C. Anthony 22.8 34.5
C. Bosh 22.7 38.0
B. Roy 22.6 37.2
A.) Calculate and interpret the sample correlation coefficient between PPG and MPG
B.) Specify the competing hypothesis in order to determine whether the population correlation between PPG and MPG is positive
C.) Calculate the value of the test statistic and corresponding p-value
D.)At the 5% significance level, what is the conclusion to the test? Is the test surprising? Explain
