Finding Critical r Values Table A-6 lists critical values of r for selected values of n and α. More generally, critical r values can be found by using the formula
where the t value is found from the table of critical t values (Table A-3) assuming a two-tailed case with n − 2 degrees of freedom. Use the formula for r given here and in Table A-3 (with n − 2 degrees of freedom) to find the critical r values corresponding to H1: ρ ≠ 0, α = 0.02, and n = 27.

- Areas of Curved Regions the Monte Carlo method can be used to estimate the area under the graph of a function. The figure below shows the region under the graph of f(x)=x2 above the x-axis, between x=0 and x=1. if we choose a point in the square at random, probability that it lies under the graph of f(x)=x2 is the area under the graph divided by the area of the square. So if randomly select a large of points in the square, we have Modify the program from Problem 5 to carry out this Monte Carlo simulation and mate the required area.arrow_forwardAreas of Curved Regions The Monte Carlo method can be used to estimate the area under the graph of a function.

For a certain company, the z-score formula is z=0.84+0.6StockpriceOutstandingsharesTotalliabilty In this exercise, we assume that thre are 45, 000 outstanding shares at a price of 4.80 each. a. Use L, for total liability, in dollard, and give a formula for the z-score for this company. b. Would a larger total liability idicate a better or worese outlook for the company? c. A z-score of 1.81 or lower indicates a high probability of insolvency. What is the smallest value of L that will give a z-score that indicates a high probability on insolvency?arrow_forward
- Limiting values Find the limiting value of 7+a0.6t.arrow_forwardHarvard Step Test The Harvard Step Test was developed4 in 1943 as physical fitness test, and modifications of it remain in use today. The candidate steps up and down on a bench 20 inches high 30 times per minute for 5 minutes. The pulse is counted three separate times for 30 seconds each: at 1 minute, 2 minutes, and 3 minutes after the exercise is completed. If P is the sum of the three pulse counts, then the physical efficiency index E is calculated using E=15,000P. The following table shows how to interpret the results of the test. Efficiency Index Interpretation Below 55 Poor condition 55 to 64 Low average 65 to 79 High average 80 to 89 Good 90 & above Excellent a. Does the physical efficiency index increase or decrease with increasing values of P? Explain in practical terms what this means. b. Express using functional notation the physical efficiency index of someone whose total pulse count is 200, and then calculate that value. c. What is the physical condition of someone whose total pulse cont is 200? d. What pulse counts will result in an excellent rating?arrow_forward
