Note: To test H subscript 0: rho equals 0 against H subscript 1: rho not equal to 0, reject H subscript 0 if the absolute value of r is greater than the critical value in the table.
b. Find the linear correlation coefficient, r, then determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between the two variables.
The linear correlation coefficient is requals=enter your response here.
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Solution
import numpy as np import pandas as pd from scipy.stats import pearsonr
Given data
x = np.array([10, 8, 13, 9, 11, 14, 6, 4, 12, 7, 5]) y = np.array([9.14, 8.13, 8.75, 8.76, 9.26, 8.09, 6.14, 3.09, 9.13, 7.26, 4.73])
Calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient
r, _ = pearsonr(x, y)
r0.81622697327418330.8162269732741833successThe linear correlation coefficient, , is approximately .
Next, we need to determine whether this correlation is statistically significant. Would you like to proceed with the hypothesis testing?
