Question 40

Will sells cars. He thinks there is a positive correlation between the price of a car and its mileage.

He calculates the product moment correlation coefficient between these two variables for a random sample of 15 cars and obtains $r = 0.455$

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

State clearly
