H: Select an answer
Original claim =
OH:
O Ho
Note: In your calculations, except for the p-value and the graph, round both r and t to 3 decimal places in
ALL calculations. What is the correlation coefficient for this data set?
To find the p-value for a correlation coefficient, you need to convert to a t-score:
r2(n – 2)
t =
1- 12
This t-score is from a t-distribution with n-2 degrees of freedom.
t=

Expert Solution
Step 1 : Hypotheses.

 Claim : There is a negative linear correlation between the two variables.

Based on the above claim the null and alternative being tested is ,

Null hypotheses , Ho : ρ = 0.

Alternative hypotheses , H1 : ρ < 0.

The directional of this is left tailed test .

Note : left and right tailed tests both comes under one tailed test.

Original claim : H.

Step 2 : Correlation , r.

It is asked to calculate correlation coefficient , r for the given data set.

It can be easily calculated by using MS_EXCEL.

Please refer the following steps.

  • Enter your x and y data in excel.
  • Use =CORREL ( array 1 , array2 ) function to calculate r.

it will look like ,

Now hit on enter to get the correlation coefficient (r) and it is equal to  -0.79684 till 3 decimal places it would be -0.797.

Thus , the correlation coefficient (r) for this data set is -0.797.

 

Step 3 : t score.

The formula to calculate t score is , 

t = r²(n-2)1-r²=(-0.797)²(5-2)1-(-0.797)²=2.286

Note : n is the numbers in your data set (either in x or y) so it is equal to 5.

Thus , t score = 2.286.
