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 ( $r_s$ ). Both communities had a sample size of $N = 20$ .

Table 1: Spearman's rank correlation coefficients ( $r_s$ ) for outgroup stereotyping and empathy

Community	Correlation coefficient ( $r_s$ )
Community A	-0.39
Community B	-0.48

Table 2: Extract of critical values for Spearman's rank correlation coefficient ( $r_s$ ) for $N = 20$ (two-tailed test)

Significance level (two-tailed $p$ )	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.
