The correlation is a significant non-zero value.
The number of samples is n.
n = 25
The correlation of the coefficient is r.
r = -0.40
When correlation is significant,
[tex]H _{0} : p = 0[/tex]
When correlation is non-zero,
[tex]H _{ \alpha } : p ≠0[/tex]
The test statistic is,
[tex]TS = \frac{r \times \sqrt{n - 2} }{ \sqrt{1 - r {}^{2} } } [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{0.4 \times \sqrt{25 - 2} }{ \sqrt{1 - ( - 0.4) ^{2} } } [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{ - 1.918 }{ \sqrt{0.84} } [/tex]
= -2.093
The test statistic is -2.093.
The correlation is,
[tex]H _{ \alpha } : - 2.93 ≠0[/tex]
The correlation is not equal to zero and is significant.
Therefore, the correlation is a significant non-zero value.
