Solve the following
1.) The following data were obtained in a study of the relationship between the weight and chest size of infants at
birth.

Chest Size
Weight (lbs)
(cm)

5.64 29.5
4.41 26.3
9.0 32.2
11.32 36.5
7.08 27.2
8.86 27.7
4.74 28.3
8.82 30.3
7.61 28.7

a.) Determine the degree of relationship between the weight and chest size of infants at birth
b.) Is there a significant relationship between the weight and chest size of infants at birth? (Use 0.05 level of
significance)Use the classical method
c.) Determine the Regression Equation if applicable.

Ans: a.) r = + 0.77

b.) t = 3.193
c.) y=31.216

2.) The following data represent the Statistics grades for a random sample of 12 freshmen-nursing students of OLFU along
with their IQ score.

a.) Construct the scatter diagram.

b.) Compute and interpret the sample correlation coefficient.
c.) Test the null hypothesis that there is no significant relationship between the IQ score and the Statistics grade at 0.05
level of significance. Use the P-approach method.

Problem No:_________

A. Compute for Coefficient of r

Let x __________________________________
be the weight of infants at birth
Y be
_________________________________
the chest size of infants at birth

9
n= _________
∑x =_____________
67.48 ∑y =_____________
266.7
∑xy =____________
2041.136 ∑x2 =_____________
547.1982
∑y2 =_____________
7890.83

r =__________________
+0.77

Analysis & Interpretation of r:

______________________________________________________________________________________________
By computing the value of r and using the table of relationship for the value of r. it shows that the result belongs
______________________________________________________________________________________________
to the High Positive Relationship because the value is +0.77 in between the values of 0.71 -0.90, Therefore, there
___________________________
is a high relationship between the chest size and the weight of the infants at birth.

B. Test the significance of r.

Steps:
1:Ho:Ρ=0(_________DeclarativeForm _________ ________________________________________)
Ha:Ρ≠0(_________DeclarativeForm______________________________________________________________)

2: Level of significance: α = ___________

0.05
3: Test Statistic: 3.193

4: Define the area of rejection :(Shade the critical region/s and indicate the critical value/s or tabular value/s)

Decision Rule:
Reject Ho if the computed value is <-1.833 or >1.833 Otherwise, do not reject Ho.
