Using Table 1-9 in the book, does a linear correlation coefficient r = 0.95 for n = 5 data points indicate a statistically significant linear relationship between the x and y variables?

A correlation r = 1 is a perfect fit, with the straight line passing exactly through each data point.The closer r is to 1, the more highly correlated are the x and y data.A chance, or probability (P), always exists that data that are truly not linearly related to each other will randomly appear in a fairly linear fashion.The statistical significance of correlation values less than 1 must be evaluated from statistical tables of probability.
