# A Pearson correlation was conducted to test the relationship between a person's age in years (M = 35.32, SD = 11.45) and a person's education (M = 13.82, SD = 2.59).
# There was a statistically significant relationship between the two variables, r(8) = 0.52, p = 9.113e-12.
# The relationship was positive and moderate.
# As age increased, education increased.
