Question 975185: If a sample of size 18 has a linear correlation coefficient of -0.35 is there significant reason to conclude that the linear correlation coefficient of the population is negative? Use α = 0.01.
A) Reject the null hypothesis, there is not significant evidence of a negative linear correlation.
B) Reject the null hypothesis, there is significant evidence of a negative linear correlation.
C) Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is not significant evidence of a negative linear correlation.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! That is 16 degrees of freedom, and it is not significant at the 0.10 level.
I don't reject Ho, and only C is the statement that fits with that.
