Answer

$r_s\gt 0.521$: null hypothesis is rejected. There is enough evidence to conclude that temperature and number of chirps per second are associated.

Work Step by Step

$H_0: X~and~Y~are~not~associated$ versus $H_1: X~and~Y~are~associated$ See the picture. $∑d_i^2=1+1+9+0+9+9+1+16+12.25+0+1+2.25+9+4+9=83.5$ $r_s=1-\frac{6∑d_i^2}{n(n^2-1)}=1-\frac{6\times83.5}{15(15^2-1)}=0.851$ Critical values = 0.521 and -0.521 (According to Table XIV, for n = 15 and α(2) = 0.05) Since $r_s\gt 0.521$, we reject the null hypothesis.
