The annual per capita consumption of oranges (in pounds) in the United States can be approximated by a normal distribution. The mean annual per capita of oranges is 19.2 with a standard deviation of 4 pounds. what annual per capita consumption of oranges represents the 5th percentile?
A negative correlation indicates: the values on the two variables being analyzed move in opposite directions. a higher score on one variable is related to a higher score on the other variable. the scores of each case in a sample simultaneously on two variables the value on the two variables being analyzed move in the same direction.

While performing searches on the Internet to find accommodation, Jasmine realized that the cost of a housing unit seems to be related to the number of inhabitants of the municipality where the unit is located. She noted the following data. She represented the data in a scatter plot, where she drew a line of best fit passing through the mean point of the distribution. If Jasmine considers that a linear correlation exists between these two variables, what should be the mean monthly rent of a 4½-room unit in a municipality with a population of approximately 250 000? Justify your answer algebraically.

Yessica thought that there was a correlation between the amount of time students slept the evening before their final exam and their final exam grade. She took an SRS of 5 students in her class and recorded the sleep time the evening before their final exam, and their final exam score. Let the sleep time the evening before the final exam represents the explanatory variable, and the final exam score be the response variable. Below is a sample data set. x (hour) 8 9 3 9 1 2 3 4 5 Calculate the sample correlation coefficient (r) to three decimal places. r= 9 Why would we expect the correlation coefficient to be positive? As the sleep time increases, exam score increases As the sleep time increases, exam score decreases As the sleep time decreases, exam score increases There is no change in exam score to sleep time C E y (score) 91 94 51 100 90 C A

For a sample of eight bears, researchers measured the distances around the bears' chests and weighed the bears. Minitab was used to find that the value of the linear correlation coefficient is r = 0.862. Using a = 0.05, determine if there is a linear correlation between chest size and weight. What proportion of the variation in weight can be explained by the linear relationship between weight and chest size? Click here to view a table of critical values for the correlation coefficient. a. Is there a linear correlation between chest size and weight? O A. No, because the absolute value of r exceeds the critical value of 0.707. O B. Yes, because r falls between the critical values of -0.707 and 0.707. O C. Yes, because the absolute value of r exceeds the critical value of 0.707. O D. The answer cannot be determined from the given information. b. What proportion of the variation in weight can be explained by the linear relationship between weight and chest size?
