Let x be a random variable that represents the percentage of successful free throws a professional basketball player makes in a season. Let y be a random variable that represents the percentage of successful field goals a professional basketball player makes in a season. A random sample of n = 6 professional basketball players gave the following information. Σx = 438, Σy = 275, Σx2 = 32264, Σy2 = 12727, Σxy = 20231, and r ≈ 0.827.

Conclusion

Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that ρ > 0.
Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that ρ > 0.   
 Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that ρ > 0.
Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that ρ > 0.

Interpret its meaning.

For every percentage increase in successful free throws, the percentage of successful field goals increases by an amount that falls outside the confidence interval.
For every percentage increase in successful free throws, the percentage of successful field goals increases by an amount that falls within the confidence interval.    
For every percentage increase in successful free throws, the percentage of successful field goals decreases by an amount that falls outside the confidence interval.
For every percentage increase in successful free throws, the percentage of successful field goals decreases by an amount that falls within the confidence interval.
