Question 15

Maya wants to test to see if there is a correlation between the number of letters in someone's name and their salary.

She calculates the product moment correlation coefficient between these two variables for a random sample of 50 people and obtains r=−0.198r = -0.198r=−0.198

Carry out a suitable test to investigate Maya's belief at a 5% level of significance.
