Question:
\n" ); document.write( "The following hypotheses are given.
\n" ); document.write( "\"H%5B0%5D\":p ≤ 0
\n" ); document.write( "\"H%5B1%5D\"):p > 0
\n" ); document.write( "A random sample of 15 paired observations have a correlation of -.46. Can we
\n" ); document.write( "conclude that the correlation in the population is less than zero? Use the.05

\n" ); document.write( "Answer:
\n" ); document.write( "The hypotheses should be
\n" ); document.write( "\"H%5B0%5D\":p ≥ 0
\n" ); document.write( "\"H%5B1%5D\":p < 0
\n" ); document.write( "α = .05
\n" ); document.write( "Test Statistic: t, df = 13
\n" ); document.write( "Critical Value: -1.7709
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"r%2Asqrt%28%28n-2%29%2F%281-r%5E2%29%29\" = \"-0.46%2Asqrt%28%2815-2%29%2F%281-%28-0.46%29%5E2%29%29\" = -1.8679
\n" ); document.write( "P-Value: 0.0422
\n" ); document.write( "Reject \"H%5B0%5D\" because the p-value is less than α = .05. Sample provides evidence to support the claim that the correlation in the population is less than zero.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
