Given the linear correlation coefficient r and the sample size n, determine the critical values of r and use your finding to state whether or not the given r represents a significant linear correlation. Use a significance level of 0.05. r = 0.767 , n = 25

a. Critical values: r = ± 0.396, no significant linear correlation
b. Critical values: r = ± 0.487 , no significant linear correlation
c. Critical values: r = ± 0.396 , significant linear correlation
d. Critical values: r = ± 0.487 , significant linear correlation

Given:
γ = 0.767
n = 25
α = 0.05

The critical value γ at α = 0.05 is ± 0.396
And the observed correlation value is 0.767

The observed correlation value is greater than the critical value. Thus, there is a significant linear relationship occurs between the variables.
Hence, the correct option is (c)
