You predict that the average number of hours spent viewing TV each evening after 6:00pm is inversely (negatively) related to educational level. You select 11 adults at random and determine their years of education and the mean number of hours spent watching TV per evening. You obtain the scores below. Test the researcher's hypothesis that there is a negative relationship between hours spent watching TV and educational level.

r = -.44, p > .05
r = -.42, p < .05
r = .44, p > .05
r = .59, p > .05
r (10) = .23, p < .05
