Question

A 0.01 significance level is being used to test a correlation between two variables. If the linear correlation coefficient r is found to be 0.591 and the critical values are r ​0.590, what can you​ conclude?

Answer 1

There is sufficient evidence that there is linear correlation between two variable

Explanation:

From the question we are told

The significance level is
`\alpha = 0.01`

The critical value is
`a = 0.590`

The test statistics is
`r = 0.591`(linear correlation coefficient )

Now from the data given in the value we see that

`r > a` so the null hypothesis is rejected

Hence the conclusion is that there is sufficient evidence that there is linear correlation between two variable
