Question
 
Fifty-four
wild bears were​ anesthetized, and then their weights and chest sizes were measured and listed in a data set. Results are shown in the accompanying display. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the weights of bears and their chest​ sizes? When measuring an anesthetized​ bear, is it easier to measure chest size than​ weight? If​ so, does it appear that a measured chest size can be used to predict the​ weight? Use a significance level of
α=0.05.

​(Type integers or decimals. Do not​ round.)
 
 
 
Identify the correlation​ coefficient, r.
r=_____
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
 
 
Identify the critical​ value(s).
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
A.
There is one critical value at
r=______.
 
B.
There are two critical values at
r=±__________.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the weights of bears and their chest​ sizes? Choose the correct answer below​ and, if​ necessary, fill in the answer box within your choice.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
A.
​Yes, because the absolute value of the test statistic
nothing
exceeds the critical value.
 
B.
​No, because the absolute value of the test statistic
nothing
exceeds the critical value.
 
C.
​Yes, because the test statistic
nothing
falls between the critical values.
 
D.
​No, because the test statistic
nothing
falls between the critical values.
 
E.
The answer cannot be determined from the given information.
 
 
 
 
 
When measuring an anesthetized​ bear, is it easier to measure chest size than​ weight? If​ so, does it appear that a measured chest size can be used to predict the​ weight?
 
 
A.
​Yes, it is easier to measure a chest size than a weight because measuring weight would require lifting the bear onto the scale. The chest size could be used to predict weight because there is a linear correlation between the two.
 
B.
​No, it is easier to measure weight than chest size because the chest is not a flat surface.
 
C.
​Yes, it is easier to measure a chest size than a weight because measuring weight would require lifting the bear onto the scale. The chest size could not be used to predict weight because there is too much variance in the weight of the bears.
 
D.
​Yes, it is easier to measure a chest size than a weight because measuring weight would require lifting the bear onto the scale. The chest size could not be used to predict weight because there is not a linear correlation between the two.
