Question

A sample contains 61 pairs of values. Find the critical value for the linear correlation coefficient from Table A-6 corresponding to a 0.05 significance level.

0.236

0.254

0.279

0.330

Answer 1

0.254

Explanation:

Table A-6 will be shown below for reference. Since none of the answer choices contain the critical value for 61, we can just round that number to 60. We will see that the critical value is 0.254. If you're having trouble reading the table below, look at the columns to find the corresponding significance level you are working with then find the sample value.

Best of Luck!
