The correlation between two variables is -0.63 for a sample of 20 observations. We wish to show there is an inverse relationship between the two variables. Use the .05 significance level. Which of the following is a correct statement of the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis?

Multiple Choice

• H₀: rho <= 0 H_1: rho > 0

• H₀: rho = 0 H₁: rho > 0

• H₀: rho >= 0 H₁: rho < 0

• An inverse relationship would be a negative relationship. As X increases, Y decreases. As such the correct hypothesis should have the H₁ with a less than (negative) symbol.
