We also need to know the strength of the association. increases. Question 2 1 / 1 pts Data was collected on homes for sale in Madison County as of January 2011. Information on the listings such as price, size of the home, and style were recorded. The data are recorded in MadisonCountyRealE . Create a scatterplot of the price of homes (ListPrice) compared with how old the homes are (Age). Select the answer that best describes the data illustrated in the scatterplot. Linear with a moderate negative association. Linear with a moderate positive association. Linear with a strong negative association. Nonlinear Use the following information to answer the next 2 questions. Researchers studying healthy body composition recorded various measurements of 252 male subjects. Height, weight, age, and other measurements were collected on each subject. The data are recorded in BodyMeasurementsC . For this exercise we will look at the height of the subjects compared with the weight. This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :03:02 GMT -06:00 Question 3 1 / 1 pts Compute the sample correlation coefficient of the height compared with the weight. Give your answer accurate to three decimal places. (Example: 0.987) 0.487 Question 4 1 / 1 pts Create a scatterplot using these two variables. Using this scatterplot and referring to the correlation coefficient above, select the answer that best describes the data illustrated in the scatterplot. Linear with a moderate negative association. Linear with a moderate positive association. Linear with a strong negative association. Nonlinear Ques 1 / 1 pts tion 5 The entrance rate into a prestigious university's graduate program is 13%. A statistics student wants to know if the entrance rate of applicants from BYU-Idaho is greater than the typical entrance rate. He decides to conduct a hypothesis test of one proportion to determine whether the entrance rate of BYU-Idaho students into the graduate program is higher than 13%. He randomly selects 60 students who have applied and records whether or not each student was admitted. Were the requirements for the hypothesis test met? Explain. Yes. There were more than 5 measurements. Yes. There were more than 30 measurements. Yes. np≥10 and n(1−p)≥10. Yes. Sample proportions always follow a normal distribution.
