Exam 14: Introduction to Linear Regression and Correlation Analysis

Recently,an automobile insurance company performed a study of a random sample of 15 of its customers to determine if there is a positive relationship between the number of miles driven and the age of the driver.The sample correlation coefficient is r = .38.Given this information,and assuming that the test is to be performed at the .05 level of significance,which of the following is the correct test statistic?
