Acceptable Level of Acceptance and the Affecting Factors: What Is the Acceptable Public Acceptance of Building a Nuclear Power Plant

Table 6

The calculation results of the correlation test between the acceptance level, total population, and GDP.

Correlation between	Significance	Is the correlation considered significant?	Pearson correlation coefficient
Public acceptance level and population	0.956	No	Insignificant
Public acceptance level and GDP	0.484	No	Insignificant
The population andGDP	0.001	Yes	0.608 (positive)

If the significance is <0.05 (or any other error tolerance value chosen), then the data pair tested is considered to have a relationship (correlation).
