Question

For items 1 - 5, use the data below that gives the humerus bone length (in cm) and height (in inches) for a sample of female skeletons. [The data was provided by Dr. Ayers-Darling, former professor at MVCC.]

humerus (cm) height (in.)
32.6 66
28.0 60
29.9 62
30.5 63
31.2 64
29.9 62
29.1 61
29.5 62
29.8 62
28.5 61

 

 

Compute the correlation r between the humerus length and the height of the female. Express the value to the nearest thousandth (three decimal places).-_____________________________

As the humerus length increases, does the female height increase or decrease? (Use the result of #1 or a drawn scatterplot to help you decide.)___________________________________

If the height of the female is to be predicted from the length of the humerus, is female height the explanatory or response variable?_______________________

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

sample mean (x̄) = Σx/n  =299/10 = 29.9
sample mean (ȳ) = Σy/n = 623/10 = 62.3

Sxx = 15.72

Syy = 26.10

Sxy = 20.00
