Question

Let x be a random variable that represents the batting average of a professional baseball player. Let y be a random variable that represents the percentage of strikeouts of a professional baseball player. A random sample of n = 6 professional baseball players gave the following information.

x 0.310 0.298 0.340 0.248 0.367 0.269
y 2.5 7.8 4.0 8.6 3.1 11.1

 

(a) Verify that Σx = 1.832, Σy = 37.1, Σx2 = 0.569058, Σy2 = 289.87, Σxy = 10.7158, and r ≈ -0.800.

(b) Use a 10% level of significance to test the claim that ? ≠ 0. (Use 2 decimal places.)

Conclusion

Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that ? differs from 0.
 
Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that ? differs from 0.    
 
Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that ? differs from 0.
 
Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that ? differs from 0.
 
 
 
(c) Verify that Se ≈ 2.3343, a ≈ 25.475, and b ≈ -63.182.

Interpretation

For every unit increase in batting average, the percentage strikeouts decreases by an amount that falls outside the confidence interval.
 
For every unit increase in batting average, the percentage strikeouts increases by an amount that falls within the confidence interval.    
 
For every unit increase in batting average, the percentage strikeouts increases by an amount that falls outside the confidence interval.
 
For every unit increase in batting average, the percentage strikeouts decreases by an amount that falls within the confidence interval.
