How do I correctly interpret this data to the question I chose? (does the hours per week spent working effect a student's current grade point average?) and which should I use, Pearsons or Spearman? (this stuff is tough)
The question I wrote is below that can be answered via correlation analysis with two approximately normal or scale variables.
A question that can be answered using correlation analysis with two approximately normal or scale variables is: does the hours per week spent working effect a student's current grade point average? (Morgan et al., 2020).
