The matrix of data presented on
this tab is related to the correlation coefficients (prior tab on the
spreadsheet). Specifically, the numbers
presented here are P-values. The null
hypothesis is: Rho = 0. That is, the
correlation coefficient is equal to zero.
A P-value of, for example, 0.05 would allow the researcher to reject the
null hypothesis at the 95% confidence level (or 1.0 less the computed
p-value). Failure to reject the null
hypothesis would mean that the computed correlation coefficient is no different
than zero (no effect).
