A correlation coefficient is a number that indicates the direction in closeness of points of a line of best fit.

So it tells us the direction of the line of best fit and it tells us the closeness to the points of the line of best fit.

Answer: Correct critical value = 2.2622

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population mean when population standard deviation is unknown:

$\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ , where $\overline{x}$ = sample mean, n= sample size, s= sample standard deviation, $t_{\alpha/2}$ = two-tailed t value.

As per given: n= 10

degree of freedom : df = n-1=9

$\overline{x}=242.6\\\\s=73.33\\\\\alpha=5\%=0.05$

Critical t-value : $t_{\alpha/2,df}=t_{0.05/2,9}=t_{0.025,9}=2.2622$

So, the 95 percent confidence interval estimate for the mean :

$242.6\pm (2.2622)\dfrac{73.33}{\sqrt{10}}\\\\=242.6\pm (2.2622)(23.19)\\\\\approx242.6\pm52.46\\\\=(242.6-52.46,\ 242.6+52.46)\\\\=(190.14,\ 295.06)$
