   Question

   The null hypothesis used in hypothesis testing with the Pearson correlation is:

   
   
   1. TRUE: the correlation is 0 in the population
   2. FALSE: the correlation is not equal to 0 in the sample
   3. FALSE: the correlation is not equal to 0 in the population
   4. FALSE: the correlation is 0 in the sample
   
   

   Solution

   Hypotheses always revolve around the population, not your sample. And a null hypothesis expects no effect/difference/relation.
