The null hypothesis is not rejected having p=2.766 ≥ 0.05. As a result of the above solutions, it can be determined
that there is insufficient evidence to declare that the population correlation p is different than zero at the a= 0.05
significance level. Thus, it can be concluded that there is no significant relationship between Math grade and
English grade.
