1. Correlation Coefficient

(A) Click the Paste Function-Statistical-Correl

 

(B) Click Paste Function-Statistical-Pearson

 

(C) Click Tools-Data Analysis-Correlation. If Data Analysis does not appear, then click Tools-Add-Ins and click the top two boxes, Analysis Toolpak and Analysis Toolpak-VBA.

 

 

2. Data and Spreadsheet for Hypothesis Testing on the Population Correlation Coefficient, Rho

 

 

3. Two-Tailed Hypothesis Test on the Population Correlation Coefficient, Rho

(A) Table t values. D9 is alpha. D10 is the degrees of freedom. The table t scores found in cell E29 have the following formula:

(B) P-value: D11 is t*. D10 is degrees of freedom. The p-value found in cell E30 is given by the following formula:

(C) Decision: E30 is the p-value. D9 is alpha. The hypothesis decision found in cell E31 has the following formula:

 

4. One Tail (Right) Hypothesis Test on the Population Correlation Coefficient, Rho

(A) Table t value. D9 is alpha. D10 is the degrees of freedom. The table t score found in cell E23 has the following formula:

(B) P-value: D11 is t*. D10 is degrees of freedom. The p-value found in cell E24 is given by the following formula:

(C) Decision: E24 is the p-value. D9 is alpha. The hypothesis decision found in cell E25 has the following formula:

 

5. One Tail (Left) Hypothesis Test on the Population Correlation Coefficient, Rho

(A) Table t value. B18 is alpha. B17 is the degrees of freedom. The table t score found in cell B19 has the following formula: =-TINV(2*B18,B17).

(B) P-value: D15 is t*. D17 is degrees of freedom. The p-value found in cell E15 is given by the following formula: =1-IF(D15<0,1-TDIST(ABS(D15),D17,1),TDIST(ABS(D15),D17,1).

1. Correlation Coefficient

r = S[x - xbar][y - ybar] / [Ö S(x - xbar)²][Ö S(y - ybar)²]

= [S xy - (S x)(S y) / n] / Ö [S x² - (S x)² / n]Ö [S y² - (S y)² / n]

= SCPxy / Ö [SSx ]Ö [SSy ]

(a) SCPxy = [S xy - (S x)(S y) / n])

(b) SSx = [S x²- (S x)² / n]

(c) SSy = [S y²- (S y)² / n]

 

2. t* = r / Ö[(1 - r²) / (n - 2)]

 

3. Two Tail Hypothesis Test on the Correlation Coefficient, r

Ho: r = 0

Ha: r ¹ 0

Reject Ho if |t*| > t a / 2,(n - 2)

FTR(Support) Ho if |t*| £ t a / 2,(n - 2)

 

4. One Tail Hypothesis Test (Right) on the Population Correlation Coefficient, r

Ho: r £ 0

Ha: r > 0

Reject Ho if t* > t a , (n - 2)

FTR(Support) Ho if t* £ t a , (n - 2)

 

 

5. One Tail Hypothesis Test (Left) on the Population Correlation Coefficient, r

Ho: r ³ 0

Ha: r < 0

Reject Ho if t* < - t a ,(n - 2)

FTR(Support) Ho if t* ³ - t a ,(n - 2)
