In Chapter 13, as a class, you computed the correlation between extraversion and status striving with the above calculator. Report the correlation here ______.

Now, using the same data and correlation coefficient calculator: compute the approximate 95% confidence interval around the correlation coefficient. Next, for the confidence intervals you just computed, test H₀: r = 0 against the alternative hypothesis H₁: r ≠ 0, assuming α = .05.

In Chapter 13, as a class, you computed the correlation between extraversions and life satisfaction with the above calculator. Report the correlation here ______.

Now, using the same data and correlation coefficient calculator: compute the approximate 95% confidence interval around the correlation coefficient. Next, for the confidence intervals you just computed, test H₀: r = 0 against the alternative hypothesis H₁: r ≠ 0, assuming α = .05.

Think of a simple question that you can post on social media to determine if you network differs from the general population

Using that simple question you asked your friends through social media back in Chapter 13, compute the approximate 95% confidence interval around the correlation coefficient. Next, for the confidence intervals you just computed, test H₀: r = 0 against the alternative hypothesis H₁: r ≠ 0, assuming α = .05.
