Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Scaterplot is a type of graphic which shows the relationship between to variables. In this question, you want to determine if there is a linear relationship between overhead widths of seals and the weights. So, the hypothesis are:
H₀: no linear correlation;
H₁: there is linear correlation;
In this hypothesis test, to reject H₀, the correlation coefficient r of the data set has to be bigger than the critical value from the table.
With α = 0.05 and n = 6, the critical value is 0.811.
The linear correlation is calculated as:
r = n∑xy - ∑x.∑y / √[n∑x² - (∑x)²] [n∑y² - (∑y)²]
r =
r = 0.9485
Since r is bigger than the critical value, H₀ is rejected, which means there is enough evidence to conclude that there is linear correlation between overhead widths and the weights.
In the attachments is the scaterplot of the measurements, also showing the relationship.
(i) To show that a piecewise function is continuous at a point, we need to show that the left hand and right hand limit "agree" with each other. In other words, we want:
Now, since we're given the constraints and the equation of each constraint, we notice that 6061^+ is a number that is slightly bigger than 6061. So we use the second equation. Do you see why?
In much the same way, 6061^- is a number that is slightly smaller than 6061. So we use the first equation. Again, do you see why? (Hint: look at the conditions on x for each equation).
So finally, computing each limit means just "plugging" 6061 into their respective equations. That is:
Since your limits match, we say that, at the point x = 6061, T(x) IS continuous.
(ii) Repeat the process above with x = 32473.
(iii) Find a point of discontinuity just means your right hand and left hand limits do not match -- I'm not an economist, so I may not be of much help with the latter part of the question!
