Question
confused

Transcribed Image Text:Problem #1: The paired data below consist of the test scores of 6 randomly selected students and the number of hours they studied
for the test. Round to four decimals.
Hours
4
Scores
78
96
85
80
74
90
a) Find the value of the linear correlation coefficientr.
b) Find the P-value
c) Compare the P-value to a significant level of a=0.05, is there a linear correlation between the hours of studying and the
test scores?
CAUTION: Know that correlation does not imply causality.
Part 2: Hypothesis Test
STEP 1: We can identify the null and the alternative hypotheses as follow:
H: p= 0 (there is no correlation)
H:: p= 0 (there is a correlation)
Step 2: Find r
Step 3: Find the test statistic and P-value
Step 4: Decision about the null hypothesis. (P-value sa: Reject H: ; P-value >a: Fail to reject the H.)
Step 5: conclusion about the claim.
StatCrunch commands: stat < regression < simple linear < choose x and y < choose Hypothesis test< compute!
