The following scatterplot shows the percentage of the vote a candidate received in the 2016 senatorial elections
according to the voter's income level based on an exit poll of voters conducted by a news agency. The income
levels 1-8 correspond to the following income classes:
1 = Under $15,000; 2 = $15-30,000; 3 = $30-50,000; 4 = $50-75,000; 5 = $75-100,000;
6 = $100-150,000; 7 = $150-200,000; 8 = $200,000 or more.
Use the election scatterplot to the find the critical values corresponding to a 0.01 significance level used to test
the null hypothesis of ρs = 0.
A) -0.881 and 0.881
B) -0.881
C) -0.738 and 0.738
D) 0.881

Sagot :

The critical values corresponding to a 0.01 significance level used to test the null hypothesis of ρs = 0 is (a) -0.881 and 0.881

How to determine the critical values corresponding to a 0.01 significance level?

The scatter plot of the election is added as an attachment

From the scatter plot, we have the following highlights

  • Number of paired observations, n = 8
  • Significance level = 0.01

Start by calculating the degrees of freedom (df) using

df =n - 2

Substitute the known values in the above equation

df = 8 - 2

Evaluate the difference

df = 6

Using the critical value table;

At a degree of freedom of 6 and significance level of 0.01, the critical value is

z = 0.834

From the list of given options, 0.834 is between  -0.881 and 0.881

Hence, the critical values corresponding to a 0.01 significance level used to test the null hypothesis of ρs = 0 is (a) -0.881 and 0.881
