27. Correlation Using the scatter plot of the registered nurse salary data shown below, what type of correlation, if any, do you think the data have? Explain.
"
"Predicting y-Values In Exercises 3-6, use the multiple regression equation to predict the y-values for the values of the independent variables.
6. Elephant Weight The equation used to predict the weight of an elephant (in kilograms) is
y =- 4016+11.5x_1+7.55x_2+12.5x_3
where x_1 represents the girth of the elephant (in centimeters), x_2 represents the length of the elephant (in centimeters), and x_3 represents the circumference of a footpad (in
centimeters). (Source: Field Trip Earth)
a. x_1 = 421, x_2 = 224, x_3 = 144
b. x_1 = 311, x_2 = 171, x_3 = 102
c. x_1 = 376, x_2 = 226, x_3 = 124
d. x_1 =231, x_2 = 135, x_3 = 86"
"In Exercises 19-22, two variables are given that have been shown to have correlation but no cause-and-effect relationship. Describe at least one possible reason for the correlation.
22. Marriage rate in Kentucky and number of deaths caused by falling out of a fishing boat"
8. In your own words, what does it mean to say "correlation does not imply causation"? List a pair of variables that have correlation but no cause-and-effect relationship.
In Exercise 25, remove the data for the international soccer player with a maximum weight of 170 kilograms and a jump height of 64 centimeters. Describe how this affects the correlation coefficient r.
"In Exercises 7-12, match the description in the left column with its symbol(s) in the right column.
12. The point a regression line always passes through
a. \(\hat{y}\)_i
b. y_i
c. b
d. (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\))
e. m
f. \(\bar{y}\)"
