Question 18

A scientist suspects there is a positive correlation between the concentration of a certain nutrient in soil and the height of the plants grown in it.

He calculates the product moment correlation coefficient for a random sample of 12 plants and obtains r=0.468r = 0.468r=0.468.

Carry out a suitable test to investigate the scientist's suspicion at a 5% level of significance.

State clearly

  • your hypotheses
  • your critical value
