A hypothesis test is conducted at the .05 level of significance to test whether or not the population correlation is zero. If th

e sample consists of 25 observations and the correlation coefficient is 0.60, then what is the computed value of the test statistic?

Answer:

Th computed value of the test statistic is 3.597

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and the alternative hypothesis is as follows:

Null Hypothesis:

\mathbf{H_o:} the population correlation coefficient is equal to zero

\mathbf{H_a:} the population correlation coefficient is not equal to zero

The test statistics for Pearson correlation coefficient is thus computed as :

t =\dfrac{r \sqrt{(n-2)}} { \sqrt{(1-(r)^2)} }

where;

r = correlation coefficient = 0.60

n = sample size = 25

So;

t =\dfrac{0.60 \sqrt{(25-2)}} { \sqrt{(1-(0.60)^2)} }

t =\dfrac{0.60 \sqrt{(23)}} { \sqrt{(1-0.36} }

t =\dfrac{0.60 *4.796} {0.8}

t = 3.597

Comparing to a critical value of t (23 degrees of freedom two-tailed value) = 2.069

Decision Rule:

Since computed value of t is greater than the critical value of t; We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.

Conclusion:

We conclude that the population correlation coefficient significantly differs from 0 at 5% (0.05) level of significance.

Write a quadratic equation given the roots -1/3 and 5, show your work
Travka [436]

\boxed{(x - a)(x - b) = 0}

The equation above is the intercept form. Both a-term and b-term are the roots of equation.

x =  -  \frac{1}{3}  \\ x = 5

These are the roots of equation. Therefore we substitute a = - 1/3 and b = 5 in the equation.

(x +  \frac{1}{3} )(x -  5) = 0

Here we can convert the expression x+1/3 to this.

x +  \frac{1}{3}  = 0 \\  3x + 1 = 0

Rewrite the equation.

(3x + 1)(x - 5) = 0

Simplify by multiplying both expressions.

3 {x}^{2}  - 15x + x - 5 = 0 \\ 3 {x}^{2}  - 14x  - 5 = 0

<u>Answer</u><u> </u><u>Check</u>

Substitute the given roots in the equation.

3 {(5)}^{2}  - 14(5)  - 5 = 0 \\ 75 - 70 - 5 = 0 \\ 75 - 75 = 0 \\ 0 = 0

3( -  \frac{1}{3} )^{2}  - 14( -  \frac{1}{3}) - 5 = 0 \\ 3( \frac{1}{9} ) +  \frac{14}{3}  - 5 = 0 \\  \frac{1}{3}  +  \frac{14}{3}  -  \frac{15}{3}  = 0 \\  \frac{15}{3}  -  \frac{15}{3}  = 0 \\ 0 = 0

The equation is true for both roots.

<u>Answer</u>

\large \boxed {3 {x}^{2}  - 14x - 5 = 0}
