Null hypothesis : r is not significant.
Alternative hypothesis : r is significant.
We have the table for critical values :
We look for values corresponding to n = 7 in the above table.
Case 1 : When
Critical values are - 0.87 , 0.87
Since, r = 0.995 does not lie between - 0.87 and 0.87 , we reject null hypothesis and conclude that r is significant.
Case 2 : When
Critical values are - 0.75 , 0.75
Since, r = 0.995 does not lie between - 0.75 and 0.75 , we reject null hypothesis and conclude that r is significant.
