  1. 11.2: Correlation Hypothesis Test

    The formula for the test statistic is t = r√n − 2 √1 − r2. The value of the test statistic, t, is shown in the computer or calculator output along with the p-value. The test statistic t has the same sign as the correlation coefficient r. The p-value is the combined area in both tails.

    Let's perform the hypothesis test on the husband's age and wife's age data in which the sample correlation based on n = 170 couples is r = 0.939. To test H 0: ρ = 0 against the alternative H A: ρ ≠ 0, we obtain the following test statistic: t ∗ = r n − 2 1 − R 2 = 0.939 170 − 2 1 − 0.939 2 = 35.39. To obtain the P -value, we need ...

  3. 12.4 Testing the Significance of the Correlation Coefficient

    The correlation coefficient, r, tells us about the strength and direction of the linear relationship between x and y.However, the reliability of the linear model also depends on how many observed data points are in the sample. We need to look at both the value of the correlation coefficient r and the sample size n, together.. We perform a hypothesis test of the "significance of the correlation ...

    The test statistic is: t ∗ = r n − 2 1 − r 2 = ( 0.711) 28 − 2 1 − 0.711 2 = 5.1556. Next, we need to find the p-value. The p-value for the two-sided test is: p-value = 2 P ( T > 5.1556) < 0.0001. Therefore, for any reasonable α level, we can reject the hypothesis that the population correlation coefficient is 0 and conclude that it ...

    The correlation coefficient, r, tells us about the strength and direction of the linear relationship between X 1 and X 2. The sample data are used to compute r, the correlation coefficient for the sample. If we had data for the entire population, we could find the population correlation coefficient. ...

  6. Conducting a Hypothesis Test for the Population Correlation Coefficient

    We follow standard hypothesis test procedures in conducting a hypothesis test for the population correlation coefficient ρ. First, we specify the null and alternative hypotheses: Null hypothesis H0: ρ = 0. Alternative hypothesis HA: ρ ≠ 0 or HA: ρ < 0 or HA: ρ > 0. Second, we calculate the value of the test statistic using the following ...

  7. Testing the Significance of the Correlation Coefficient

    The hypothesis test lets us decide whether the value of the population correlation coefficient ρ is "close to zero" or "significantly different from zero". We decide this based on the sample correlation coefficient r and the sample size n .

  8. Correlation Coefficient

    i. = the difference between the x-variable rank and the y-variable rank for each pair of data. ∑ d2. i. = sum of the squared differences between x- and y-variable ranks. n = sample size. If you have a correlation coefficient of 1, all of the rankings for each variable match up for every data pair.

  9. Hypothesis Test for Correlation

    The hypothesis test lets us decide whether the value of the population correlation coefficient ρ is "close to zero" or "significantly different from zero.". We decide this based on the sample correlation coefficient r and the sample size n. If the test concludes that the correlation coefficient is significantly different from zero, we ...

  10. Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r)

    Revised on February 10, 2024. The Pearson correlation coefficient (r) is the most common way of measuring a linear correlation. It is a number between -1 and 1 that measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. When one variable changes, the other variable changes in the same direction.

  11. Chapter 12.5: Testing the Significance of the Correlation Coefficient

    The hypothesis test lets us decide whether the value of the population correlation coefficient ρ is "close to zero" or "significantly different from zero". We decide this based on the sample correlation coefficient r and the sample size n .

    Performing the Hypothesis Test. Null hypothesis: H 0: ρ = 0. Alternate hypothesis: H a: ρ ≠ 0. What the Hypothesis Means in Words: Null hypothesis H 0: The population correlation coefficient is not significantly different from zero. There is not a significant linear relationship (correlation) between x and y in the population.; Alternate hypothesis H a: The population correlation ...

  13. Interpreting Correlation Coefficients

    That description matches our moderate correlation coefficient of 0.694. For the hypothesis test, our p-value equals 0.000. This p-value is less than any reasonable significance level. ... On the other hand, the hypothesis test of Pearson's correlation coefficient does assume that the data follow a bivariate normal distribution. If you want to ...

  14. Hypothesis Testing: Correlations

    We perform a hypothesis test of the "significance of the correlation coefficient" to decide whether the linear relationship in the sample data is strong enough to use to model the relationship in the population. The hypothesis test lets us decide whether the value of the population correlation coefficient. \rho ρ.

    Step 3: Calculate the Test Statistic and P-Value. Next, we can use the following formulas to calculate the test statistic and the corresponding p-value: The test statistic turns out to be 4.27124 and the corresponding p-value is 0.001634. Since this p-value is less than .05, we have sufficient evidence to say that the correlation between the ...
