[Solution] b) Find the linear correlation coefficient and use it - #80132
#36: Consider the data in the table below.
a) Examine the data and identify the relationship between x and y.
b) Find the linear correlation coefficient and use it to determine whether there appears
to be a significant linear correlation between x and y.
c) Construct a scatterplot. What does it suggest about the relationship between x and y?
d) Construct a residual plot. Are there any noticeable patterns? What does the residual
plot suggest about the relationship between x and y?
x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
y 0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100
#16: Car Weight and Fuel Consumption Listed below are the weights (in pounds) and the highway fuel consumption amounts (in mi/gal) of randomly selected cars (Chrysler
Sebring, Ford Mustang, BMW 3-Series, Ford Crown Victoria, Honda Civic. Mazda
Protege, Hyundai Accent). Is there a linear correlation between weight and highway
fuel consumption? What does the result suggest about a national program to reduce
the consumption of imported oil?
Weight 3175 3450 3225 3985 2440 2500 2290
Fuel consumption 27 29 27 24 37 34 37
#16. Car Weight and Fuel Consumption. Find the best predicted highway full consumption amount (in mi/gal) for a car that weighs 3000 lb.
Weight 3175 3450 3225 3985 2440 2500 2290
Fuel consumption 27 29 27 24 37 34 37
#30. Appendix B Data Set: Discarded Plastic and Household Size Refer to Data Set 10
Appendix B and use the weights of discarded plastic and the corresponding house sizes. Find the best predicted household size given that the household discards 5 of plastic.
