An economist is interested in studying the relationship between length of unemployment and job-seeking activity among white-collar workers. He interviews a sample of 12 unemployed accountants as to the number of weeks they have been unemployed (X) and seeking a job during the past year (Y). Compute a Pearson€™s correlation coefficient for these data and determine whether the correlation is significant.
