Stat CorrelationRegressionExer Stud

The document outlines two statistical analyses: correlation analysis of the relationship between fiber diameter and breaking strength, and regression analysis of the relationship between bread price and loaves sold. It includes hypotheses, test statistics, decision rules, and data for computations. Additionally, it prompts for scatter plot construction, regression equation development, and predictions based on price changes.

Correlation Analysis

1. A manufacturer of cloth wants to be able to express the relationship between the breaking strength of a synthetic fiber
(grams) and the diameter of the fiber (centimeters). The following data result from a study made of this relationship.
Diameter (x) 0.0 0.025 0.028 0.0 0.035
2 3
Breaking Strength (y) 49 80 140 125 199
Solution:

2. The production supervisor of a certain container company is convinced of the need to assign strenuous jobs according to
age. He randomly selects 10 workers and measures the amount of time they are able to maintain a strenuous loading
activity. He obtains the following sample data:
Worker 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Age 42 27 3 25 2 39 5 19 3 30
6 2 7 3
Strenuous 2 7 5 9 1 4 4 8 6 5
Minute 0
Solution:

Ho: ____________________

Test statistic: ______________________________
Decision rule: Reject Ho if ____________________

Regression Analysis

The owner of a local grocery store varied the price of a half-kilo loaf of bread for six consecutive weeks. The following data
show the price per loaf and the number of loaves sold that week:
Price (x) $0.60 $0.62 $0.58 $0.6 $0.64 $0.62
0
Loaves Sold 220 200 280 250 190 240
(y)
a. Construct the scatter plot of the data.
b. Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the number of loaves sold given the price.
c. Calculate and interpret the coefficient of determination r2.
d. Predict the number of loaves sold at a price of $0.63.
e. Use the estimated regression equation to predict the number of loaves sold at a price of $0.64. How close does this
predicted value come to the number of loaves the grocer actually sold at a price of $0.64?
