The heights (in inches) of a sample of eight mother/daughter pairs of subjects were measured. Using a spreadsheet with the paired mother/daughter heights, the linear correlation coefficient is found to be 0.693. Find the critical value, assuming a 0.05 significance level. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the heights of mothers and the heights of their daughters?
A. Critical value = ± 0.666; there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between heights of mothers and heights of their daughters.
B. Critical value = ± 0.707; there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between heights of mothers and heights of their daughters.
C. Critical value =± 0.666; there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between heights of mothers and heights of their daughters.
D. Critical value =± 0.707; there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between heights of mothers and heights of their daughters.

Answer:

D. Critical value =± 0.707; there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between heights of mothers and heights of their daughters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Correlation Coefficient, r = 0.693

The sample size, n = 8

The degree of freedom used for linear correlation :

df = n - 2

df = 8 - 2 = 6

Using a critical value calculator for correlation Coefficient at α = 0.05

The critical value obtained is : 0.707

The test statistic :

T = r / √(1 - r²) / (n - 2)

T = 0.693 / √(1 - 0.693²) / (8 - 2)

T = 0.693 / 0.2943215

T = 2.354

Since ;

Test statistic < Critical value ; we fail to reject the null and conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between heights of mothers and heights of their daughters.
