What values did you select in excel? Can you please clarify?
 
Five observations taken for two variables follow.
xi
4 6 11 3 16
yi
50 50 40 60 20
(a)
Develop a scatter diagram with x on the horizontal axis.
 
 
A scatter plot with 5 points is given.
  • The horizontal axis is labeled: x, and ranges from 0 to 20.
  • The vertical axis is labeled: y, and ranges from 0 to 80.
  • The leftmost point on the plot is at about (3 , 48).
  • Moving right, second point is below and to the right of the first point.
  • The third point is above and to the right of the second point.
  • The fourth point is below and to the right of the third point.
  • The fifth point is below and to the right of the fourth point.


(b)
What does the scatter diagram developed in part (a) indicate about the relationship between the two variables?
The scatter diagram indicates that there is  ---Select--- a negative no a positive   

a negative

 relationship between the two variables.
(c)
Compute the sample covariance.
   

 

Based on the sample covariance, what can be said about the relationship between the two variables?
1.There is a strong positive linear relationship between the two variables.
2.There is a strong negative linear relationship between the two variables.    3.There is no relationship between the two variables.
4. There is a positive linear relationship between the two variables, but the strength of this relationship cannot be determined based on the sample covariance. 
 
(d)
Compute the sample correlation coefficient. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
   
Based on the sample correlation coefficient, what can be said about the relationship between the two variables?
1. There is a strong positive linear relationship between the two variables. 2. There is a strong negative linear relationship between the two variables.  
3.There is no relationship between the two variables.
4. There is a positive linear relationship between the two variables, but the strength of this relationship cannot be determined based on the sample correlation coefficient.
5. There is a negative linear relationship between the two variables, but the strength of this relationship cannot be determined based on the sample correlation coefficient.

Step 1

(a) Scatter diagram:

Step-by-step procedure for scatter diagram using EXCEL is given below:

  • Click on Insert> Charts>Scatter>Scatter with only Markers
  • Under Layout> Chart title>Above chart> type Scatter plot
  • Under Layout> Axis titles>Primary Horizontal Axis title>Title Below Axis> type x
  • Under Layout> Axis titles>Primary Vertical Axis title>Rotated Title> type y

The output for scatter plot is given below:

 

  • The horizontal axis is labeled: x, and ranges from 0 to 20.
  • Moving right, second point is below and to the right of the first point.
  • The fourth point is below and to the right of the third point.
  • The fifth point is below and to the right of the fourth point.

 

 

  •  
Step 2

 (b) Relationship between the two variables using scatter plot:

The scatter diagram indicates that there is a negative relationship between the two variables.

(c) Sample covariance: What values did you select in excel? 

The sample covariance can be calculated using EXCEL function "=COVARIANCE.S (select array of values)" as follows:

 

Thus, the sample covariance is -80.

Based on the sample covariance, there is a negative linear relationship between the two variables, but the strength of this relationship cannot be determined based on the sample covariance. 

Step 3

(d) Correlation coefficient:

The correlation coefficient can be calculated using EXCEL function "=CORREL (select array of values)" as follows: What values did you select in excel? 

 

Thus, the correlation coefficient is -0.971.
