Explanation of Solution
Thus, from the scatterplot we can say that:
Direction: Positive, because the scatterplot slopes upwards.
Form: Curved, because there is curvature present in the data.
Strength: Moderately strong, because the points are not very far apart, but are not extremely close either.

To explain what effect does this point have on the
(b)

Answer to Problem R3.1RE
Point A decreases the correlation, Point A will not have a drastic effect on slope, but will increase the y -intercept and Point A increases the standard deviation of the residuals.
Explanation of Solution
The point A is the hippopotamus.
Thus, Point A decreases the correlation since point A appears to be an outlier, it skews the data, thus decreasing the data set's correlation. Point A will not have a drastic effect on slope, but will increase the y -intercept. Since point A is close to x but far from y , it will not have much effect on the slope. However, for this same reason, it will increase the y-intercept. Point A increases the standard deviation of the residuals. This is because point A has such a large residual.
(c)
To explain what effect does this point have on the correlation, the regression line and the standard deviation of the residual.
(c)

Answer to Problem R3.1RE
Point B increases the correlation and does not affect the regression line and the standard deviation.
Explanation of Solution
Point B is an Asian elephant.
Thus, the point B lies in the extension of the pattern in most of the points in the scatterplot and thus point B lies roughly near the regression line and will increase the correlation. Moreover, it will not affect the regression line. And the observed y -values is roughly the same as the predicted value so the standard deviation will also be not affected by the point B.

- A company found that the daily sales revenue of its flagship product follows a normal distribution with a mean of $4500 and a standard deviation of $450. The company defines a "high-sales day" that is, any day with sales exceeding $4800. please provide a step by step on how to get the answers in excel Q: What percentage of days can the company expect to have "high-sales days" or sales greater than $4800? Q: What is the sales revenue threshold for the bottom 10% of days? (please note that 10% refers to the probability/area under bell curve towards the lower tail of bell curve) Provide answers in the yellow cellsarrow_forwardFind the critical value for a left-tailed test using the F distribution with a 0.025, degrees of freedom in the numerator=12, and degrees of freedom in the denominator = 50.
