Determine correlation between weight or height with any of the performance variables

Research Question
Is that the height of students affect the standing long jump results?

Null hypothesis

HO : p = 0, the population correlation coefficient is equal to zero.

The height of students will not affect the standing long jump results.

HA : p ≠ 0, the population correlation coefficient is not equal to zero.

The height of students will affect the standing long jump results.

**. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).

There was a statistically significant relationsgip between height of students and standing long
jump results, so we can reject the null hypothesis.

Report
The magnitude of the Pearson correlation coefficient determines the strength of the correlation.
Although there are no hard-and-fast rules for assigning strength of association to particular
values, some general guidelines are provided by Cohen (1988):
Coefficient Value Strength of Association
0.1 < | r | < .3 small correlation
0.3 < | r | < .5 medium/moderate correlation
| r | > .5 large/strong correlation
There was a strong positive correlation between the height of students and standing long jump
results , r = .502. An increase in height of students was moderately correlated with an
increase in standing long jump results, r = .502, p ˂ .0005.
