Statistical significance of correlations
employees.oneonta.edu › files › signifofcorrelationsThe chart below shows how large a correlation coefficient must be to be statistically significant. The chart shows one-tailed probabilities, so multiply the probabilities along the top row of the chart by 2 to get 2-tailed probabilities. In other words, the columns labeled .05, .025, .01, .005, .0005 (for one-tailed probabilities) should be changed to .10, .05, .02, .01, and .001 (for two-tailed probabilities).
