variances. The covariance is fixed at 0 in the model, not estimated from the sample
information.

The following is the path diagram output of the unstandardized estimates, along with
the test of the null hypothesis that age and vocabulary are uncorrelated:
The probability of accidentally getting a departure this large from the null hypothesis
is 0.555. The null hypothesis would not be rejected at any conventional significance
level.
