When an anthropologist finds skeletal remains, they need to figure out the height of the person. The height of a person (in cm) and the length of their metacarpal bone 1 (in mm) were collected and are in the table. Test at the 10% level for a positive correlation between length of metacarpal bone one and height of a person. Data of Metacarpal versus Height Length of Height of Metacarpal Person (mm) (cm) 42 166 48 170 44 171 43 167 47 177 51 183 40 160 41 167 45 162 State the hypotheses. Ho: PO Ha P 1x 0 Calculate the standardized test statistic, t. t=-1.3355 Calculate the p-value. p-value = 0.223 x State your decision. Since the p-value 0.10, reject Ho- Interpret your decision in context of the problem. There is enough evidence to show that there is a significant Xcorrelation between length of metacarpal bone one and height of a person.
