Chapter 10: Q4CQQ (page 468)

The following exercises are based on the following sample data consisting of numbers of enrolled students (in thousands) and numbers of burglaries for randomly selected large colleges in a recent year (based on data from the New York Times).

If you had computed the value of the linear correlation coefficient to be 1.500, what should you conclude?

Short Answer

Expert verified

It can be concluded that there is an error in the calculation.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The table representing the number of enrolled students (in thousands) and the number of burglaries for randomly selected large colleges in recent years is provided.

The value of \(r{\rm{ is }}1.500\).

02

Draw inference from the correlation coefficient measure

The value of r lies between 鈥�1 and 1 inclusive, where the negative sign represents an indirect relationship. Also, the magnitude of 1 represents a perfect and linear relationship.

This implies that the value of r cannot be 1.500.

In conclusion, there must be an error in the calculation.

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.)

Old Faithful Listed below are duration times (seconds) and time intervals (min) to the next eruption for randomly selected eruptions of the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between duration times and interval after times?

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 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?

Critical Thinking: Is the pain medicine Duragesic effective in reducing pain? Listed below are measures of pain intensity before and after using the drug Duragesic (fontanels) (based on data from Janssen Pharmaceutical Products, L.P.). The data are listed in order by row, and corresponding measures are from the same subject before and after treatment. For example, the first subject had a measure of 1.2 before treatment and a measure of 0.4 after treatment. Each pair of measurements is from one subject, and the intensity of pain was measured using the standard visual analog score. A higher score corresponds to higher pain intensity.

Explore! Exercises 9 and 10 provide two data sets from 鈥淕raphs in Statistical Analysis,鈥� by F. J. Anscombe, the American Statistician, Vol. 27. For each exercise,

a. Construct a scatterplot.

b. Find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r, then determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between the two variables.

c. Identify the feature of the data that would be missed if part (b) was completed without constructing the scatterplot.
