r claim at a 0.10
A student wants to see if the number of times a book has been checked out of the library in the past year and the number of pages in the book are related. She guesses that the number of times a book has been checked out of the library in the past year will be a predictor of the number of pages it has. She randomly sampled 12 books from the library, test her claim at a 0.10 level of significance.
| number of times checked out | number of pages |
|---|---|
| 22 | 239 |
| 38 | 265 |
| 46 | 379 |
| 5 | 369 |
| 31 | 319 |
| 11 | 275 |
| 21 | 270 |
| 27 | 341 |
| 35 | 308 |
| 9 | 350 |
| 46 | 434 |
| 25 | 314 |
The
r= (round to 3 decimal places)
The equation y=a+bx is: (round to 3 decimal places)
y=+ x
The hypotheses are:
H0:ρ=0H0:ρ=0 (no linear relationship)
HA:ρ≠0HA:ρ≠0 (linear relationship) (claim)
Since αα is 0.10 the critical value is -1.813 and 1.813
The test value is: (round to 3 decimal places)
The p-value is: (round to 3 decimal places)
The decision is to
- reject H0H0
- do not reject H0H0
Thus the final conclusion sentence is
- There is enough evidence to reject the claim that there is a linear relationship.
- There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that there is a linear relationship.
- There is enough evidence to support the claim that there is a linear relationship.
- There is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is a linear relationship.
