Answer to Problem 10.1.7RE

The value of the correlation coefficient is 0.907.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Correlation coefficient r:

Software Procedure:

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the ‘correlation coefficient’ using the MINITAB software:

  • Select Stat >Basic Statistics > Correlation.
  • In Variables, select Male and Female from the box on the left.
  • Click OK.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

ELEMENTARY STATISTICS W/CONNECT >IP<, Chapter 10, Problem 10.1.7RE , additional homework tip  2

Thus, the value of the correlation is 0.907.

Answer to Problem 10.1.7RE

The conclusion is that, there is linear relation between the number of male and female physicians.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The level of significance is α=0.01 and the sample size is 7.

Calculation:

The hypotheses are given below:

Null hypothesis:

H0:ρ=0

That is, there is no linear relation between the number of male physicians and number of female physicians.

Alternative hypothesis:

H1:ρ0

That is, there is a linear relation between the number of male physicians and number of female physicians.

The formula to obtain the degrees of the freedom is n2 .

That is,

n2=72=5

From the “TABLE –I: Critical Values for the PPMC”, the critical value for 5 degrees of freedom and α=0.01 level of significance is 0.875.

Rejection Rule:

If the absolute value of r is greater than the critical value then reject the null hypothesis.

Conclusion:

From part (b), the value of the correlation of Men and Women is 0.907. That is the absolute value of r is 0.907.

Here, the absolute value of r is greater than the critical value.

That is, |r|(=0.907)<critical value(=0.875) .

By the rejection rule, the null hypothesis is rejected.

Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that “there is a linear relation between the number of male and female physicians”.

Answer to Problem 10.1.7RE

The regression equation for the given data is y^=103+3.41x .

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Regression:

Software procedure:

Step by step procedure to obtain the regression equation using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Stat > Regression > Regression.
  • In Responses, enter the column of Female.
  • In Predictors, enter the column of Male.
  • Click OK.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

ELEMENTARY STATISTICS W/CONNECT >IP<, Chapter 10, Problem 10.1.7RE , additional homework tip  3

Thus, the regression equation for the given data is y^=103+3.41x .

ELEMENTARY STATISTICS W/CONNECT >IP<, Chapter 10, Problem 10.1.7RE , additional homework tip  4

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Step by step procedure to obtain scatterplot using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Graph > Scatterplot.
  • Choose With Regression and then click OK.
  • Under Y variables, enter a column of Male.
  • Under X variables, enter a column of Female.
  • Click OK.

f.

To determine

To predict: The number of male specialists when there are 2,000 female specialists.

f.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 10.1.7RE

The predicted value of number of male specialists when there are 2,000 female specialists is 6,923.

Explanation of Solution

From part (d), the regression equation for the given data is y^=103+3.41x .

Substitute x as 2,000 in the regression equation

y^=103+3.41x=103+(3.41×2,000)=103+6,820=6,923

Thus, the predicted value of number of male specialists when there are 2,000 female specialists is 6,923.
