Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).**.

Correlation coefficient of p1 and p2 =0.480

Significant level of the correlation0.000, normally written as p ≤ 0.001

The sample size = 243

Typical hypothesis for correlation:H0 : There is no significant relationship between p1 and p2

Correlation analysis shows that H0 is not supported. This means that there is asignificant relationship between p1 and p2 (r = 0.48, p ≤ 0.001)
