Test at the 5% level for a positive correlation between house value and rental amount.  

(i) Which of the following statements correctly define both the null hypothesis HO and the alternate hypothesis HA ?

A.     HO :  ? > 0   HA :  ? = 0

B.   HO :  ? = 0   HA :  ? > 0

C.   HO :  ? = 0   HA :  ? < 0

D.     none of these answers are correct

(ii) Enter the level of significance ? used for this test, and the degrees of freedom df:

Enter level of significance in decimal form to nearest hundredth, followed by comma, followed by degrees of freedom value to nearest integer. Do not enter spaces.

Examples of correctly entered answers:  0.01,4    0.02,11    0.05,13    0.10,46

(iii)   Use technology to determine correlation coefficient r between independent variable (house value) and dependent variable (annual rental income)

Enter in decimal form to nearest ten-thousandth with sign (positive or negative). Examples of correctly entered answers:

-0.0001    +0.0020    -0.0500    +0.3000    +0.7115

(vi) Comparing p-value and ? value, which is the correct decision to make for this hypothesis test?

A. Reject Ho

B. Fail to reject Ho

C. Accept Ho

D. Accept HA

Enter letter corresponding to correct answer.

(vii) Select the statement that most correctly interprets the result of this test:

A. The result is statistically significant at .05 level of significance. Evidence supports the claim that there is a positive correlation between house value and rental amount.

B. The result is statistically significant at .05 level of significance. There is not enough evidence to show that there is a positive correlation between house value and rental amount.

C. The result is not statistically significant at .05 level of significance. Evidence supports the claim that there is a positive correlation between house value and rental amount.

D. The result is not statistically significant at .05 level of significance.   There is not enough evidence to show that there is a positive correlation between house value and rental amount.
