Judge and Cable (2010) report the results of a study demonstrating a negative relationship between weight and income for a group of men. Following are data similar to those obtained in the study. To simplify the weight variable, the men are classified into five categories that measure actual weight relative to height, from 1 = thinnest to 5 = heaviest.

Question
Judge and Cable (2010) report the results of a study demonstrating a negative relationship between weight and income for a group of men. Following are data similar to those obtained in the study. To simplify the weight variable, the men are classified into five categories that measure actual weight relative to height, from 1 = thinnest to 5 = heaviest. Income figures are annual income (in thousands), rounded to the nearest $1,000.

Compute the Pearson correlation.
 
(to three decimal places)
 
Is the correlation statistically significant? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. (Calculate the following using the r value found above and round your answers to three decimal places for srr and to two decimal places for t and tcriticalcritical.)

The correlation    statistically significant.
Expert Solution
Step 1

We have given that 

Weight 4 5 3 2 1 3 1 5
Income 151 88 52 73 49 92 56 143

Then we have to compute Pearson correlation coefficient between Weight (X) and Income (Y)...

Then we have to test the hypothesis for the claim that correlation between X and Y is significant or not....
