Which one of the following formulae is used to calculate the standard error of coefficient of correlation between 25 paired observations of a sample ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
For the t-based test of zero population Pearson correlation, the estimated standard error is , with and degrees of freedom. For 25 paired observations, the denominator within the square root is 23. The expression is the conventional large-sample approximation; multiplying it by 0.6745 gives the probable error. The reciprocal square-root expression is not the standard error.
