A sample product moment correlation coefficient is r=0.58r=0.58r=0.58. For a one-tailed test at the 5% significance level, the critical value is 0.6215 when n=9n=9n=9 and 0.5494 when n=12n=12n=12.
State the conclusion if n=9n=9n=9.
State the conclusion if n=12n=12n=12.
Explain why the conclusions can differ although r r\,r is unchanged.
