y

x

(2) Formulate null and research hypotheses that can be tested adequately using a correlation

analysis.

H0: ______________________________________ (p=0)

H1: ______________________________________ (p=0)

(3) If the computed t value is in the rejection region (r=.97, p<.05), can you reject the null hypothesis at the p<.05 level of significance? Why? Show your work for t test.

Q2. Design a media effects study for which a correlation analysis is appropriate.
