A researcher desires to know if the age of a child is related to the number of cavities he or she has. The data is below. Age of child, x 6 8 9 10 12 14 No. of cavities, y 2 1 3 4 6 5 Perform a hypothesis test to determine if there is a linear relationship between the variables. Find the coefficient of determination and interpret it Using s, determine if there are any outliers.

In forestry, the diameter of a tree at breast height is used to model the height of the tree. Silviculturists working in British Columbia’s boreal forest conducted a series of spacing trials to predict the heights of several species of trees. The data are the breast height diameters (in centimeters) and heights (in meters) for a sample of 18 white spruce trees.

Are the breast height diameters and the trees’ height linearly related? What can you infer about the relationship between the two variables? Is a linear model appropriate? b) Compare the scatter plot in (a) with the correlation coefficient…

A researcher is surprised at the low Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient between the heights and weights of the members of the woman’s basketball team at his college. He should have realized a. that he had several outliers and that reduced the correlation b. the range of heights was restricted and that reduced the correlation c. the relationship was curvilinear and could not be detected by the Pearson Product Moment correlation d. Height does not cause weight

An electronics store sells new and used Z-phones. The store manager made the scatter plot below to show the selling prices of used Z-phones and their ages, in monthsIf these data are modeled by the line y=-10x+410, which best describes a valid prediction the manager could make, based on the dataA.If the store sells a Z-phone that is 30 months old, it will probably sell for only $50B.If the store sells a brand-new Z-phone, it can expect a customer to pay about $410C.For every one-month increase in phone age, the price a customer will pay increases by about $10D.For every one-year increase in phone age, the price a customer will pay decreases by about $10

A study was undertaken to determine whether there was a significant weight (in lb) loss after one year course of therapy for diabetes, and whether the amount of weight (in lb) loss was related to initial weight. The following table gives the initial weight (x) and weight after one year of therapy (y) for 16 newly diagnosed adult diabetic patients.
