**Hydrogen content is conjectured to be an important factor in porosity of aluminum alloy castings. An article gives the accompanying data on x = content and y = gas porosity for one particular measurement technique.**

| x    | 0.18 | 0.20 | 0.21 | 0.21 | 0.22 | 0.23 | 0.24 | 0.24 | 0.25 | 0.28 | 0.30 | 0.37 |
|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|
| y    | 0.48 | 0.71 | 0.42 | 0.44 | 0.45 | 0.44 | 0.44 | 0.48 | 0.22 | 0.82 | 0.86 | 0.72 | 0.70 | 0.74 |

**Minitab gives the following output in a response to a Correlation command:**

**Correlation of Hydrcon and Porosity = 0.425**

(a) Test at a level of 0.05 to see whether the population correlation coefficient differs from 0.  
State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

- \( H_0: \rho = 0 \)  
  \( H_a: \rho < 0 \)

- \( H_0: \rho = 0 \)  
  \( H_a: \rho > 0 \)

- \( H_0: \rho = 0 \)  
  \( H_a: \rho \neq 0 \)

- \( H_0: \rho \neq 0 \)  
  \( H_a: \rho = 0 \)

Calculate the test statistic and determine the **P-value**. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.)

\[ t = \_\_\_ \]  
\[ \text{P-value} = \_\_\_ \]

State the conclusion in the problem context.

- Fail to reject \( H_0 \). The data does not suggest that the population correlation coefficient differs significantly from 0.
  
- Reject \( H_0 \). The data suggests that the population correlation coefficient differs significantly from 0.
  
- Fail to reject \( H_0
