Answer:
t = r n − 2 1 − r 2 = 0.45 25 − 2 1 − 0.45 2 = 2.417 The critical value for α = 0.05 for a two-tailed test using the t 24 distribution is 2.064. Your value is greater than this, so you reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the study produced evidence that the variables are significantly correlated
