Researchers theorized that consumers with last names that begin with letters later in the alphabet would tend to acquire items faster than those whose last names begin with letters earlier in the alphabet (that is, the last name effect). Each in a sample of 50 MBA students was offered free tickets to an event for which there was a limited supply of tickets. The first letter of the last name of those who responded to an e-mail offer in time to receive the tickets was noted and given a numerical value (for example, "A" = 1, "B" = 2, etc.). Each student's response time (measured in minutes) was also recorded. Complete parts a through c below. a. The researchers computed the correlation between the two variables as r= - 0.246. Interpret this result. Since r is and there is relationship between a student's last name position and response time. b. The observed significance level for testing for a negative correlation in the population was reported as p-value = 0.050. Interpret this result for a = 0.01. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test, where p is the population correlation coefficient. OA. Ho: P=0 Ha: P 0 O C. Hop=0 Hai P# 0 OD. Ho: P
