Refer to Exercise 15.62. Do the data present sufficient evidence to indicate that the correlation between interview rankings and test scores is less than zero? If this evidence does exist, can you say that tests can be used to reduce the number of interviews?
Exercise 15.62
A large corporation selects college graduates for employment using both interviews and a psychological achievement test. Interviews conducted at the home office of the company are far more expensive than the tests that can be conducted on campus. Consequently, the personnel office was interested in determining whether the test scores were correlated with interview ratings and whether tests could be substituted for interviews. The idea was not to eliminate interviews but to reduce their number. To determine whether the measures were correlated, 10 prospects were ranked during interviews and tested. The paired scores are as listed here:
