Question
Test the claim that the linear correlation coefficient of a population is statistically significant. A random
sample of 15 (x,y) pairs yields r 0.51. Use a = 0.05.
1. Select the correct statement:
O If the correlation is found to be statistically significant, that means that changes in x cause changes
in y
O Even if the correlation is found to be statistically significant, that does net necessarily mean that
changes in x cause changes in y
The hypotheses are:
O Ho:p = 0; Ha:p+ 0
0; Ha:r + 0
O Ho:r =
O Ho:r < 0; Ha:r > 0
O Ho:r > 0; Ha:r < 0
O Ho:p 2 0; Ha:p < 0
O Ho:p < 0; Ha:p> 0

4. The decision at a = 0.05 is:
O Reject Ho since P > a
O Reject Ho since P < a
O Do not reject Ho since P > a
O Do not reject Ho since P< a
The conclusion is:
O There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is not a statistically significant linear correlation
O There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a statistically significant linear correlation
O There is insufficient evidence to conclude that there is a statistically significant linear correlation
O There is insufficient evidence to conclude that there is not a statistically significant linear
