PLEASE HELP WITH A,D,F,G 

What is the relationship between the number of minutes per day a
woman spends talking on the phone and the woman's weight? The
time on the phone and weight for 8 women are shown in the table
below.

a. Find the correlation coefficient:
Round to 2
decimal places.
b. The null and alternative hypotheses for correlation are:
Ho: P = 0
H1: P
+ 0 o o
The p-value is:
(Round to four decimal places)
c. Use a level of significance of a = 0.05 to state the conclusion of
the hypothesis test in the context of the study.
OThere is statistically significant evidence to conclude that
a woman who spends more time on the phone will weigh
more than a woman who spends less time on the phone.
O There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that
there is a correlation between the time women spend on
the phone and their weight. Thus, the regression line is
useful.
OThere is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude
that a woman who spends more time on the phone will
weigh more than a woman who spends less time on the
phone.
OThere is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude
that there is a correlation between the time women spend
on the phone and their weight. Thus, the use of the
regression line is not appropriate.
of
d. =
(Round to two decimal places)
e. Interpret ² :
OGiven any group of women who all weight the same
amount, 72% of all of these women will weigh the
predicted amount.
O There is a large variation in women's weight, but if you
only look at women with a fixed time on the phone , this
variation on average is reduced by 72%.
OThere is a 72% chance that the regression line will be a
good predictor for women's weight based on their time
spent on the phone.
072% of all women will have the average weight.
f. The equation of the linear regression line is:
(Please show your answers to two
decimal places)
g. Use the model to predict the weight of a woman who spends 50
minutes on the phone.
Weight =
whole number.)
(Please round your answer to the nearest
h. Interpret the slope of the regression line in the context of the
question:
O The slope has no practical meaning since you cannot
predict a women's weight.
O For every additional minute women spend on the phone,
they tend to weigh on averge 0.80 additional pounds.
OAs x goes up, y goes up.
i. Interpret the y-intercept in the context of the question:
OThe y-intercept has no practical meaning for this study.
O If a woman does not spend any time talking on the phone,
then that woman will weigh 85 pounds.
O The best prediction for the weight of a woman who does
not spend any time talking on the phone is 85 pounds.
OThe average woman's weight is predicted to be 85.

Expert Solution
Step 1

a.

The correlation value is obtained using EXCEL. The software procedure is given below:

  • Enter the data.
  • Select Data > Data Analysis >Correlation> OK.
  • Enter Input Range as A1:B9 for variables Time and Pounds.
  • Mark Labels in First Row.
  • Click OK.

The output using EXCEL is as follows:

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

From the output, the correlation coefficient r is 0.85.

Thus, the correlation coefficient (r) is 0.85.
