(b) Would you say the correlation is low, moderate, or strong?

low

moderate

strong

Would you say the correlation is positive or negative?

positive

negative

x = 67,

x² = 1265,

y = 644,

y² = 93,546,

and

xy = 10,544.

Compute r. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

As x increases from 3 to 26 months, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? Explain your answer.

Given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases.

Given our value of r, we can not draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases.

Given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases.

Given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases.

Expert Answer

Step 1

Part (a):

The scatter diagram, along with the best fitted line (least-squares regression line) for the data is as follows:

Scatterplot of y vs x 200 175 150 125 100 75 50 0 10 15 20 25 309

Step 2

Part (b):

All the points fall very close to the straight line in the graph, in such a way, that as x increases, y also increases.

Thus, the correlation is strong and positive.

Step 3

Part (c):

Here, x, x2, y, y2, and xy are the sums of X, X2 Y, Y2, and XY, respectively.

Using calculator, it is verified that:

x = (3 + 6 + 12 + 20 + 26) = 67.

x2 = (32 + 62 + 122 + 202 + 262) = 1,265.

y = (60 + 95 + 140 + 160 + 189) = 644.

y2 = (602 + 952 + 1402 + 1602 + 1892) = 93,546.

xy = (3×60) + (6×95) + (12×140) + (20×160) + (26×189) = 10...
