Q
Results
A

Critical Value = 0.2999

Q
Conclusion
A
The Spearman’s Rho was 0.14 which shows a weak positive correlation. Following the Spearman’s Rho statistical test, the calculated value of 0.14 was higher than the critical value of 0.299. This means that the results were not significant at the 5% significance level.
Therefore, the null hypothesis that there will be no correlation found between levels of sleep and aggression scores, any difference will be due to chance is accepted.
