A high school guidance counselor is interested in the relationship between proximity to school and participation in extracurricular activities. He collects the data on distance from home to school (in miles) and number of clubs joined for a sample of 10 juniors. Using the following data, compute a Pearson’s correlation coefficient and indicate whether the correlation is significant. State your null and alternative hypothesis and show your work step by step. Make sure interpret your finding (Use .05 significance level).
