Question
What is the relationship between the number of minutes per day a woman spends talking on the phone and
the woman's weight? The time on the phone and weight for 7 women are shown in the table below.

a. Find the correlation coefficient: r =
Round to 2 decimal places.
b. The null and alternative hypotheses for correlation are:
Ho: ? ▼
Hj: ? v
The p-value is:
(Round to four decimal places)
c. Use a level of significance of a = 0.05 to state the conclusion of the hypothesis test in the context
of the study.
O There is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the
time women spend on the phone and their weight. Thus, the use of the regression line is not
appropriate.
O There is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that a woman who spends more time
on the phone will weigh more than a woman who spends less time on the phone.
O There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that a woman who spends more time on
the phone will weigh more than a woman who spends less time on the phone.
There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the
time women spend on the phone and their weight. Thus, the regression line is useful.
d. r2
(Round to two decimal places)
e. Interpret r? :
O Given any group of women who all weight the same amount, 86% of all of these women will
weigh the predicted amount.
O There is a large variation in women's weight, but if you only look at women with a fixed
weight, this variation on average is reduced by 86%.
O 86% of all women will have the average weight.
O There is a 86% chance that the regression line will be a good predictor for women's weight
based on their time spent on the phone.
f. The equation of the linear regression line is:
x (Please show your answers to two decimal places)
g. Use the model to predict the weight of a woman who spends 36 minutes on the phone.
Weight =
(Please round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
h. Interpret the slope of the regression line in the context of the question:
O For every additional minute women spend on the phone, they tend to weigh on averge 0.90
additional pounds.
O The slope has no practical meaning since you cannot predict a women's weight.
O As x goes up, y goes up.
i. Interpret the y-intercept in the context of the question:
O If a woman does not spend any time talking on the phone, then that woman will weigh 100
pounds.
O The best prediction for the weight of a woman who does not spend any time talking on the
phone is 100 pounds.
The average woman's weight is predicted to be 100.
O The y-intercept has no practical meaning for this study.
