Discussion:
Analyze my data with spearmans rank order coefficient test and came up with the table.
Finding out whether my correlation coefficient - 0.420- is statistically significant. This is what i understand (not much!)
- take the t value and compare it to the critical value (my hypothesis is 1-tailed, my confidence level is .05) so compare 1.308 and 1.860
- if the critical is equal to or less than t, it is significant (which it's not)
