With correlation and regression scores on x and y must be disturbed and there must be a linear relationship between x and y.

Ho: There is no relationship between feelings towards the bible and religious service attendance.

My alternative hypothesis is:

H1: There is a strong relationship between those with feelings towards the bible and religious service attendance.

Based on my findings there is a significant correlation between the two variables, so I would reject the null hypothesis that there is no relationship between the variables.
