A researcher finds a correlation of r x y = + 0.40 with a sample of n = 25 bi-variate observations. Given a null hypothesis of H0: ρ x y = 0 and α = 0.05 , the researcher should:
cant tell from the information given
reject the null hypothesis
fail to reject the null hypothesis
Also, using α = .05, run a two-tail t-test for one sample to test Ho: µ=283 for the 2009 scores. Report the t-obt, df, and p-values.
Would you reject the null hypothesis that the 2009 scores come from a population with average 283? If this is the case, does it come from a population from larger or smaller average?
In a test of H0:p=0.4 against Ha:p≠0.4, a sample of size 100 produces z=1.28 for the value of the test statistic. Thus the p-value of the test is approximately equal to?

A test of Ho: 0 against H: H > 0 was performed, where u is the population mean weight loss that would occur in six weeks if the supplement were given to all obese individuals in the population of interest. The test statistic came out to be t = 1.51. Therefore: O The P-value is between .05 and .10, so the evidence that the supplement works is fairly strong. O The P-value is between .05 and .10, so the evidence that the supplement works is fairly weak. O The P-value is between .10 and .20, so the evidence that the supplement works is fairly strong.
