Question
A data set includes weights of garbage discarded in one week from
62
different households. The paired weights of paper and glass were used to obtain the results shown to the right. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between weights of discarded paper and​ glass? Use a significance level of
α=0.05.

A.
There is one critical value at

B.
There are two critical values at
r=±nothing.
State the conclusion.
 
Because the absolute value of the test statistic is

is
sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the weights of discarded paper and glass for a significance level of
α=0.05.
