Question

A 0.01 significance level is being used to test a correlation between two variables. If the linear correlation coefficient r is found to be 0.591 and the critical values are r ​0.590, what can you​ conclude?

Answer 1

Answer:

There is sufficient evidence that there is linear  correlation between two variable

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told

   The significance level is  $\alpha = 0.01$

   The critical value  is  $a = 0.590$

   The  test statistics is  $r = 0.591$(linear correlation coefficient )

Now  from the data given in the value we see that

     $r > a$ so  the null hypothesis is rejected

Hence the conclusion is that there is  sufficient evidence that there is linear   correlation between two variable
