Step 1

Given:

S.No x y
1 11 5
2 17 7
3 4 0
4 7 2
5 10 4
6 5 1
7 13 8

1.Null Hypothesis H0: There is no relationship between age and amount of time spent on computer.

H0: ρ=0

2.Alternative Hypothesis H1: There is a relationship between age and amount of time spent on computer.

H1: ρ0

Step 2

3.Level of Significance : Level of Significance is given as α=0.05.

4. Test Statistic :

t=rn-21-r2

Where correlation r can be calculated from the formula,

r=nxy-xynx2-x2ny2-y2

Correlation 'r' is calculated as below:

S.No x y xy x2 y2
1 11 5 55 121 25
2 17 7 119 289 49
3 4 0 0 16 0
