Suppose that a researcher obtains a correlation of r = +.40 for a sample of n = 30 participants.  Is this sample sufficient to conclude that a correlation exists in the population?  Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.
Group of answer choices
r-critical = .361, Reject H0 (Conclude there is a correlation in the population)
r-critical = .349, Reject H0 (Conclude there is a correlation in the population)
r-critical = .361, Fail to Reject H0 (Conclude there is no correlation in the population)
r-critical = .349, Fail to Reject H0 (Conclude there is no correlation in the population)
