Question

For a sample of eight bears, researchers measured the distances around the bears' chests and weighed the bears. Minitab was used to find that the value of the linear correlation coefficient is r= 0.925 Using ?-0.05 determine i here is a near correlation between ches size and weigh? ha ro rt on of e arati in eight can be explained by the linear relationship between weight and chest size? a. Is there a linear correlation between chest size and weight? A. Yes, because the absolute value of the test statistic exceeds the critical value of 0.707 B. Yes, because the test statistic falls between the critical values of 0.707 and 0.707. 0.707 tals between the crtical values of -0.70 C. No, because the absolute value of the test statistic exceeds the critical value of 0.707. O D. The answer cannot be determined from the given information b. What proportion of the variation in weight can be explained by the linear relationship between weight and chest size? (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

b)

proportion of variation in weight can be explained by linear relationship between weight and chest size

=coefficient of determination=(r2)=(0.925)2 =0.856
