27. Sports Diameters (cm), circumferences (cm), and volumes (cm3) from bolls used in different sports are listed in the table below. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that then: is a linear correlation between diameters and circumferences? Does the scatterplot confirm a linear association?
28. Sports Repeat the preceding exercise using diameters and volumes.

- The relationship between two variables partialling out the effect that a third variable has on one of those variables can be expressed using a: a. Partial correlation O b. Point-biserial correlation Oc. Semi-partial correlation Od. Bivariate correlationarrow_forwardA study of emergency service facilities investigated the relationship between the number of facilities and the average distance traveled to provide the emergency service. The following table gives the data collected.

A scatter diagram has 6 points. The horizontal axis ranges from 0 to 1.8 and is labeled: Distance. The vertical axis ranges from 5 to 35 and is labeled: Number. Moving from left to right, the leftmost point is at approximately (0.48, 30), with the next five points extending downward. The points decrease steeply at first and then level off. A scatter diagram has 6 points. The horizontal axis ranges from 5 to 35 and is labeled: Number. The vertical axis ranges from 0 to 1.8 and is labeled: Distance.

Kia is using a(n): a. quasi-experimental design b. experimental design c. descriptive design d. correlational designarrow_forwardStatistical technique used to determine the degree to which two variables are related is known as a. Regression b. Correlation c. None of these d. Dispersionarrow_forwardBased on the scatterplot, what is the most likely value of the linear correlation coefficient r?A. 0B. 1C. -1D. -0.5arrow_forward
- The correlation coefficient (r) measures O how many data points are shown on a scatterplot. O whether or not a scatterplot shows an interesting pattern. O whether a cause and effect relationship exists between two variables. O the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two quantitative variables.arrow_forwardIn regression, the equation that describes how the response variable ( y ) is related to the explanatory variable (x) is: O a. None of the above O b. the regression model O c. the correlation modelarrow_forwardCigarette Tar and Nicotine The table below lists measured amounts (mg) of tar, carbon monoxide (CO), and nicotine in king size cigarettes of different brands (from Data Set 13 “Cigarette Contents” in Appendix B). a. Is there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation between tar and nicotine? b. What percentage of the variation in nicotine can be explained by the linear correlation between nicotine and tar? c. Letting y represent the amount of nicotine and letting x represent the amount of tar, identify the regression equation. d. The Raleigh brand king size cigarette is not included in the table, and it has 23 mg of tar. What is the best predicted amount of nicotine? How does the predicted amount compare to the actual amount of 1.3 mg of nicotine?arrow_forward
