Question

What is the relationship between the attendance at a major league ball game and the total number of runs scored? Attendance figures (in thousands) and the runs scored for 10 randomly selected games are shown below.

 

Attendance 45 14 39 59 40 52 54 14 26 58
Runs 7 2 6 14 7 10 14 6 9 13

 

  1. Find the correlation coefficient:  r=r=    Round to 2 decimal places.
  2. The null and alternative hypotheses for correlation are:
    H0:H0:      == 0
    H1:H1:       ≠≠ 0    
    The p-value is:    (Round to four decimal places)

  3. Use a level of significance of α=0.05α=0.05 to state the conclusion of the hypothesis test in the context of the study.
    • There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the attendance of baseball games and the runs scored. Thus, the regression line is useful.
    • There is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the attendance of baseball games and the runs scored. Thus, the use of the regression line is not appropriate.
    • There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that a game with higher attendance will have fewer runs scored than a game with lower attendance.
    • There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that a game with a higher attendance will have more runs scored than a game with lower attendance.
  4.  r2r2 =  (Round to two decimal places)  (Round to two decimal places)
