WI=Work involvement Scale, WLC=Work-Life Conflict Scale, Enjoy=Work Enjoyment Scale LS=Life Satisfaction Scale, PIL=Purpose in Life Scale
* p < 0.05
** p < 0.01
Consider the correlation matrix above and answer the following questions.
What is the correlation coefficient for the relationship between Life Satisfaction and Purpose in Life?
Which of the two variables have the weakest correlation?
Is the correlation coefficient for the relationship between Enjoyment of Work and Purpose in Life statistically significant? If yes, at what probability level is it significant?
The relationship between WLC and LS is such that those who have high WLC scores tend to have:
High LS scores. B. low LS scores.
Identify variables which have insignificant relationships with variable "Driven".
There are 10 statistically significant correlation coefficients in the table. Are they all significant at the same level of significance? Explain.
Should the null hypothesis of the relationship between WI and LS rejected? Explain.
What is the probability that the correlation for the relationship between PIL and Enjoy is a chance deviation (due to random sampling error) from 0.00?
In statistics, a Type I error is the error of rejecting the null hypothesis when, in truth, it is correct. If we reject the null hypothesis regarding the relationship between Driven and WI, what is the probability that we are making a Type I error?
How many of the correlations with PIL are statistically significant.

Explanation / Answer
We are allowed to do 4 subparts question at a time. Post again for more subparts of question.
a) What is the correlation coefficient for the relationship between Life Satisfaction and Purpose in Life?
Ans: 0.53
b) Which of the two variables have the weakest correlation?
Ans: Driven and Enjoy (zero correlation)
c) Is the correlation coefficient for the relationship between Enjoyment of Work and Purpose in Life statistically significant? If yes, at what probability level is it significant?
Ans: Yes, correlation coefficient for the relationship between Enjoyment of Work and Purpose in Life statistically significant. At p value < 0.01
d) The relationship between WLC and LS is such that those who have high WLC scores tend to have:
Ans: Negative correlation. High WLC scores mean Low LS scores
