Guest Jar Jar D'oh! Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hey! I have a maths exemplar in which the fellow wrote a rejection equation, null hypotheses, alternate hypotheses and even working at a 95% confidence for PEARSON's correlation coefficient. This is highly unusual, because this is usually done for the chi-squared test a completely different stats test!? Should I do it? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Glau Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 There shouldnt be any hypothesis for the pearson's. It's just a way to quantify the correlation in the data. Giving you a number to describe how tightly connected the data points are. The only hypothesis you could use is that they do/do not have a correlation and then the number you calculate would prove/disprove the hypothesis.
