### Correlation Significance Testing

#### (a) Testing for Significance with Sample Size \( n = 6 \)

Given:
- Sample correlation coefficient \( r = 0.892 \)

Question: Is \( r \) significant at the 1% level of significance (two-tailed test)?

- Critical \( t = \) [Input required]

**Conclusion Options:**
- Yes, the correlation coefficient \( \rho \) is significantly different from 0 at the 0.01 level of significance.
- No, the correlation coefficient \( \rho \) is not significantly different from 0 at the 0.01 level of significance.

---

#### (b) Testing for Significance with Sample Size \( n = 10 \)

Given:
- Sample correlation coefficient \( r = 0.892 \)

Question: Is \( r \) significant at the 1% level of significance (two-tailed test)?

- Critical \( t = \) [Input required]

**Conclusion Options:**
- Yes, the correlation coefficient \( \rho \) is significantly different from 0 at the 0.01 level of significance.
- No, the correlation coefficient \( \rho \) is not significantly different from 0 at the 0.01 level of significance.

#### (c) Effect of Sample Size on Test Results

Question: Why are the test results of parts (a) and (b) different despite having the same sample correlation coefficient \( r = 0.892 \)? 

Does sample size play an important role in determining the significance of a correlation coefficient? Explain.

**Options:**
- As \( n \) increases, so do the degrees of freedom, and the test statistic. This produces a smaller \( P \) value.
- As \( n \) increases, the degrees of freedom and the test statistic decrease. This produces a smaller \( P \) value.
- As \( n \) decreases, the degrees of freedom and the test statistic increase. This produces a smaller \( P \) value.
- As \( n \) increases, so do the degrees of freedom, and the test statistic. This produces a larger \( P \) value.
