After analysis of the data on mindfulness practice and emotional resilience, the researchers obtained a calculated value of rs=0.595r_s = 0.595rs=0.595.
Using the information in Table 2 below, what conclusion can the researchers draw about the relationship between the number of hours of weekly mindfulness practice and the emotional resilience scores of the healthcare workers? Explain your answer.
