Module 7 SPSS Data Interpretation

Review the SPSS output file which reports the results of the correlation to see if there is a correlation between the cost of beer and the number of calories it contains or the cost of beer and the volume of alcohol it contains. Answer the following questions based on your observations of the SPSS output file:

Based on the correlation coefficients (r-values) that were computed and their statistical significance, what conclusions do you draw regarding

1. The researcher’s question of correlation between the cost of beer and the number of calories it contains?
2. The researcher’s question of correlation between the cost of beer and the volume of alcohol it contains?
