To test the null hypothesis stating there is no significant relationship between the quality of teacher-student relationships and academic performance, we've already conducted a Pearson correlation test. The results were:
- Pearson Correlation Coefficient: 0.987, indicating a very strong positive correlation.
- P-value: 0.002, suggesting that the probability of observing this strong correlation by chance is very low.
Since the p-value is less than the commonly used significance level of 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis. This means there is significant evidence to suggest a strong positive relationship between the quality of teacher-student relationships and academic performance.
