Textbook Question

Chapter 7.1, Problem 9E

Tire pressure (in kPa) was measured for the right and left front tires on a sample of 10 automobiles. Assume that the tire pressures follow a bivariate normal distribution.

Right Tire Pressure	Left Tire Pressure
184	185
206	203
193	200
227	213
193	196
218	221
213	216
194	198
178	180
207	210

a. Find a 95% confidence interval for ρ, the population correlation between the pressure in the right tire and the pressure in the left tire.
b. Can you conclude that ρ > 0.9?
c. Can you conclude that ρ > 0?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
