Question

A high school teacher hypothesizes a negative relationship between performance in exams and performance in presentations. To examine this, the teacher computes a correlation of -0.62 from a random sample of 30 students from class. What can the teacher conclude with an α of 0.01?

a) Compute the appropriate test statistic(s) to make a decision about H₀.
(Hint: Make sure to write down the null and alternative hypotheses to help solve the problem.)
critical value =  ; test statistic =  
Decision:  ---Select--- Reject H0 Fail to reject H0

b) Compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s).
If not appropriate, input and/or select "na" below.
effect size =  ;   ---Select--- na trivial effect small effect medium effect large effect

c) Make an interpretation based on the results.

There is a significant positive relationship between performance in exams and performance in presentations.There is a significant negative relationship between performance in exams and performance in presentations.    There is no significant relationship between performance in exams and performance in presentations.
