1. Copy and paste your output. Interpret the output by stating the correlation coefficient and explaining the strength and the direction.

3. Use the following output, and answer the question.

Correlations
		height	shoe size
height	Pearson Correlation	1.000	.885**
Sig. (2-tailed)		.001
N	10.000	10
shoe size	Pearson Correlation	.885**	1.000
Sig. (2-tailed)	.001
N	10	10.000
**. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).

A correlation was conducted to see if there is a relationship between height and shoe size. Explain the significance, direction, strength of the correlation.
