The Shapiro-Wilk normality test. Pearson’s correlation or the Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Pearson’s correlation coefficient is denoted by “R” and Spearman’s correlation coefficient is denoted by “Rho”. If R or Rho is >0.5, it means that there is a positive and strong correlation, and the condition for it to be statistically significant is that p is <0.05.
