Question 823713: From a sample of 8 bears, researchers measured the distances around the bears' chest and weighed the bears. The correlation coefficient is r=0.885/ alpha=0.05, determine if there is a linear correlation between chest size and weight.What proportion of the variation in weight can be explained by the linear relationship between wight and chest size?
a.) Is there a linear correlation between chest size and weight?
A.)Yes, because the test statistic falls between the critical value of -0.707.
B.)Yes, because the absolute value of the test statistic exceeds the critical value of 0.707.
C.) No, because the absoulute value of the test statistic exceeds the critical value of 0.707.
D.) The answer cannot be determined from the given information. \
B.) What proportion f the variation in weight can be explained by the linear relationship between weight and chest size? Answer by oscargut(2103) (Show Source):
