Explanation of Solution

Correlation is measure of linear association between two variables. The variables are said to be correlated when the change in one variable affects the other variable.

The correlation coefficient (rxy) is a numerical value of the correlation representing the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The computed value of correlation coefficient must fall between 1 and +1 .

If two variables have a very strong positive relation, then the correlation value lies between .8 and 1. If two variables have a strong correlation, then correlation falls between .6 and .8. If two variables have a moderate positive relation, then the correlation value lies between .4 and .6. If two variables have a weak positive relation, then the correlation value lies between .2 and .4. And, if two variables have a very weak positive relation, then the correlation value lies between .0 and .2.

Similarly, if two variables have a very strong negative relation, then the correlation value lies between .8 and 1 . If two variables have a strong correlation, then correlation falls between .6 and .8 . If two variables have a moderate negative relation, then the correlation value lies between .4 and .6 . If two variables have a weak negative relation, then the correlation value lies between .2 and .4 . And, if two variables have a very weak negative relation, then the correlation value lies between .0 and .2

A population that is uniformly distributed between a=0and b=10 is given in sample sizes ​50(   ​), ​100(   ​), ​250(   ​), and ​500(   ​). Find the sample mean and the sample standard deviations for the given data. Compare your results to the average of means for a sample of size​ 10, and use the empirical rules to analyze the sampling error. For each​ sample, also find the standard error of the mean using formula given below.   Standard Error of the Mean =sigma/Root  Complete the following table with the results from the sampling experiment. ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.) Sample Size Average of 8 Sample Means Standard Deviation of 8 Sample Means Standard Error 50       100       250       500
A survey of 250250 young professionals found that two dash thirdstwo-thirds of them use their cell phones primarily for​ e-mail. Can you conclude statistically that the population proportion who use cell phones primarily for​ e-mail is less than 0.720.72​? Use a​ 95% confidence interval.       Question content area bottom Part 1 The​ 95% confidence interval is left bracket nothing comma nothing right bracket0.60820.6082, 0.72510.7251. As 0.720.72 is within the limits   of the confidence​ interval, we cannot   conclude that the population proportion is less than 0.720.72. ​(Use ascending order.
