How would you interpret the results? Do not just restate the statistics without any interpretation. What do you observe in the findings-be specific. Remember the null hypothesis is that there is no association. So, based on the level of significance, can we reject or confirm the null hypothesis? If we can reject the null hypothesis meaning that the correlation statistic is statistically significant, then what do the results tell us? Try to answer as though your audience has little, if any, statistical knowledge but also consider what might be the reasons for the findings (in other words, why?). Social Science homework help
