Organizational use of the Internet. Researchers from the United Kingdom and Germany attempted to develop a theoretically grounded measure of organizational Internet use (OIU) and published their results in Internet Research (Vol. 15, 2005). Using data collected from a sample of 77 Web sites, they investigated the link between OIU level (measured on a 7-point scale) and several observation-based indicators. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (and associated p-values) for several indicators are shown in the table.
a. Interpret each of the values of \(r_s\) given in the table.
b. Interpret each of the p-values given in the table. (Use \(\alpha = .10\) to conduct each test.)

ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
We have the data collected from a sample of 77 websites; they investigated the link
between OIU level and several observation-based indicators.
Here we have spearman’s rank correlation coefficient for several indicators are given
