1.b. Researchers interested in determining if there is a relationship between death anxiety and

religiosity conducted the following study. Subjects completed a death anxiety scale (high score =

high anxiety) and also completed a checklist designed to measure an individual's degree of

religiosity (belief in a particular religion, regular attendance at religious services, number of times

per week they regularly pray, etc.) (high score = greater religiosity). A correlation coefficient

between death anxiety and religiosity was found to be r = 0.582.How should this calculation

be interpreted?
