A nutritionist collects data from 25 popular breakfast cereals. For each cereal, the number of calories per serving is plotted on the x-axis against the number of milligrams of sodium on the y-axis. The value of r for the resulting scatterplot is 0.83. How would the value of the correlation coefficient, r, change if sodium was plotted on the x-axis and calories plotted on the y-axis? O The value of r would increase. O The value of r would not change. O The value of r would change to -0.83. The value of r could increase or decrease, depending of the strength of the new relationship.

Jim and Larry run a soup stand. The data below represents the sales of soup that they had on 8 randomly selected days, along with the high temperature on that day. a) Create a scatter diagram for this data set and comment on whether there is a positive or negative relationship between these variables.b) Calculate the correlation coefficient between temperature and sales.c) Does a linear relationship exist between these variables? Explain to me why or why not this is the case.d) Using excel, calculate the least squares regression equation for this data set. e) Using your equation, predict the soup sales on a day where the temperature is 29 degrees.f) Interpret the slope of this equation.g) Can we use this data set and regression equation to predict the sales on a day when the average temperature is 102 degrees? Why or why not?h) What is the R-squared for this equation? How do you interpret that R-squared?
You wish to determine if there is a linear correlation between the age of a driver and the number of driver deaths. The following table represents the age of a driver and the number of driver deaths per 100,000. Use a significance level of 0.01 and round all values to 4 decimal places. Driver Age Number of Driver Deaths per 100,000 65 27 34 27 76 24 55 34 71 21 49 24 34 36 27 19 Ho: ρ = 0Ha: ρ ≠ 0 Find the Linear Correlation Coefficient r = Find the p-value p-value = The p-value is Less than (or equal to) αα Greater than αα The p-value leads to a decision to Reject Ho Accept Ho Do Not Reject Ho The conclusion is There is a significant positive linear correlation between driver age and number of driver deaths. There is a significant linear correlation between driver age and number of driver deaths. There is a significant negative linear correlation between driver age and number of driver deaths. There is insufficient evidence to make a…
A random sample of college students was surveyed about how they spend their time each week. The scatterplot below displays the relationship between the number of hours each student typically works per week at a part- or full-time job and the number of hours of television each student typically watches per week. The correlation between these variables is r = –0.63, and the equation we would use to predict hours spent watching TV based on hours spent working is as follows: Predicted hours spent watching TV = 17.21 – 0.23(hours spent working) Since we are using hours spent working to help us predict hours spent watching TV, we’d call hours spent working a(n) __________________ variable and hours spent watching TV a(n) __________________ variable. The correlation coefficient, along with what we see in the scatterplot, tells us that the relationship between the variables has a direction that is _________________ and a strength that is ______________________. According to the…

Suppose a clinical psychologist sets out to see whether sexual orientation is related to relationship longevity. He decides to measure relationship satisfaction in a group of homosexual couples and a group of heterosexual couples. He chooses the Marital Satisfaction Inventory because it refers to "partner" and "relationship" rather than "spouse" and "marriage," which makes it useful for research with both traditional and nontraditional couples. Higher scores on the Marital Satisfaction Inventory indicate greater relationship satisfaction. The psychologist administers the Marital Satisfaction Inventory to 53 couples-23 are homosexual couples and 30 are heterosexual couples. He wants to calculate the correlation between a couple's relationship satisfaction and sexual orientation. Which of the following types of correlations would be most appropriate for the psychologist to use? O A phi-correlation A Spearman correlation OA point-biserial correlation A Pearson correlation
