: A researcher asks people to report how much cranberry juice they consume in a typical month and has them complete an insomnia questionnaire. He finds a correlation between cranberry juice consumption and insomnia of r = -.48, with a sample of n = 16. If the researcher was committed to using a two-tailed test with alpha set at .05, could the researcher conclude that there is a relationship between cranberry juice consumption and insomnia greater than would be expected due to random chance (a statistically significant correlation)? Why or why not?
