Suppose you will perform a test to determine whether
there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear
correlation between two variables. Find the critical values of r
given the number of pairs of data n and the significance level
.
n = 14, = 0.05
A; r = 0.532
B; r = ±0.532
C; r = 0.553
D; r = ±0.661
Solution: The correct option is B; r = ±0.532
Explanation:
To find the critical values of r, we need to know the degrees of freedom and the significance level.
Now using the r-critical value table, we have:
