Sketch a scatterplot

a.

When the data is visualized on a graph in paired form, it is referred to as a scatterplot.Here, one axis represents the values of x, and the other axis represents the values of y.

Steps to sketch a scatterplot:

  1. Make two axes, x and y, for each of the two variables.
  2. Map each paired value corresponding to the scale of the axes.
  3. Thus, a scatter plot for the paired data is obtained.

03

Compute the measure of the correlation coefficient

b.

The formula for the correlation coefficient is given below:

\(r = \frac{{n\sum {xy} - \left( {\sum x } \right)\left( {\sum y } \right)}}{{\sqrt {n\left( {\sum {{x^2}} } \right) - {{\left( {\sum x } \right)}^2}} \sqrt {n\left( {\sum {{y^2}} } \right) - {{\left( {\sum y } \right)}^2}} }}\)

The valuesare listed in the following table:

\(\sum x = 99\)

\(\sum y = 82.5\)

\(\sum {{x^2}} = 1001\)

\(\sum {{y^2} = } \;659.9762\)

\(\sum {xy\; = \;} 797.47\)

Substitute the values to obtain the value of r.

\(\begin{aligned} r &= \frac{{11\left( {797.47} \right) - \left( {99} \right)\left( {82.50} \right)}}{{\sqrt {11\left( {1001} \right) - {{\left( {99} \right)}^2}} \sqrt {11{{\left( {659.9762} \right)}^2} - {{\left( {82.5} \right)}^2}} }}\\ &= 0.8163\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the correlation coefficient is 0.8163.

04

Step 4:Conduct a hypothesis test for correlation

The statistical hypotheses are formulated below:

\(\begin{array}{l}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{o}}}:\rho = 0\\{{\rm{{\rm H}}}_{\rm{a}}}:\rho \ne 0\end{array}\)

Here,\(\rho \)isthe actual measure ofthe correlation coefficientfor the variables.

Calculate the test statistic as shown below:

\(\begin{aligned} t &= \frac{r}{{\sqrt {\frac{{1 - {r^2}}}{{n - 2}}} }}\\ &= \frac{{0.8163}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{1 - {{0.8163}^2}}}{{11 - 2}}} }}\\ &= 4.239\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the value of the test statistic is 4.239.

The degree of freedom is computedbelow:

\(\begin{aligned} df &= n - 2\\ &= 11 - 2\\ &= 9\end{aligned}\)

The p-value is computedfrom the t-distribution table.

\(\begin{aligned} p{\rm{ - value}} &= 2P\left( {T > 4.239} \right)\\ &= 2\left( {1 - P\left( {T < 4.239} \right)} \right)\\ &= 0.002\end{aligned}\)

Since the p-value is lesser than the significance level, the null hypothesis is rejected.

Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to support the existence of a linear correlation between two variables.

05

Analyze the importance of the scatterplot

c.

The scatterplot for the data reveals that one point lies at an extreme,beyond the straight-line pattern established by other points in the data. Resultant ofthis, the correlation measure, which was expected to be close to 1, is lower.

Testing for a Linear Correlation. In Exercises 13鈥28, construct a scatterplot, and find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r. Also find the P-value or the critical values of r from Table A-6. Use a significance level of A = 0.05. Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation between the two variables. (Save your work because the same data sets will be used in Section 10-2 exercises.)

Pizza and the Subway The 鈥減izza connection鈥 is the principle that the price of a slice of pizza in New York City is always about the same as the subway fare. Use the data listed below to determine whether there is a significant linear correlation between the cost of a slice of pizza and the subway fare.

In Exercises 5鈥8, use a significance level of A = 0.05 and refer to the

accompanying displays.

Casino Size and Revenue The New York Times published the sizes (square feet) and revenues (dollars) of seven different casinos in Atlantic City. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between size and revenue? Do the results suggest that a casino can increase its revenue by expanding its size?

Interpreting a Computer Display. In Exercises 9鈥12, refer to the display obtained by using the paired data consisting of Florida registered boats (tens of thousands) and numbers of manatee deaths from encounters with boats in Florida for different recent years (from Data Set 10 in Appendix B). Along with the paired boat, manatee sample data, Stat Crunch was also given the value of 85 (tens of thousands) boats to be used for predicting manatee fatalities.


Testing for Correlation Use the information provided in the display to determine the value of the linear correlation coefficient. Is there sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation between numbers of registered boats and numbers of manatee deaths from encounters with boats?

In Exercises 9鈥12, refer to the accompanying table, which was obtained using the data from 21 cars listed in Data Set 20 鈥淐ar Measurements鈥 in Appendix B. The response (y) variable is CITY (fuel consumption in mi/gal). The predictor (x) variables are WT (weight in pounds), DISP (engine displacement in liters), and HWY (highway fuel consumption in mi/gal).

Which regression equation is best for predicting city fuel consumption? Why?

Finding Critical r Values Table A-6 lists critical values of r for selected values of n and a. More generally, critical r values can be found by using the formula

\(r = \frac{t}{{\sqrt {{t^2} + n - 2} }}\)

where the t value is found from the table of critical t values (Table A-3) assuming a two-tailed case with n - 2 degrees of freedom. Use the formula for r given here and in Table A-3 (with n - 2 degrees of freedom) to find the critical r values corresponding to \({H_1}:\rho \ne 0\), \(\alpha \)= 0.02, and n = 27.
