Question

A biologist interested in estimating the correlation between the body mass ( in grams) and body length ( in cm) of porcupines has a random sample of 18 porcupines with r = 0.407. The bootstrap distribution she constructed in approximately normal and the standard error is estimated to be 0.165. use the normal distribution to construct and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the correlation between body mass and body length in porcupines. round all values to three decimal places.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
