What is the relationship between the number of minutes per day a woman spends talking on the phone and the woman's weight? The time on the phone and weight for 8 women are shown in the table below. Time 82 24 64 52 82 12 77 89 Pounds 181 125 156 142 158 103 148 161 Find the correlation coefficient: r=r= Round to 2 decimal places. The null and alternative hypotheses for correlation are: H0:H0: ? μ ρ r == 0 H1:H1: ? r ρ μ ≠≠ 0 The p-value is: (Round to four decimal places) 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 insignificant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the time women spend on the phone and their weight. Thus, the use of the regression line is not appropriate. There is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that a woman who spends more time on the phone will weigh more than a woman who spends less time on the phone. There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the time women spend on the phone and their weight. Thus, the regression line is useful. There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that a woman who spends more time on the phone will weigh more than a woman who spends less time on the phone.
Correlation
Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.
Linear Correlation
A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.
Regression Analysis
Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as predictors. Regression analysis is one of the methods to find the trends in data. The independent variable used in Regression analysis is named Predictor variable. It offers data of an associated dependent variable regarding a particular outcome.

- Find the
correlation coefficient : r=r= Round to 2 decimal places. - The null and alternative hypotheses for correlation are:
H0:H0: ? μ ρ r == 0
H1:H1: ? r ρ μ ≠≠ 0
The p-value is: (Round to four decimal places) - 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 insignificant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the time women spend on the phone and their weight. Thus, the use of the regression line is not appropriate.
- There is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that a woman who spends more time on the phone will weigh more than a woman who spends less time on the phone.
- There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the time women spend on the phone and their weight. Thus, the regression line is useful.
- There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that a woman who spends more time on the phone will weigh more than a woman who spends less time on the phone.
- r2r2 = (Round to two decimal places)
- Interpret r2r2 :
- Given any group of women who all weight the same amount, 84% of all of these women will weigh the predicted amount.
- 84% of all women will have the average weight.
- There is a large variation in women's weight, but if you only look at women with a fixed weight, this variation on average is reduced by 84%.
- There is a 84% chance that the regression line will be a good predictor for women's weight based on their time spent on the phone.
- The equation of the linear regression line is:
ˆyy^ = + xx (Please show your answers to two decimal places) - Use the model to predict the weight of a woman who spends 59 minutes on the phone.
Weight = (Please round your answer to the nearest whole number.) - Interpret the slope of the regression line in the context of the question:
- For every additional minute women spend on the phone, they tend to weigh on averge 0.76 additional pounds.
- The slope has no practical meaning since you cannot predict a women's weight.
- As x goes up, y goes up.
- Interpret the y-intercept in the context of the question:
- The average woman's weight is predicted to be 101.
- The y-intercept has no practical meaning for this study.
- If a woman does not spend any time talking on the phone, then that woman will weigh 101 pounds.
- The best prediction for the weight of a woman who does not spend any time talking on the phone is 101 pounds.
