Solution Steps

To determine if the value of \( r \) is significant, we need to compare it to the critical value for the given degrees of freedom (df). The degrees of freedom can be calculated as \( n - 2 \). We then check if \( r \) is between the positive and negative critical values. If it is, \( r \) is not significant; otherwise, it is significant.

Step 1: Calculate Degrees of Freedom

Given \( n = 42 \), the degrees of freedom (df) is calculated as: \[ \text{df} = n - 2 = 42 - 2 = 40 \]

Step 2: Determine the Critical Value

From the provided critical values table, the critical value for \( \text{df} = 40 \) is: \[ \text{CV} = 0.304 \]

Step 3: Compare \( r \) with Critical Values

Given \( r = -0.235 \), we compare \( r \) with the critical values \( \pm 0.304 \): \[ -0.304 < r < 0.304 \] Since \( -0.304 < -0.235 < 0.304 \), \( r \) is between the positive and negative critical values.

Final Answer

\( r \) is not significant because it is between the positive and negative critical values.

\[ \boxed{\text{r is not significant because it is between the positive and negative critical values.}} \]
