Bubble plot with regression line of the number of correct answers on the p value exercise as a function of number of correct answers on the vaccine efficacy exercise. There were six claims in each exercise. Performance correlated on the two exercises across participants (r and p indicate Pearson’s correlation coefficient and statistical significance). The red line represents the linear regression line with shaded gray area illustrating the 95% confidence interval. The circles are proportional to the number of responses in each of the cases and are for display purposes. The color intensity increases with the number of correct answers over the two exercises (from 0 in white to 12 in dark purple). All participants that completed both exercises are pooled together for this analysis (N = 756). Performance (number of correct answers out of the 6 claims) correlates between the exercises focusing on vaccine efficacy and p value
