    It is assumed that the correlation between two tests X and Y that both measure intelligence is 0.80. In a random sample of n = 50 individuals, one finds RXY = 0.71. Based on this result, the null hypothesis ρXY = 0.80 can be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis ρXY < 0.80 at


    1. FALSE: Α = 0.01
    2. FALSE: Α = 0.05 but not at α = 0.01
    3. TRUE: Α = 0.10 but not at α = 0.05

    1. Α = 0.01: Incorrect
    2. Α = 0.05 but not at α = 0.01: Incorrect
    3. Α = 0.10 but not at α = 0.05: Correct
