Not sure what the answer is. Need help.


A collection of paired data consists of the number of years that students have studied Spanish and their scores on a Spanish language proficiency test. A computer program was used to obtain the least squares linear regression line and the computer output is shown below. Along with the paired sample data, the program was also given an x value of 2 (years of study) to be used for predicting test score.

Equation: y = mx + b

Statistics:

r2 = 0.83
r = 0.91
Parameters:

m = 10.90
b = 31.55
Answer the following questions based on the information given above.

Use the information in the display to find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r. Determine whether there is significant linear correlation between years of study and test scores. Use a significance level of 0.05. There are 10 pairs of data.

A. r = 0.91; There is significant linear correlation.

B. r = 0.83; There is significant linear correlation.

C. r = 0.91; There is no significant linear correlation

D. r = 0.83; There is no significant linear correlation.
