What does ρ\rho represent in hypothesis testing for correlation?

Population correlation coefficient

What is always the null hypothesis in correlation hypothesis testing?

H0:ρ=0H_0: \rho = 0

For testing positive correlation, what is the alternative hypothesis?

H1:ρ>0H_1: \rho > 0

What alternative hypothesis tests for correlation in either direction?

H1:ρ0H_1: \rho \neq 0

What must rr be compared with to make a decision?

Critical values from tables

Critical values depend on which two factors?

Sample size nn and significance level

For positive correlation test, when do you reject H0H_0?

When r>r > critical value

What is the conclusion when rejecting H0H_0?

Sufficient evidence of correlation

If r=0.85r = 0.85, critical value =0.88= 0.88, testing H1:ρ>0H_1: \rho > 0, what is the decision?

Do not reject H0H_0

For H1:ρ0H_1: \rho \neq 0, when is H0H_0 rejected?

When r|r| exceeds critical value
