Given the Linear Correlation Coefficient R and the Sample Size $r = - 0.853 , n = 5$

question 74

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 correlation. Use a significance level of 0.05.
- $r = - 0.853 , n = 5$

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