Question

A mad scientist is interested in seeing if there is a relationship between the number of nights until the full moon (X) and the number of Werewolves (Y) that are caught by his assistant Igor. For the data below, compute a Pearson correlation (r) hypothesis test. Because one is not particularly cautious with mad science, the mad scientist is using a two-tailed test, α = .05. Be sure to show all work.
