6.A random sample of two variables, x and y, produced the following observations:

Test to determine whether the population correlation coefficient is negative. Use a significance level of 0.05 for the hypothesis test.

A.Because t =-4.152 < -1.9432, reject the null hypothesis. Because the null hypothesis is rejected, the sample data does support the hypothesis that there is a negative linear relationship between x and y.

B.Because t =-4.152 <  -1.9432, do not reject the null hypothesis. Because the null hypothesis is not rejected, the sample data support the hypothesis that there is a negative linear relationship between x and y.

C.Because t =-4.152 <  -1.9432, do not reject the null hypothesis. Because the null hypothesis is not rejected, the sample data support the hypothesis that there is a negative linear relationship between x and y.

D.Because t =-9.895 < -1.9432, reject the null hypothesis. Because the null hypothesis is rejected, the sample data does support the hypothesis that there is a negative linear relationship between x and y.

11.State University recently randomly sampled ten students and analyzed grade point average (GPA) and number of hours worked off-campus per week. The following data were observed:

The correlation between these two variables is approximately -.461

True/False?

12.In a university statistics course a correlation of -0.8 was found between numbers of classes missed and course grade. This means that the fewer classes students missed, the higher the grade.

True/False?

13.Two variables have a correlation coefficient that is very close to zero. This means that there is no relationship between the two variables.

True/False?

14.The following regression model has been computed based on a sample of twenty observations: = 34.2 + 19.3x. The first observations in the sample for y and x were 300 and 18, respectively. Given this, the residual value for the first observation is approximately 81.6.

True/False?

15.A bank is interested in determining whether its customers’ checking balances are linearly related to their savings balances. A sample of n = 20 customers was selected and the correlation was calculated to be +0.40. If the bank is interested in testing to see whether there is a significant linear relationship between the two variables using a significance level of 0.05, the value of the test statistic is approximately t =1.8516.

true/False?

16.A correlation of -0.9 indicates a weak linear relationship between the variables.

True/False?

17.If the correlation between two variables is known to be statistically significant at the 0.05 level, then the regression slope coefficient will also be significant at the 0.05 level.

True/False?

18.An industry study was recently conducted in which the sample correlation between units sold and marketing expenses was 0.57. The sample size for the study included 15 companies. Based on the sample results, test to determine whether there is a significant positive correlation between these two variables. Use an alpha = 0.05

A.Because t = 2.50 > 1.7709, reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude there is a positive linear relationship between sales units and marketing expense for companies in this industry

B.Because t = 3.13 > 1.7709, reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude there is a positive linear relationship between sales units and marketing expense for companies in this industry.

C.Because t = 3.13 > 1.7709, reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude there is a positive linear relationship between sales units and marketing expense for companies in this industry.

D.Because t = 2.50 > 1.7709, do not reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude there is a positive linear relationship between sales units and marketing expense for companies in this industry.

19.In developing a scatter plot, the decision maker has the option of connecting the points or not.

True/False?

20.If two variables are highly correlated, it not only means that they are linearly related, it also means that a change in one variable will cause a change in the other variable.

True/False?

21.A research study has stated that the taxes paid by individuals is correlated at a .78 value with the age of the individual. Given this, the scatter plot would show points that would fall on straight line on a slope equal to .78.
