Chapter 7.1, Problem 9E
Tire pressure (in kPa) was measured for the right and left front tires on a sample of 10 automobiles. Assume that the tire pressures follow a bivariate
| Right Tire Pressure | Left Tire Pressure |
| 184 | 185 |
| 206 | 203 |
| 193 | 200 |
| 227 | 213 |
| 193 | 196 |
| 218 | 221 |
| 213 | 216 |
| 194 | 198 |
| 178 | 180 |
| 207 | 210 |
- a. Find a 95% confidence interval for ρ, the population
correlation between the pressure in the right tire and the pressure in the left tire. - b. Can you conclude that ρ > 0.9?
- c. Can you conclude that ρ > 0?
