Answer:
(a) There is not a clear explanatory variable and response variable
(b) Please find attached the scatterplot created with Microsoft Excel
(c) There is some relationship between the total bill and tip received
(d) The correlation value of r = 0.67, reaffirm that there is an amount of positive correlation between the total bill and the tip received
(e) The correlation will remain positive, and will increase
(ii) The correlation will remain constant
(f) The correlation and r will increase marginally
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The given parameters are;
Total Tip
$4.50 $0.75
$5.79 $1.00
$6.25 $0.75
$4.62 $0.58
$6.35 $1.00
From the given data, the relationship between the variables are not clear as the lowest and the second highest total give the same amount as tip, the second lowest receive the lowest tip and the median value of the total and the highest value give the same value of tip
Therefore, there is not a clear explanatory variable and response variable
(b) Please find attached the scatterplot
(c) Based on the scatterplot, as the total bill increases, the response the tip increases, therefore, there is some relationship between the total bill and tip received
(d) The correlation value of r = 0.67, reaffirm that there is an amount of positive correlation between the total bill and the tip received
(e) (i)Whereby the total bill were reduced by 10% each, we have, that the correlation will remain positive, and will increase
(ii) Whereby the tip received were measured in cents rather than dollars, the correlation will remain constant
(f) When the total bill of another customer whose bill is $5.15 and tipped $0.75 is added, we have three customers out of six that give an equal tip, therefore, the correlation and r will increase marginally
