MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. The value of the linear correlation coefficient, r, and the sample size, n, are given. Find the critical values that would be used in a test of the null hypothesis r = 0 against r - 0, and determine whether there is significant linear correlation. Use a significance level of 0.05 and assume that the test statistic is r. 1) r = 0.411 n = 15 , A) Critical values: r = 0.514, no significant linear correlation B) Critical values: r = 0.514, significant linear correlation C) Critical values: r = 0.514, no significant linear correlation D) Critical values: r = 0.532, no significant linear correlation 2) r = 0.244 n = 92 , A) Critical values: r = 0.217, no significant linear correlation B) Critical values: r = 0.205, significant linear correlation C) Critical values: r = 0.217, significant linear correlation D) Critical values: r = 0.205, no significant linear correlation Construct a scatter diagram for the given data. x 10 -15 -19 8 -16 -7 3) y -78 -18 68 -41 78 22
