A data set includes weights of garbage discarded in one week from 62 different households. The paired weights of paper and glass

were used to obtain the results shown to the right. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between weights of discarded paper and​ glass? Use a significance level of alpha equals 0.05. correlation​ matrix: Variables Paper Glass Paper 1 0.1853 Glass 0.1853

Answer:

Because the absolute value of the test statistic is <u>less than</u> the positive critical value, there <u>is not</u> enough evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the weights of discarded paper and glass for a significance level of α = 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation​ matrix provided is:

Variables    Paper     Glass

  Paper           1         0.1853

 Glass        0.1853         1

Te hypothesis for the test is:

<em>H</em>₀: <em>ρ</em> = 0 vs. <em>H</em>₀: <em>ρ</em> ≠ 0

The test statistic is:

<em>r</em> = 0.1853 ≈ 0.185

As the alternate hypothesis does not specifies the direction of the test, the test is two tailed.

The critical value for the two-tailed test is:

r_{\alpha/2, (n-2)}=r_{0.05/2, (62-2)}=r_{0.05/2, 60}=0.250

The conclusion is:

Because the absolute value of the test statistic is <u>less than</u> the positive critical value, there <u>is not</u> enough evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the weights of discarded paper and glass for a significance level of α = 0.05.

Finish writing the equation of the line y= -3/2x+?, given the points (6, -5) and (-2, 7).
anastassius [24]

Answer:

y=-3/2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you need to graph the points and then draw a line threw them. The place where the line crosses through the y-intercept is the value for b in y=mx+b.
