What type of correlation/association exists?
1 answer:
Answer:
Negative Correlation
Step-by-step explanation:
there is a negative correlation between the number of hours you sleep in and the number of hours you are awake during the day as the longer you are either awake or asleep the less time you will be doing the other thing
Here is a graph I made that will hopefully help you understand.
Even if I switched around the label for the x or y-axis, the correlation would still remain the same because the more you stay asleep, the less you will be awake and vice versa.

Solution
Hypotheses:
- The population mean is 132. In order to test the claim that the mean is 132, we should check for if the mean is not 132.
- Thus, the Hypotheses are:
Test statistic:
- The test statistic has to be a t-statistic because the sample size (n) is less than 30.
- The formula for finding the t-statistic is:
- Applying the formula, we have:
Critical value:
- The critical value t-critical, is gotten by reading off the t-distribution table.
- For this, we need the degrees of freedom (df) which is gotten by the formula:
- And then we also use the significance level of 0.1 and the fact that it is a two-tailed test to trace out the t-critical. (Note: significance level of 0.1 implies 10% significance level)
- This is done below:
- The critical value is 1.729
P-value:
- To find the p-value, we simply check the table for where the t-statistic falls.
- The t-statistic given is 1.5747. We simply check which values this falls between in the t-distribution table. It falls between 1.328 and 1.729. We can simply choose a value between 0.1 and 0.05 and multiply the result by 2 since it is a two-tailed test.
- However, we can also use a t-distribution calculator, we have:
- Thus, the p-value is 0.13183
Final Conclusion:
- The p-value is 0.13183, and comparing this to the significance level of 0.1, we can see that 0.13183 is outside the rejection region.
- Thus, the result is not significant and we fail to reject the null hypothesis
