• • • • o o o o o • • • For this Assignment, you will run a Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient analysis using the Week 5 Data File for the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient.sav data file. To prepare for this Assignment, review Lesson 16A and Lesson 31 in your Green and Salkind (2017) text, as well as the Week 5 Assignment Exemplar and Week 5 Assignment Template documents, provided in this week’s Resources. Consider how a correlation analysis would effectively allow you to answer your research questions. By Day 7 Submit a synthesis of statistical findings derived from correlational analysis that follows the Week 5 Assignment Template. Your synthesis must include the following: A description and justification for using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test A properly formatted research question A properly formatted H0(null) and H1 (alternate) hypothesis An APA-formatted “Results” section for the Pearson Product-Moment test Identification of the statistical test Identification of variables (there is no distinction between independent and dependent variables for the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test) Identification of data assumptions and assessment outcome Inferential results in correct APA statistical notation format A properly formatted scatter plot An explanation of the differences and similarities of correlation analysis and bivariate regression analysis Properly APA-formatted references An Appendix containing SPSS output (see Week 5 Assignment Exemplar) Note: You will cut and paste the appropriate SPSS output into the Appendix. The SPSS output is not in APA format, so you will need to type the information from the SPSS output to the appropriate sections of the APA table.

Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation
Making an informed decision is an imperative process in daily life whether
involving an organization or an individual. This involves collecting relevant data and
performing statistical analysis with an objective of making new discoveries and
developing essential insights from the obtained information. Bell, Bryman, and Harley
(2018) define statistical examination as a mathematical process that utilizes different
statistical models to clean and manipulate data, in a bid to make supported conclusion
drawn from a hypothetical statement. Some of the mathematical models used in data
evaluation include correlational models, regression models, t-test and chi-square among
others. The analysis focus on determining whether there is an association between
employee age and weekly safety incidents.
This will use the Pearson Product-moment correlation test to determine the
direction and strength of the correlation between age and safety incidents. Product
moment correlation coefficient measures the degree of an association between two
elements denoted by r (Schober, Boer, & Schwarte, 2018). Notably, the correlational
coefficient r lie between -1 and 1, with a value close to 1 implies that a relationship
between two variables is positive and strong while a coefficient 0 implies that two
variables under investigation are not correlated. The decision rule for r supposes that for
r-values between 0.1 and 0.3 indicate a weak positive correlation, 0.3 and 0.5 moderate
connection while 0.5 to 0.7 depicts a strong positive association between the variables
under statistical scrutiny.

Research Question
Is there a statistically significant association between the age of an employee and
weekly safety incidents?
Hypotheses
Null hypothesis
Ho: Employees age is not associated with weekly safety incidents.
Alternative Hypothesis
H1: Employees age is associated with weekly safety incidents.
Results
Variables
The variables involved in the correlational test are the employees’ age and the recorded
weekly safety incidents.
Assumptions
The product moment correlation test assumed that the variables
i. Are derived from related pairs
ii. Reveal no presence of outliers
iii. Satisfy the normality
iv. Are linear
v. Homoscedasticity
Inferential Results
The correlational table below illustrates the inferential outcomes from Pearson's
Products moment correlational test.
