What is the critical value of the correlation coefficient needed for rejection of the null hypothesis if your degrees of freedom is 30 and you are conducting a two-tailed test using the .05 level of significance?
Solution:
Given:
df = degrees of freedom = 30
We have to find the critical value of the correlation coefficient needed for rejection of the null hypothesis for two tailed test.
Level of significance = 0.05
From above table , we have the critical value of the correlation coefficient = 0.349
That is: r critical value =0.349
Thus we reject null hypothesis
, if calculated value of correlation coefficient > r
critical value =0.349 .
