g. Compute the Pearson correlation (r)
h. What proportion of variability in Y scores can be predicted from the relationship with X? (hint: remember the coefficient of determination)
i. Based on your results, would we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis about a relationship between these two variables (two-tailed, α= 0.05)?
j. From these observations, can we conclude that hours spent watching reality T.V.causedincreases in headaches? Why or why not?
