Identifying individuals with a high risk of Alzheimer’s disease usually involves a long series of cognitive tests. However, researchers have developed a 7-Minute Screen, which is a quick and easy way to accomplish the same goal. The question is whether the 7-Minute Screen is as effective as the complete series of tests. To address this question, Ijuin et al. (2008) administered both tests to a group of patients and compared the results. The following data represent results similar to those obtained in the study.

c.) The alternative hypothesis in words for a two-tailed test is
d.)If we use a two-tailed test with  α = .01, the critical r values are:
Group of answer choices
±0.833
±0.874
±0.754
±0.669
 
e.)Your decision is:

-Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant correlation between the scores on the 7-minute screen test and the scores on the cognitive series
-Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant correlation between the scores on the 7-minute screen test and the scores on the cognitive series
-Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no significant correlation between the scores on the 7-minute screen test and the scores on the cognitive series
-Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no significant correlation between the scores on the 7-minute screen test and the scores on the cognitive series
 
f.) Report the results in APA
