Question

You wish to determine if there is a positive linear correlation between the two variables at a significance level of α=0.10α=0.10. You have the following bivariate data set.

x y
55.2 38.6
60.3 49.6
28.8 4.1
57.4 42.1
67.2 62.6
29.3 0.3
46.4 40.4
26.6 -3.4
50.4 36.9
45 32
43.6 32.2
20.5 -25
21.3 -18.9
14.6 -22.1
56.8 39.8
58.3 50.4
60.1 47.8
39.6 7.8
52.9 29.7
56.7 67.3
17.9 -18.4
56.2 47.9
80.1 94
49.6 46.4
52.8 38.4
47.2 33.7
59.9 63.7
35.4 27.1


What is the correlation coefficient for this data set?
       r = 
(report answer accurate to at least 3 decimal places)

To find the p-value for a correlation coefficient, you need to convert to a t-score:t=r⋅√n−21−r2t=r⋅n-21-r2This t-score is from a t-distribution with n−2n-2 degrees of freedom.

What is the p-value for this correlation coefficient?
       p-value = 
(report answer accurate to at least 4 decimal places)

Your final conclusion is that...

  • There is insufficient sample evidence to support the claim the there is a positive correlation between the two variables.
  • There is sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that there is a statistically significant positive correlation between the two variables.
