Perform the Required Correlation Test $$\begin{array} { l | l l l } x & 3 & 2 & 4 \\ \hline y & 8 & 4 & 6 \end{array} \quad \mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { a } } : \text { Q } > 0$$

Essay

Perform the required correlation test. You may presume that the assumptions for regression inferences are met.
-Decide, at the 10% significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis. $$\begin{array} { l | l l l } x & 3 & 2 & 4 \\ \hline y & 8 & 4 & 6 \end{array} \quad \mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { a } } : \text { Q } > 0$$
