Question

Question help fifty dash fourfifty-four wild bears were​ anesthetized, and then their weights and chest sizes were measured and listed in a data set. results are shown in the accompanying display. is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the weights of bears and their chest​ sizes

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: Yes, There is a linear correlation between the weights of the bears and their chest sizes because the absolute value of the test statistics 0.961 exceeds the critical value

Explanation:

Claim: There is a linear correlation between the weights of the bears and their chest sizes

Null hypothesis, H₀ : p=0                (there is no significant correlation)

Alternative hypothesis, H₁ : p ≠0    (there is no significant correlation)

Level of significance, α = 0.05

Decision rule: Reject H₀ if robserved ≥ rcritical

Sample correlation coefficient r = robserved = 0.961

Yes, There is a linear correlation between the weights of the bears and their chest sizes because the absolute value of the test statistics 0.961 exceeds the critical value
