A store manager wishes to find out whether there is a relationship between the age of her employees and the number of sick days they take each year. The data for the sample follow. Test the hypothesis at α =0.05. Use Table I.
| Age, x | 18 | 26 | 39 | 48 | 53 | 58 |
| Days, y | 16 | 12 | 9 | 5 | 6 | 2 |
Find the correlation coefficient (r).
| a. |
-0.979 |
|
| b. |
0.979 |
|
| c. |
0.911 |
|
| d. |
-0.911 |
he critical values are:
| a. |
±0.811 |
|
| b. |
±0.878 |
|
| c. |
±0.754 |
|
| d. |
±0.707 |
When x is equal to 47 years, y' is equal to:
| a. |
At α = 0.05, r is not significant and the regression line should not be computed. |
|
| b. |
Approximately 4 days. |
|
| c. |
Approximately 6 days. |

| b | -0.3165 |
| a | 21.100 |
Correlation coefficient = r = -0.979
Critical values are = +/-0.811
x = 47 then 
is equal to
= 21 - 0.3165 * 47
= 6.1245
