# A Spearman's correlation was conducted to test the relationship between Age (Mdn = 35.79) and Education (Mdn = 14.02).
# There was a statistically significant relationship between the two variables, ρ = .52, p < .001.
# The relationship was positive and moderate.
# As the independent variable increased, the dependent variable increased.
