Do larger universities tend to have more property crime? University crime statistics are affected by a variety of factors. The surrounding community, accessibility given to outside visitors, and many other factors influence crime rate. Let x be a variable that represents student enrollment (in thousands) on a university campus, and let ybe a variable that represents the number of burglaries in a year on the university campus. A random sample of n = 8 universities in California gave the following information about enrollments and annual burglary incidents. Use a calculator to verify that Σ(x) = 57, Σ(x2) = 869, Σ(y) = 632,Σ(y2) = 89,050, and Σ(x y) = 8,532. Compute r. (Enter a number. Round your answer to three decimal places.) x 10.5 30.6 24.5 14.3 7.5 27.7 16.2 20.1 y 23 75 39 23 15 30 15 25

Do larger universities tend to have more property crime? University crime statistics are affected by a variety of factors.

A random sample of n = 8 universities in California gave the following information about enrollments and annual burglary incidents.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The correlation coefficient tells about the linear association between the explanatory variable and response variable and it is computed using r=n(xy)-(x)(y)nx2-x2ny2-y2

The following table gives the value for x,y,x2,y2,xy.

x y x2 y2 xy
10.5 23 110.25 529 241.5
30.6 75 936.36 5625 2295
24.5 39 600.25 1521 955.5
14.3 23 204.49 529 328.9
7.5 15 56.25 225 112.5
27.7 30 767.29 900 831
16.2 15 262.44 225 243
20.1 25 404.01 625 502.5
x=151.4 y=245 x2=3341.34 y2=10179 xy=5509.9
