The correlation coefficient r is a sample statistic. What does it tell us about the value of the population correlation coefficient ? (Greek letter rho)? You do not know how to build the formal structure of hypothesis tests of ? yet. However, there is a quick way to determine if the sample evidence based on ? 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 ? ≠ 0. We do this by comparing the value |r| to an entry in the correlation table. The value of ? in the table gives us the probability of concluding that ? ≠ 0 when, in fact, ? = 0 and there is no population correlation. We have two choices for ?: ? = 0.05 or ? = 0.01. (a) Look at the data below regarding the variables x = age of a Shetland pony and y = weight of that pony. Is the value of |r| large enough to conclude that weight and age of Shetland ponies are correlated? Use ? = 0.05.

(b) Look at the data below regarding the variables x = lowest barometric pressure as a cyclone approaches and y = maximum wind speed of the cyclone.
