a)
r =-0.631
b)
null hypothesis:Ho | ρ | = | 0 | |
Alternate Hypothesis:Ha: | ρ | < | 0 |
t-test statistic =-1.628
critical t-score = -2.132
Because the test statistic is greater than the critical value do not reject null hypothesis. One cannot conclude that the population correlation coefficient is less than zero.
