A sample of n = 353 college faculty members was obtained, and the values of x = teaching evaluation index and y = annual raise were determined (“Determination of Faculty Pay: An Agency Theory Perspective,” Academy of Management Journal [1992]: 921– 955). The resulting value of r was .11. Does there appear to be a linear association between these variables in the population from which the sample was selected? Carry out a test of hypothesis using a significance level of .05. Does the conclusion surprise you? Explain.
