- Researchers wondered whether the size of a person's brain was related to the individual's mental capacity. They selected a sample of 3 females and 3 males and measured their MRI counts and IQ scores. The data is reported on the right.

Compute the linear correlation coefficient between MRI count and IQ for both the males and the females. Do you believe that MRI count and IQ are linearly related? The linear correlation coefficient for females is. The linear correlation coefficient for males is. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Are MRI count and IQ linearly related? linear The linear correlation coefficient for females is close to ▼so relation exists between MRI count and IQ for females. The linear correlation coefficient for linear relation exists between MRI count and IQ males is close to for males.

A second survey asked the same questions to a random sample of 2253 Canadian teens. In these two studies, 73% of U.S. teens and 88% of Canadian teens said that they use Instagram. Use these results to answer the following questions about the proportion of U.S. and Canadian teens that use Instagram. Is there a statistically significant difference between the use of social media by U.S. teens and Canadian teens? No, there is no difference between the proportion of U.S. teens that use Instagram and the proportion of Canadian teens that use Instagram because both the lower limit and the upper limit of the confidence interval are negative values. Yes, the proportion of U.S. teens that use Instagram is significantly less than the proportion of Canadian teens that use Instagram difference because both…arrow_forwardA consumer group wanted to determine if there was a difference in customer perceptions about prices for a specific type of toy depending on where the toy was purchased. In the local area there are three main retailers: W-Mart, Tag, and URToy. For each retailer, the consumer group randomly selected 5 customers, and asked them to rate how expensive they thought the toy was on a 1-to-10 scale (1= not expensive, to 10 = very expensive). The toy was priced the same at all retail stores. Compute the percentage of variance explained by the group differences for these data. Q: Percentage and variance explained = ?arrow_forward

To test her claim she randomly selects 313 female factory workers and out of them 48 could not speak English. She then randomly selects 400 male factory workers and out of them 43 could not speak English. Test her claim at a=0.05 to see if she was right. The correct hypotheses are: O Ho:PF Рм (сclaim) O Ho:PF 2 PM HA:PF < PM(claim) O Ho:PF = pM HA:PF + PM(claim) Since the level of significance is 0.10 the critical value is -1.282 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places) The decision can be made to: O reject Ho O do not reject Ho The final conclusion is that: O There is enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportion female factory workers who can't speak English is less than the proportion of male factory workers who can't speak…arrow_forward
