The relationship between the cost of a taxi ride (y) and the length of ride (x) is analyzed and is determined to be linear. The mean length was 3.9 miles with a standard deviation of 0.8 mile(s). The mean cost was $9.49 with a standard deviation of $1.7. The equation of the regression model is: =2.53+ 1.79 x
Find the correlation coefficient r.
What does the correlation coefficients tell us? (please circle all that are true)
The linear relation between x and y is positive
The linear relation between x and y is negative
Suppose the critical value is 0.5798. (please circle all that are true)
The correlation coefficient is significantly different from zero.
The linear relation between length of ride and the cost is strong.
The correlation coefficient is NOT significantly different from zero.
The linear relation between the length of ride and the cost is weak.
