Dr. Vance conducted a study investigating the correlation between daily screen time and self-reported stress levels using a sample of N=9N = 9N=9 undergraduate students. She predicted that there would be a correlation between these two variables (a non-directional hypothesis) and calculated a Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (rsr_srs) of 0.815.
Using the critical values table below, determine the lowest level of significance (the most stringent ppp-value) Dr. Vance could use for her results to still be considered statistically significant.
