Compute correlation between two variable by hypothesis test

Reference no: EM13111848

Your statistics teacher has repeatedly told class that more you study, the better you will do on tests. You make decision to verify this statement. You arbitarily choose 12 classmates and ask them how long they studied for last test and what grade they made. Here are the data:

Student Hours studied   Grade
1               17                  91
2               12              73
3    8                   70
4               14                  86
5               10                  71
6               3                    62
7               20    87
8 11                  76
9                7                   68
10    16                 84
11               9                  66
12              15                 83
