Based on your understanding of the text discussion, which of the following statements
best captures the meaning of: r = .-.61, p < .002?

increase; the probability that this would happen by chance alone is less than 2
times in 100; the relationship is significant
b. two variables were correlated and as one variable increases, the other tends to also
increase; the probability that this would happen by chance alone is less than 2
times in 1,000; the relationship is NOT significant
c. two variables were correlated and as one variable increases, the other tends to
decrease; the probability that this would happen by chance alone is less than 2
times in 1,000; the relationship is significant
d. two variables were correlated and as one variable increases, the other tends to
decrease; the probability that this would happen by chance alone is less than 2
times in 1,000; the relationship is NOT significant
