Question

(b) compute the value of the correlation coefficient. round your answer to at least three decimal places.
$r = 0.604$
correct answer
$r=-0.769$
part: 2 / 5
part 3 of 5
(c) state the hypotheses.
$h_0 : \square$
$h_1 : \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify correct correlation value

The problem provides the correct answer for part (b) as \(r = -0.769\).

Step2: State standard correlation hypotheses

For testing a correlation coefficient, the null hypothesis assumes no linear correlation (\(
ho = 0\)), and the alternative hypothesis assumes a linear correlation (\(
ho
eq 0\)) for a two-tailed test.

Answer:

For part (b): -0.769
For part (c): \(H_0:
ho = 0\), \(H_1:
ho
eq 0\) (assuming a two-tailed test, standard for correlation hypothesis testing)
