A study of 26 worldwide financial institutions showed the correlation between their assets and pretax profit to be .87.
| 1. | State the decision rule for .025 significance level: H0: 0; H1: > 0 (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) | 
Solution
Test For correlation co-efficient
 Set Up Hypothesis
 Null, H0:  <0
 Alternate, H1: >=0
 Test Statistic
 Value of ( r ) =0.87
 Number (n)=26
 we use Test Statistic (t) = r / Sqrt(1-r^2/(n-2))
 to=0.87/(Sqrt( ( 1-0.87^2 )/(26-2) )
 to =8.644
 |to | =8.644
 Critical Value
 The Value of |t | at LOS 0.025% is 2.064
 We got |to| =8.644 & | t  | =2.064
 Make Decision
 Hence Value of | to | > | t | and Here we Reject Ho
ANS:
 1.Reject H0 if t > 2.064
 2. to =8.644
