Hi there,

I hope you’re well. We have a research report/proposal due for Statistics next month. We were told to gather data on anything related to schools, learners or teachers. I have chosen to gather data on academic achievement and sports participation. I am interested in the difference between a learners academic achievement and whether he/she takes part in sports or not.

I received data from the school which I put into a table. It is the academic term average for those who do sports and those who do not. We are now required to carry out a t-test (which I have done) and possibly do a correlation analysis (if viable) along with graphs etc.

  1. The t-test I conducted with the data, rejected the null hypothesis, in otherwords there is a significant difference between the two groups. I tried to do the correaltion analysis in excel with the data I was given along with a scatterplot, but it just doesn't look right. 

I have attached the image with the raw data, the correlation analysis and scatterplot. 

 

I would really love to do well in this course, but it is not my strongest subject.

I would really appreciate your assistance.

 

Thank you kindly,

Carmen Loureiro

Follow-up Question

Thank you for your assistance and clarification. 

1. Just to confirm, the population correlation does not differ significantly from zero - would that then mean there is no real difference between the groups in terms of academic achivement and sports participation? I need to state it in a non-statistical sentence.

2. Please could you provide a scatterplot for this data so I can make sure mine is correct.

Thank you so much, really appreciate your help!
