Which of the following is an example of a null hypothesis for testing a correlation coefficient?
A) $H _ { 1 : } \rho _ { x v } \neq 0$
B) $H _ { 1 : } : \rho _ { x w } = 0$
C) $H _ { 0 } : \rho _ { x v } = 0$
D) $H _ { 0 } : \rho _ { x w } \neq 0$

The null hypothesis always assumes no correlation, so the correct choice is the one that states H0: ρxv=0. The other choices state alternative hypotheses, which are not the null hypothesis.
