- Before computing the correlation, state the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis in words (not formulas).
- Based on the hypotheses you stated, explain whether the researcher should conduct a one-tailed or two-tailed test.
- Identify the correlation coefficient (r) for this data set using SPSS and report it in your answer document.
- State the degrees of freedom and explain how you calculated it by hand.
- Identify the p value and report it in your answer document.
- Explain whether the researcher should retain or reject the null hypothesis.
- Are the results statistically significant? Explain how you know.
- Explain what the researcher can conclude about the relationship between amount of sleep and reaction times. Include a description of the direction (positive, negative, or no relationship) and strength (weak, moderate, or strong) of the relationship.
