Questions from Essentials of Statistics

Q: Suppose that, for a sample of pairs of observations from two

Suppose that, for a sample of pairs of observations from two variables, the linear correlation coefficient, r, is positive. Does this result necessarily imply that the variables are positively linearl...

Q: Suppose that, for a sample of pairs of observations from two

Suppose that, for a sample of pairs of observations from two variables, the linear correlation coefficient, r, is negative. Does this result necessarily imply that the variables are negatively linearl...

Q: Is ρ a parameter or a statistic? What about r?

Is ρ a parameter or a statistic? What about r? Explain your answers.

Q: We have presented simple qualitative data set for practicing the concepts.

We have presented simple qualitative data set for practicing the concepts. For data set, a. determine a frequency distribution. b. obtain a relative-frequency distribution. c. draw a pie chart. d. con...

Q: If ρ = 0, then the two variables under consideration are

If ρ = 0, then the two variables under consideration are linearly.

Q: If two variables are positively linearly correlated, one of the variables

If two variables are positively linearly correlated, one of the variables tends to increase as the other.

Q: If two variables are linearly correlated, one of the variables tends

If two variables are linearly correlated, one of the variables tends to decrease as the other increases.

Q: We repeat the data and specify an alternative hypothesis for a correlation

We repeat the data and specify an alternative hypothesis for a correlation t-test. For each exercise, decide, at the 10% significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to reject the...
