Question

What is the relationship between the attendance at a major league ball game and the total number of runs scored? Attendance figures (in thousands) and the runs scored for 9 randomly selected games are shown below.

 

Attendance 24 54 59 17 32 58 30 26 18
Runs 5 14 14 5 7 8 10 6 4

 

  1. Find the correlation coefficient:  r=r=    Round to 2 decimal places.
  2. The null and alternative hypotheses for correlation are:
    `H0: `      == 0
    `Ha:`       ≠≠ 0    
    The p-value is:    (Round to four decimal places)

  3. Use a level of significance of α=0.05α=0.05 to state the conclusion of the hypothesis test in the context of the study.
    • There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that a game with higher attendance will have fewer runs scored than a game with lower attendance.
    • There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the attendance of baseball games and the runs scored. Thus, the regression line is useful.
    • There is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the attendance of baseball games and the runs scored. Thus, the use of the regression line is not appropriate.
    • There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that a game with a higher attendance will have more runs scored than a game with lower attendance.
