A teacher believes that the third homework assignment
A teacher believes that the third homework assignment is a key predictor
in how well students will do on the midterm. Let x represent the third homework score and y the midterm exam score. A random sample of last terms students were selected and their grades are shown below. Assume scores are normally distributed.

Based on the data in the table, is there a significant linear relationship between HW3 and the Midterm grade?
– A. Cannot determine
– B. Yes, because the p-value = 0.0000
– C. No, because the p-value = 0.0000
– D. Yes, because the p-value = 0.05
