question 17

Multiple Choice

Given the linear correlation coefficient r and the sample size n, determine the critical values of_ r and use your finding to state whether or not the given r represents a significant linear

• A) Critical values: \(r = \pm 0.878\), significant linear correlation
• B) Critical values: \(r = \pm 0.878\), no significant linear correlation
• C) Critical values: \(r = 0.950\), significant linear correlation
• D) Critical values: \(r = \pm 0.950\), no significant linear correlation
