Davina 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 40 people and obtains r=−0.289r = -0.289r=−0.289

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

State clearly
