- Cryptocurrencies have rapidly become an important alternative to traditional currencies for many types of transactions. Etherium, one of the most prominent cryptocurrencies, has rapidly appreciated in value. Daily Etherium trading information for the first 332 days of 2021. It includes the following variables: Date Day – Day of the year, used to assess trend over time Volume (US $) – Daily trading volume Opening Price (US $) – Opening price for daily trading Price Change (US $) – Daily change in price from opening to close 1. Determine the sample correlation coefficient, r, between Volume and Price Change. Test the alternative hypothesis that Volume has a linear relationship to Price Change. Specifically, what are the test statistic and the p-value for that test statistic? For α = .05, what do you conclude about the relationship between the variables?
