7 10
3 5

Total Numbers: 8
Correlation: 0.8519

Did I answer this correctly?

Answer 2

Thank you for your help. I used that same webpage for help but I still wasn't sure that I was doing it correctly. Thanks for double checking.

Answer 3

Please note that stress variable can assume only two values high or low. Is it not nominal ? (You are told that this study was looking at the effects of stress (low or high) on consumption of caffeine).
