you believe there is a positive relationship between how many times offenders were arrested as juveniles and how many times they are arrested as adults(e.g. arrested 2 times as a juvenile and 4 times as an adult). To test this, you collect the following data below from 5 people and find your obtained value to be 0.757. Use an alpha of 0.01 to test your hypothesis
The null and alternative hypothesis for the test for the test are,
The test statistic is,
The P-value for the t statistic is obtained from t distribution table for t = 2.007 and degree of freedom = n - 2 = 3
Since the p-value is greater than 0.01 at 1% significance level. The null hypothesis is not rejected. There is no significant relationship between two variable.
