State the statistical assumptions for this test.

There are no such assumptions if we want to describe the relationship or strength of relationship between two variables using correlation coefficient. However some general assumptions are given below for testing the correlation coefficient using t test or F test:

1. The data should be approximates the normal normally distribution for both the variables.
2. The joint distribution for both the variables (say X and Y) should be bivariate normal.
3. The variance for conditional distribution of X|Y (X given Y) as well as Y|X (Y given X) should be constant.
4. The relationship between these two variable should be linear because correlation does not take into consider any non-linear relationship.

Using the data set you have selected, choose two continuous variables for which you would like to test a relationship.

Variables chosen for the test a relationship:

HRS1 -> NUMBER OF HOURS WORKED LAST WEEK
AGE -> AGE OF RESPONDENT

Develop the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis.

Null Hypothesis (Ho): There is no statistically significant linear relationship between Age of respondent and number of hours of worked last week or there is no significant correlation between Age of respondent and number of hours of worked last ...
