Het antwoord van de studente is correct. Ik zou nog wel willen toevoegen dat de correlatie tussen RNR en RCF gelijk is aan 0.8. Dit wijst op een positief verband (des te dichter bij 1, des groter dat verband). 
 
Als de p-waarde of chi-kwadraat waarde kleiner is dan 0.05, dan is er geen sprake van toevalligheid.

Een goed beargumenteerd antwoord. Alle onderdelen om de vraag goed te beantwoorden zijn aanwezig. Het is belangrijk dat de betrouwbaarheid (minstens 95 procent) en het lineair verband besproken worden. Uit het antwoord van de student blijkt dus ook terecht dat de kans op toeval bijna met 100 procent zekerheid kan uitgesloten worden. Echter, de volgende zin klopt niet volledig : ' Hun toevalligheid bedraagt respectievelijk 0.87 en 1.00, hun correlatie is bijna volledig toevallig.' Dit wil niet zeggen dat het zeker aan toeval toe te wijzen valt maar dit duidt de kans op aanwezigheid van de toevalsfactor aan.
