A researcher was interested in determining if higher levels of job satisfaction correlated with lower levels of job-related stress. She collected data on both variables from a group of 20 employees and her findings produced an observed score of r = -.549. 1 State an appropriate research question for this correlation (one sentence only). 2 State the null hypothesis in statistical syntax 3 State the alternate hypothesis in statistical syntax 4 State the degrees of freedom as df = ? 5 Is this hypothesis test directional or non-directional? Is the test positive or negative? 6 State the r-critical for an alpha of .05 7 State the r-critical for an alpha of .01 8 State the decision in words in the format as "Reject the Null" or "Fail to Reject the Null" 9 State the results in statistical syntax in the formate as r (8) = .733, p<.01 10 Were these findings statistically significant? Yes or No

Scenario: A researcher was interested in determining if higher levels of job satisfaction correlated with lower levels of job-related stress. She collected data on both variables from a group of 20 employees and her findings produced an observed score of r = -.549. Which of the following is the correct expression of the Null hypothesis? Which of the following is the correct expression of the Alternate hypothesis? Which of the following is the correct degrees of freedom for this study?

Scenario: A researcher was interested in testing a correlation between the number of hours spent engaging in aerobic exercise and endurance levels. She collected data on both variables from a group of 10 subjects and her findings produced an observed score of r = .733. 1. State an appropriate research question for this correlation A: Are the number of hours spent engaging in aerobic exercise positively related to endurance levels? 2. State the null hypothesis in statistical syntax H0: P = 0 3. State the alternate hypothesis in statistical syntax H1: r > 0 4. State the degrees of freedom as df = ? df = 8 5. Is this hypothesis test directional or non-directional? directional 6. State the r-critical for an alpha of .05 r-crit = .549 7. State the r-critical for an alpha of .01 r-crit = .716 8. State the decision in words Reject the null 9. State the results in statistical syntax r (8) = .733, p < .01 10. Were these findings statistically significant? Yes or No Yes
