1. An ardent fan of television game shows has observed that, in general, the more educated the contestant, the less money he or she wins.

1	11	750
2	15	400
3	12	600
4	16	350
5	11	800
6	16	300
7	13	650
8	14	400

e) Conduct a test of the population slop to determine at the 5% significance level whether a negative linear relationship exists between years of education and TV game shows' winnings.
