In a sample of 300 steel rods, the correlation coefficient between diameter and length was r = 0.15. Find the P-value for testing H0: ρ ≤ 0 vs. H1: ρ > 0. Can you conclude that ρ > 0? Does the result in part (a) allow you to conclude that there is a strong correlation between eccentricity and smoothness? Explain.

The accompanying data resulted from an experiment in which weld diameter and shear strength (in pounds) were determined for five different spot welds on steel. Below are the data collected and the regression equation.

Indicate whether the following statements are true or false. Explain why and show your work. c) In the regression Y=B1 + B2 X + B3 Z + u, if there is a strong linear correlation between X and Z, then it is more likely you fail to reject the null hypotheses that individual slope parameters are insignificant.

Compute for the necessary correlational analysis based on the given data. The following data, adapted from Montgomery, Peck, and Vining (2001), present the number of certified mental defectives per 10,000 of estimated population in the United Kingdom ( y) and the number of radio receiver licenses issued (x) by the BBC (in millions) for the years 1924 through 1937. Fit a regression model relating y and x. Comment on the model. Specifically, does the existence of a strong correlation imply a cause-and-effect relationship?

A class of 35 students took two midterm tests. Jack missed the ﬁrst test and Jill missed the second test. The 33 students who took both tests scored an average of 75 points on the ﬁrst test, with a standard deviation of 10 points, and an average of 64 points on the second test, with a standard deviation of 12 points. The scatter diagram of their scores is roughly ellipsoidal, with a correlation coeﬃcient of r = 0 . 5. Because Jack and Jill each missed one of the tests, their professor needs to guess how each would have performed on the missing test in order to compute their semester grades. (a) Jill scored 80 points on Test 1. She suggests that her missing score on Test 2 be replaced with her score on Test 1, 80 points. What do you think of this suggestion? What score would you advise the professor to assign? (b) Jack scored 76 points on Test 2, precisely one standard deviation above the Test 2 mean. He suggests that his missing score on Test 1 be replaced with a score of 85 points,…

Listed below are the overhead widths (in cm) of seals measured from photographs and the weights (in kg) of the seals. Construct a scatterplot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r, and find the critical values of r using α=0.01. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between overhead widths of seals from photographs and the weights of the seals?
