IN VER IFICAT ION O F THE SIGNI FICA NCE CRITE RION OF TH E SAM IPLE L INEAR CORR ELATIO N COE FFIC IENT, T HE CRITIC AL ARE A OF Select one: two sided right sided equal sided left sided

The correct answer is: right sided.<br /><br />In the verification of the significance criterion of the sample linear correlation coefficient, the critical area is determined based on the significance level. The critical area is the region in the distribution of the test statistic where the null hypothesis is rejected. In this case, the critical area is right sided, meaning that the null hypothesis is rejected if the test statistic falls to the right of the critical value.
