R Square                                                                                                    ____.004_____

In your own words, describe the relationship between EDS137 and DMS468. How would you explain these findings?

Answer 1

Since the significance level is very high (0.651)

The correlation between

per capita state & local govt spending for education EDS137

and

Percent of population black DMS468

Is statistically insignificant.

Thus, there is no statistical evidence of relationship between the two variables EDS137 and DMS468.
