The findings indicate that the significance value of the p-value is 0.005 (<0.05). Therefore, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. The magnitude of the correlation is -0.440 which indicates that the correlation is a moderate negative (downhill) linear relationship.
