# A Spearman correlation was conducted to test the relationship between age (Mdn = 35.79811) and education (Mdn = 14.02915).

# There was a statistically significant relationship between the two variables, ρ = <2.2e-16, p = 0.5244375.

# The relationship was positive and strong.

# As the age increased, the education increased.
# age histogram was changed from negatively skewed to symmetrical. I was not originally sure if it was symmetrical enough that is why a said negatively skewed. 
# education histogram was changed from abnormally distributed to normally distributed. Because there were data points that I considered outliers that apparently are not actually considered outliers. So, I changed negatively skewed to symmetrical. I had chosen negatively skewed because I was taking symmetrical to literal not accounting for the fact that data points are not perfect. Which also explains why I needed to change not bell-shaped to there is a bell curve.  
# The Shapiro: age, I put the actual number not that it is p > .05.
# The Shapiro: education, I put the actual number and did not answer it as p > .05 the way we were instructed.
# I changed p = 9.113e-12 to p < .001. I keep forgetting to put the requested response and not the calculated answer. I will work on that.
# Pearson interpretation, I changed decreased to increased because as age increased, education also increased. I was being to literal and paid to close attention to the first 5 bars or so instead of looking at all of them as a whole.
