Determine the linear correlation coefficient by using

a. Definition 4.8 on page 183

b. Formula 4.3 on page 185

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)The linear correlation coefficient by using definition is-0.685

(b) The linear correlation coefficient by using Formula is-0.685

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given Information 

Given data is

We have to obtain the linear correlation coefficient by using definition

02

Part(a) Step 2: Explanation 

The linear correlation coefficient using definition is as follows

r=1n-1∑xi-xyi-y¯σxσy

The standard deviations are as follows

σx=1n-1∑(x-x¯)2σy=1n-1∑(y-y¯)2

Table of values can be computed on the following table

The standard deviations are

σx=1n-1∑(x-x¯)2=15-1(24)=6σy=1n-1∑(y-y¯)2=15-1(20)=5

The linear correlation coeficients is

r=1n-1∑xi-xyi-y¯σxσy=15-1-1530=-0.685

03

Part(b) Step 1: Given Information 

The given table is

We have to obtain the linear correlation coefficient by using formula

04

Part(b) Step 2: Explanation  

Table of values can be computed on the following table

r=∑xy-∑z∑yn∑x2-∑x2n∑y2-∑y2n=0-755(69-(225/5))(25-(25/5))=-0.685

The linear correlation coefficient is

r=∑xy-∑z∑yn∑x2-∑x2n∑y2-∑y2n=0-755(69-(225/5))(25-(25/5))=-0.685

Most popular questions from this chapter

PCBs and Pelicans. The data on shell thickness and concentration of PCBs for 60Anacapa pelican eggs from Exercise 4.76 are on the WeissStats site.

a. decide whether use of the linear correlation coefficient as a descriptive measure for the data is appropriate. If so, then also do parts (b) and (c).

b. obtain the linear correlation coefficient.

c. interpret the value of r in terms of the linear relationship between the two variables in question.

A value of rclose to -1suggests a strong------ linear relationship between the variables.

In the article "Comparison of Fiber Counting by TV Screen and Eyepieces of Phase Contrast Microscopy" (Amer. icon Industrial Hyeiene Asseciution Journal, Vol. 63, Pp. 756-761), 1. Moa et al. reported on determining fiber density by two different methods. Twenty samples of varying fiber density were each counted by 10 viewers by means of an eyepiece method and a television screen method to determine the relationship between the counts done by each method. The results, in fibers per square millimeter, are presented on the Weiss Stats site.

(a). Decide whether use of the linear correlation coefficient as a descriptive measure for the data is appropriate, If so, then also parts (b)and(c).

Sample Covariance. For a set of n data points, the sample covariance, sxy+is given by

The sample covariance can be used as an alternative method for tinding the slope and y-intercept of a regression line. The formulas are

b1=sv/xk2andb0=y^-b1i^n

where sidenotes the sample standard deviation of the x-values.

a. Use Equation (4.1) to determine the sample covariance of the data points in Exercise 4,45.

b. Use Equation (4.2) and your answer from part (a) to find the regression equation. Compare your result to that found in Exercise 4.57.

9. Based on the least-squares criterion, the line that best fits a set of data points is the one with the ________possible sum of squared errors.
