define the steps needed to evaluate the continuous response and continuous explanatory variable research question and perform the appropriate hypothesis test with SPSS. explicitly show all five steps and consider any necessary assumptions that were discussed in the lecture. These steps are:

1. Define the parameter of interest,
2. State the hypotheses,
3. Determine the test statistic and p-value considering any necessary assumptions,
4. Decide whether to reject or not reject the null hypothesis,
5. Clearly state a conclusion in the context of the problem.

Now apply these steps.
