Two variables are found to have a strong positive linear correlation. Pick the correct statement. An increase in one variable potentially causes a decrease in the other. An increase in one variable does not cause a decrease in the other. An increase in one variable does not cause an increase in the other. An increase in one variable potentially causes an increase in the other. An increase in one variable causes a decrease in the other. An increase in one variable causes an increase in the other.
Jim and Larry run a soup stand. The data below represents the sales of soup that they had on 8 randomly selected days, along with the high temperature on that day. a) Create a scatter diagram for this data set and comment on whether there is a positive or negative relationship between these variables.b) Calculate the correlation coefficient between temperature and sales.c) Does a linear relationship exist between these variables? Explain to me why or why not this is the case.d) Using excel, calculate the least squares regression equation for this data set. e) Using your equation, predict the soup sales on a day where the temperature is 29 degrees.f) Interpret the slope of this equation.g) Can we use this data set and regression equation to predict the sales on a day when the average temperature is 102 degrees? Why or why not?h) What is the R-squared for this equation? How do you interpret that R-squared?
A survey was taken in 2018 that asked people about their saving habits. Researchers wanted to know if people who saved more also spent less. The scatterplot below shows their results when comparing two variables: the amount people reported that they put into savings each month, and the amount they reported that they spent on clothes. The researchers found the correlation coefficient for this data to be -0.239. Which of the following is true about these variables? a. There is no relationship between savings and money spent on clothes each month.b. There is a weak, positive linear relationship between savings and money spent on clothes each month.c. There is a perfect, negative linear relationship between savings and money spent on clothes each month.d. There is a weak, negative linear relationship between savings and money spent on clothes each month.
The following statement contains an error. Choose the statement that best explains the error. "The correlation between shoe size and height is 0.87 inches" A. Correlation requires that both of the variables be categorical B. When stating the correlation coefficient, one must state whether it is a positive or negative relationship C. This statement does not tell us whether or not shoe size is correlated with height D. When reporting correlation, one does not report units because correlation has no units E. There is no error in this statement
A history instructor has given the same pretest and the same final examination each semester. he is interested in determining if there is a relationship between the scores of the two tests. he computes the linear correlation coefficient and notes that it is 1.15. what does the correlation coefficient value tells the instructor? a. there is a strong positive correlation between the test b. there is a strong negative correlation between the test c. the history instructor has made a computational error d. the correlation is something other than linear
For each of the following, indicate whether a correlation is most likely POSITIVE, NEGATIVE or NC (no correlation possible).

Give an example of two variables that you would expect to have a correlation close to or equal to -1. Give an example of two variables that you would expect to have a correlation close to or equal to 0. Remember that survey question you wrote? Take the class responses to your survey as data related to the one variable of your question. Now, take the list of responses from the survey question that one of your classmates wrote. Write down both lists of data. (If one sample size happens to be different from the other, cut the larger sample size down to that of the smaller sample size.) Calculate the correlation between the two variables. Describe the linear relationship between these two variables.

After gathering data about the number of starfish and measuring the pollution in areas of the ocean you find a negative linear correlation between pollution levels and number of starfish. What can you conclude based on this information? a. There is a confounding variable that is affecting both pollution and starfish. b. As pollution rises the number of starfish falls c. That pollution is causing starfish to die, leading to the negative correlation d. That pollution is supporting starfish, leading to the negative correlation
