r table
Correlation coefficient

The correlation between x and y will be significant at the given probability level if your calculated value of r exceeds the tabulated r value.

Note 1: you should ignore the sign (+ or -) of your r value when reading this table.

Note 2: the value of r ALWAYS lies between 0 and 1 (or 0 and -1). If your calculated r value is more than 1 (or less than -1) then you made an error in your calculations.

Note 3: If you cannot find the required degrees of freedom, use the next lowest one.
