  1. Compute the correlation between the wattage and heating area. Is there a direct or an indirect relationship? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

 

  1. Conduct a test of hypothesis to determine if it is reasonable that the coefficient is greater than zero. Use the 0.025 significance level. (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 3 decimal places.)

H0: ρ ≤ 0; H1: ρ > 0 Reject H0 if t > 2.101

 

  1. Develop the regression equation for effective heating based on wattage. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

 

 

  1. Which heater looks like the “best buy” based on the size of the residual? (Round residual value to 3 decimal places.)
