Answer:1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) r = 0.974
b) Critical value = 0.602
Step-by-step explanation:
Given - Two separate tests are designed to measure a student's ability to solve problems. Several students are randomly selected to take both test and the results are give below
Test A | 64 48 51 59 60 43 41 42 35 50 45
Test B | 91 68 80 92 91 67 65 67 56 78 71
To find - (a) What is the value of the linear coefficient r ?
(b) Assuming a 0.05 level of significance, what is the critical value ?
Proof -
A)
r = 0.974
B)
Critical Values for the Correlation Coefficient
n alpha = .05 alpha = .01
4 0.95 0.99
5 0.878 0.959
6 0.811 0.917
7 0.754 0.875
8 0.707 0.834
9 0.666 0.798
10 0.632 0.765
11 0.602 0.735
12 0.576 0.708
13 0.553 0.684
14 0.532 0.661
So,
Critical r = 0.602 for n = 11 and alpha = 0.05
The shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point is 9.4 miles.
Explanation
The joggers run 8 mile north and then runs 5 miles west. we have to calculate the shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point.
The distance traveled north and west respectively makes the height and base of a right angled triangle.
to find the shortest distance to the starting point, the hypotenuse has to be determined.
height h=8 miles
base b=5 miles
using pythagoras theorem

The shortest distance to the starting point is 9.4 miles
