Question:

Using the data from Exercise 5 "Brain Volume and IQ," the linear correlation coefficient is r = 0.127.
Data From Exercise 5

Use Table 2-11 on page 71 to find the critical values of r. Based on a comparison of the linear correlation coefficient r and the critical values, what do you conclude about a linear correlation?
