Question
(see problem attached)
Compute the pearson
The correlation is:
Medium and negative
Large and negative
Large and positive
Medium and positive
The alternative hypothesis in words for a two-tailed test is:
The correlation between the scores on the 7-minute screen test and the scores on the cognitive series is significant
The correlation between the scores on the 7-minute screen test and the scores on the cognitive series is not significant
The correlation between the scores on the 7-minute screen test and the scores on the cognitive series is less than zero
The correlation between the scores on the 7-minute screen test and the scores on the cognitive series is greater than zero
The null hypothesis in symbols for a two-tailed test is
H0: ρ = 0
H0: ρ ≠ 0
H0: r = 0
H0: r ≠ 0
If we use a two-tailed test with α = .01, the critical r values are:
±0.833
±0.874
±0.754
±0.669
Your decision is:
Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant correlation between the scores on the 7-minute screen test and the scores on the cognitive series
Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant correlation between the scores on the 7-minute screen test and the scores on the cognitive series
Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no significant correlation between the scores on the 7-minute screen test and the scores on the cognitive series
Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no significant correlation between the scores on the 7-minute screen test and the scores on the cognitive series

Transcribed Image Text:**Identifying Individuals at Risk for Alzheimer's: A Comparative Study**
Identifying individuals with a high risk of Alzheimer's disease usually involves a long series of cognitive tests. However, researchers have developed a 7-Minute Screen, which is a quick and easy way to accomplish the same goal. The question is whether the 7-Minute Screen is as effective as the complete series of tests. To address this question, Ijuin et al. (2008) administered both tests to a group of patients and compared the results. The following data represent results similar to those obtained in the study.
| Patient | 7-Minute Screen | Cognitive Series |
|---------|-----------------|------------------|
| A | 3 | 7 |
| B | 7 | 15 |
| C | 4 | 14 |
| D | 5 | 13 |
| E | 7 | 9 |
| F | 5 | 15 |
| G | 11 | 25 |
**Explanation of the Table:**
- **Patient**: Represents each participant in the study, labeled from A to G.
- **7-Minute Screen**: The scores obtained from the quick 7-Minute screening test.
- **Cognitive Series**: The scores obtained from the complete series of cognitive tests.
The table compares the scores from the two testing methods, illustrating how results from the 7-Minute Screen align with those from a more comprehensive test series.
