Several questions are based on the following information. A strong relationship between ocean temperature and the probability of tropical storms in the Caribbean has been established. The variable T represents water temperature in degree Fahrenheit and Pis the probability of a tropical storm. It has been verified that when water temperature is 80F, the probability of a tropical storm is .04. When water temperature is 82F, the probability of a tropical storm is .08. Assume the relationship between P and T is linear. An increase in T of 1 degree would increase P by approximately a. 0.01 b. 0.02 c. 0.03 d. 0.04.

Anyone who has been outdoors on a summer evening has probably heard crickets. Did you know that it is possible to use the cricket as a thermometer? Crickets tend to chirp more frequently as temperatures increase. This phenomenon was studied in detail by George W. Pierce, a physics professor at Harvard. In the following data, x is a random variable representing chirps per second and y is a random variable representing temperature (°F). x 19.8 15.3 20.4 18.1 16.2 15.5 14.7 17.1 y 89.4 73.2 95.3 86.1 78.8 75.2 69.7 82.0 x 15.4 16.2 15.0 17.2 16.0 17.0 14.4 y 69.4 83.3 79.6 82.6 80.6 83.5 76.3 (b) Verify the given sums Σx, Σy, Σx2, Σy2, Σxy, and the value of the sample correlation coefficient r.

A random sample of college students was surveyed about how they spend their time each week. The scatterplot below displays the relationship between the number of hours each student typically works per week at a part- or full-time job and the number of hours of television each student typically watches per week. The correlation between these variables is r = –0.63, and the equation we would use to predict hours spent watching TV based on hours spent working is as follows: Predicted hours spent watching TV = 17.21 – 0.23(hours spent working) Since we are using hours spent working to help us predict hours spent watching TV, we’d call hours spent working a(n) __________________ variable and hours spent watching TV a(n) __________________ variable. The correlation coefficient, along with what we see in the scatterplot, tells us that the relationship between the variables has a direction that is _________________ and a strength that is ______________________. According to the…
