A social psychologist conducted a study into intergroup relations, measuring the relationship between outgroup stereotyping and empathy across two different communities using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (rsr_srs). Both communities had a sample size of N=20N = 20N=20.
| Community | Correlation coefficient (rsr_srs) |
|---|---|
| Community A | -0.39 |
| Community B | -0.48 |
| Significance level (two-tailed ppp) | 0.10 | 0.05 | 0.02 | 0.01 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Critical value | 0.380 | 0.447 | 0.522 | 0.570 |
Using Table 1 and Table 2, state the best level of probability at which the results would be significant for Community A and for Community B.
