The pearson correlation is calculated for a sample of n = 25 individuals. what value of df should be used to determine whether or not the correlation is significant?

Sagot :

The correlation is a significant non-zero value.

The number of samples is n.

n = 25

The correlation of the coefficient is r.

r = -0.40

When correlation is significant,

[tex]H _{0} : p = 0[/tex]

When correlation is non-zero,

[tex]H _{ \alpha } : p ≠0[/tex]

The test statistic is,

[tex]TS = \frac{r \times \sqrt{n - 2} }{ \sqrt{1 - r {}^{2} } } [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{0.4 \times \sqrt{25 - 2} }{ \sqrt{1 - ( - 0.4) ^{2} } } [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{ - 1.918 }{ \sqrt{0.84} } [/tex]

= -2.093

The test statistic is -2.093.

The correlation is,

[tex]H _{ \alpha } : - 2.93 ≠0[/tex]

The correlation is not equal to zero and is significant.

Therefore, the correlation is a significant non-zero value.
