Answer:

Linear correlation exists

Explanation:

Given the data :

X : | 2 4 5 6

Y : | 6 9 8 10

Using technology to fit the data and obtain the correlation Coefficient of the regression model,

The Correlation Coefficient, r is 0.886

To test if there exists a linear correlation :

Test statistic :

T = r / √(1 - r²) / (n - 2)

n = number of observations

T = 0.886 / √(1 - 0.886²) / (4 - 2)

T = 0.866 / 0.3535845

T = 2.449

Comparing Pvalue with α

If Pvalue < α ; Reject H0

Pvalue = 0.1143

α = 0.05

Pvalue > α ; We reject the null and conclude that linear correlation exists
