Multiple Correlation Matrix     

 Cell Contents: Correlation
                    P-Value

• The null is:  H₀: r = 0                           (i.e.  no significant correlation)
• The alternative is:  H_a: r is not equal to 0  (i.e. a significant correlation)

            r, rho, is the population correlation coefficient for the paired variables.

You can interpret the results in two ways: 

r = .963 => This is a high correlation value, therefore, implying a strong positive linear correlation between the amount of water consumed and the temperature (F) outside.

p-value = .001 =>This p-value is lower than the significant level of 5%, therefore, implying a linear correlation between the amount of water consumed and the temperature (F) outside.
