1

Read the demonstration directions and then click on "Exercise" and then the word "Begin" in the left corner of the screen. The applet will open. With the applet open, follow the directions for the exercises. These exercises are good practice to help you understand correlated t Tests. Based on these exercises, what is the relationship between the size of r and the value of correlated t? Explain your answer.
