Chapter 9.1, Problem 36E

The t-Test for Correlation Coefficients In Exercises 33–36, perform a hypothesis test using Table 5 in Appendix B to make a conclusion about the correlation coefficient.

36. Maximal Strength and Sprint Performance The table in Exercise 26 shows the maximum weights (in kilograms) for which one repetition of a half squat can be performed and the times (in seconds) to run a 10-meter sprint for 12 international soccer players. At a = 0.01, is there enough evidence to conclude that there is a significant linear correlation between the data? (Use the value of r found in Exercise 26.)
