    A professor assumed there was a correlation between the amount of hours people were expose to sunlight and their blood vitamin D level. The null hypothesis was that the population correlation was__
    a. Positive 1.0
    b. Negative 1.0
    c. Zero
    d. Positive 0.50

    c. Zero

    Reason: Since the professor wanted to assume a correlation (either positive = 1.0 or negative = -1.0), then we take the other side of that assumption for our null hypothesis and say that there is no correlation (Zero)
