You wish to determine if there is a linear correlation between
the two variables at a significance level of α=0.005α=0.005. You
have the following bivariate data set.
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 39 | 52.7 |
| 29.7 | 82.5 |
| 32.1 | 72.4 |
| 39.4 | 98.3 |
| 31.1 | 51.4 |
| 43.1 | 51.8 |
| 35.5 | 43.8 |
| 29.5 | 90.8 |
| 38.4 | 100 |
| 36.8 | 7.4 |
| 34 | 67.5 |
| 28.3 | 97.2 |
| 32.2 | 82.2 |
| 29.9 | 28.9 |
What is the correlation coefficient for this data set?
r =
What is the p-value for this correlation coefficient?
p-value =
Your final conclusion is that...
Note: Round answers to three decimal places.
The statistical software output for this problem is :

r = -0.167
P-value = 0.569
There is insufficient sample evidence to support the claim the
there is a correlation between the two variables
