Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the linear correlation coefficient r is found to be 0.591
the critical values are r equals plus or minus 0.878.
Significance level used = 0.05
The correlation r = 0.591
[tex]H_0:r=0\\H_a: r\neq 0[/tex]
(two tailed test)
Test statistic = [tex]\frac{r\sqrt{n-2} }{\sqrt{1-r^2} } \\=0.7326*df[/tex]
Since r is less than 0.878, we accept that there is linear correlation between the two variables.
