Correlation Matrix with Descriptive Statistics

Formats a bivariate correlation matrix with descriptive statistics (M, SD) for three variables, using the classic triangular matrix format with significance indicators and comprehensive notes.

Input

What you provide to the skill

Correlation matrix for N=85 participants. Variables: Anxiety (M=24.3, SD=6.1), Sleep Quality (M=6.2, SD=1.8), Academic Performance (M=78.5, SD=9.2). Anxiety-Sleep: r=-.42, p<.001. Anxiety-Performance: r=-.35, p=.001. Sleep-Performance: r=.51, p<.001
