Compares the average difference between two groups: e. g. , is the average gpa of 4th-year utsc students higher than the average. A correlational analysis gives you two things: a correlation coef cient (abbreviated with the italicized, lowercase letter, r), and a probability value (abbreviated: p-value ) There is no relationship if |r|< . 1, a small relationship if . 1. The p-value of a correlation test tells you the probability that you would observe a. If you square the correlation coef cient (i. e. , r2), then the resulting number is the. |r|< 0. 5, and a large relationship if 0. 5. Lecture 1: it depends on your research question, easy ways to gure it out, what kind of variables did you identify for your research question, if both are non-categorical (i. e. , continuous ) correlation, if one is categorical.
