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.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Missing co-ordinate for the ordered pair is (7,2834)

Y-intercept is (0,4682)

X-intercept is (17.73,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of a certain company's video stores can be approximated by the linear equation

y= -264\ x+4682

where y is the number of stores and x represents the number of years after 1990.

To find the missing co-ordinate for the ordered pair solution (7,?)

For the ordered pair, we are given the x value which is =7 i.e 7 years after 1990. Thus we will plugin x=7 in the linear equation to get the y value which is number of stores after 7 years from 1990.

y= -264\ (7)+4682

y= -1848+4682

y= 2834

Thus the ordered pair is (7,2834)

To find y-intercept which is the point where the line touches the y-axis, we would plugin x=0 in the equation as the x-coordinate is 0 at y-axis.

y= -264\ (0)+4682

y= 0+4682

y=4682

Thus y-intercept is at point (0,4682)

To find x-intercept which is the point where the line touches the x-axis, we would plugin y=0 in the equation as the y-coordinate is 0 at x-axis and thus for x

0= -264\ x+4682

Subtracting both sides by 4682.

0-4682= -264\ x+4682-4682

-4682= -264\ x

Dividing both sides by -264

\frac{-4682}{-264}= \frac{-264\ x}{-264}

17.73= x

∴ x=17.73

Thus x-intercept is at point (17.73,0)

Len [333]

Answer:

First quartile = 3.5

Third quartile = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales for last 20 hours :

3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7

Using the data given :

The first quartile, Q1 ;

Q1 = 1/4(n+1)th term

n = 6

Q1 = 1/4(6 + 1)th term

Q1 = 7/4 = 1.75 th term

(3 + 4) / 2 = 7/2 = 3.5

The third quartile, Q3:

Q3 = 3/4(n+1)th term

n = 6

Q3 = 3/4(6 + 1)th term

Q3 = 21/4 = 5.25th term

(5th + 6th) term / 2

(6 + 7) / 2 = 13/2 = 6.5
