Find the value of the linear correlation coefficient R. The paired data below consists of the costs of advertising (in thousands
of dollars) and the number of products (in thousands).
Cost : 9, 2, 3, 4, 2, 5, 9, 10
Number: 85, 52, 55, 68, 67, 86, 83, 73
Cost : 9, 2, 3, 4, 2, 5, 9, 10
Number: 85, 52, 55, 68, 67, 86, 83, 73
1 answer:
Answer:
0.708
Step-by-step explanation:
The calculation of the value of the linear correlation coefficient R is shown below:-
Cost Number
9 85
2 52
3 55
4 68
2 67
5 86
9 83
10 73
Value of linear correlation coefficient R is 0.70772136
or
= 0.708
For clarification look at the spreadsheet which has been attached and uses the following steps which are as follows
Step 1
To activate the data analysis option:- Go to file menu click on add-in option and choose the manage option and select Excel Add-in option click on Ok after that choose Analysis Tool Pak
Step 2
After following step 1 choose data tab and select data analysis tab and select correlation and click ok
Step 3
After selecting correlation to select the range from $A$2:$B$9 and then click OK to reach the value of linear correlation coefficient R.

Let's put this on the usual Cartesian grid just so we can talk about it without drawing a picture. We'll use map conventions, right is east, up is north.
The ball starts at (0,0). 10.3 feet northwest means we have an isosceles right triangle whose diagonal is 10.3 feet. It's isosceles because northwest means equal parts north and west.
The sides of these triangles are in ratio
The negative sign indicates west, which doesn't really matter for this problem. The distance from the origin to this point is 10.3 as required.
Now a second putt of 3.8 feet north puts us at
The squared distance to the origin is exactly
A little calculator work tells us
Third choice.
