Question

hw to test homogeneity of correlation coefficeint based on sample sizes​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient, r, tells us about the strength and direction of the linear relationship between X1 and X2.

The sample data are used to compute r, the correlation coefficient for the sample. If we had data for the entire population, we could find the population correlation coefficient. But because we have only sample data, we cannot calculate the population correlation coefficient. The sample correlation coefficient, r, is our estimate of the unknown population correlation coefficient.

ρ = population correlation coefficient (unknown)

r = sample correlation coefficient (known; calculated from sample data)

The hypothesis test lets us decide whether the value of the population correlation coefficient ρ is “close to zero” or “significantly different from zero”. We decide this based on the sample correlation coefficient r and the sample size n.
