test the null hypothesis that the two variables are independent. Use an alpha level of .05, and state each step of your hypothesis test. If you reject the null hypothesis, how strong are two variables related

Consider the following competing hypotheses: H0: ρxy = 0 HA: ρxy ≠ 0 The sample consists of 26 observations and the sample correlation coefficient is 0.69. [You may find it useful to reference the t table.] a-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 3 decimal places.) Test statistic a-2. Find the p-value. p-value ≥ 0.10 0.05 ≤ p-value < 0.10 0.02 ≤ p-value < 0.05 0.01 ≤ p-value < 0.02 p-value < 0.01 b. At the 5% significance level, what is the conclusion to the test? Do not reject H0; we cannot state the variables are correlated. Reject H0; we cannot state the variables are correlated. Do not reject H0; we can state the variables are correlated. Reject H0; we can state the variables are correlated.

The two variables have a correlation coefficient equal to - 0.60 from a sample size of 6. Perform a hypothesis test to determine if the population correlation coefficient p is greater than zero using a = 0.05. (1) Identify null / alternative hypotheses. (2) Determine the test statistic. (3) Determine the critical value. (4) State your conclusion.
