Scatter plot digram of Males & Female respondents

NOTE: Waist circumference is HALVED.

Correlation for ALL respondents
Symmetric measure for ALL respondents

With reference to Correlation Coefficient table found: HERE.

As critical value = 0.372 (derived from column:0.01 and row:45) and as our calculated r value is greater than the critical value of r (from the table), we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.
Also, since our p-value is lesser than 0.005, we can reject our null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis.

Result: There is a weak positive significant association between neck and half-waist (r=0.528, p< 0.005, n=50).
