Person Dexterity Anxiety

1 1 10
2 1 8
3 2 4
4 4 _2

c) figure the correlation coefficient;

d) figure whether the correlation is statistically significant(use the .05 significance level, two-tailed);
t needed (df = 2 p .05) =
r =
t =

Decision: reject the null hypothesis or do not reject the null hypothesis

Key:
t needed = cut-off score that establishes the region of rejection (also known as the critical value) both groups
r = score that represents the correlation coefficient
t = score that determines the significance of the correlation coefficient score
