a. Compute the correlation between the wattage and heating area. Is there a direct or an indirect relationship? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

 



b. Conduct a test of hypothesis to determine if it is reasonable that the coefficient is greater than zero. Use the 0.050 significance level. (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 3 decimal places.)

H0ρ ≤ 0; H1ρ > 0 Reject H0 if t > 1.734

 



 



c. Develop the regression equation for effective heating based on wattage. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

 



d. What heating area corresponds with a 1,500-watt heater? (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

 



e. What is the 95% confidence interval of heating the area if the wattage is 1,500? (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)
