The correlation coefficient r is a sample statistic. What does it tell us about the value of the population correlation coefficient p (Greek letter rho)? You do not know how to build the formal structure of hypothesis tests of p yet. However, there is a quick way to determine if the sample evidence based on p is strong enough to conclude that there is some population correlation between the variables. In other words, we can use the value of r to determine if p + 0. We do this by comparing the value Ir| to an entry in the correlation table. The value of a in the table gives us the probability of concluding that p +0 when, in fact, p = 0 and there is no population correlation. We have two choices for a: a = 0.05 or a = 0.01.
