- Cost Behavior and Correlation Analysis PC's total maintenance cost for the past 10 months is Php50,000.00. Some of the maintenance activity appears related to the operation of machinery, and the accountant wants to determine whether machine hours should be used as a basis upon which to estimate maintenance cost at various levels of capacity. Machine hours for the same period totalled 40,000 hours. The machine hour differences from average multiplied by the maintenance cost differences from its average and summed E(x¡ – x)(yi – ỹ) is 2,400. The machine hour differences from average squared and summed E(x¡ –x)² is 6,250, and the maintenance cost differences from average squared and summed E(yi – y)² is 1,000. Required: 1. Compute the coefficient of correlation, r, and the coefficient of determination,r2, for maintenance cost and machine hours. 2. Compute the variable maintenance cost per machine hour, using the method of least squares. 3. Compute the fixed maintenance cost, using the…arrow_forward8.

This test is a simple statistical test to evaluate the amount of deviation from the expected equal frequency ratio in cach class The chi-square test can be used to test any ratio goodness of fit. The calculated chi-square value is obtained by the formula: X =E (O-E)/E. Where, O- observed number on the actual cross; observed value E- calculated or expected frequency (from the corresponding theoretical cross) E- summation symbol which means that you'll have to perform a calculation for every single data item in your data set.

- You are a robotics engineer working for a large tech company. For one of your artificially intelligent robots, you are looking to see if the size of the data file used to train the robot is predictive of the time the robot takes to complete a maze. You are going to collect a random sample of 9 attempts at completing the maze. You will note for each attempt the size of the data file (denoted by x, in MB) and the time (denoted by y, in seconds) to complete the maze. You will also note the product x'y of the size of the data file and the completion time for each attempt. (These products are written in the row 画 labeled "xy").
