       A MEDICAL RESEARCHER WANTS TO DETERMINE IF A POSITIVE LINEAR RELATIONSHIP EXISTS BETWEEN THE NUMBER OF POUNDS A MALE IS OVERWEIGHT AND HIS BLOOD PRESSURE. HE RANDOMLY SELECTS A SAMPLE OF 10 MALES AND RECORDS THE NUMBER OF POUNDS THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS OVER HIS IDEAL WEIGHT ACORDING TO A MEDICAL WEIGHT CHART AND HIS SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE. SAMPLE DATA IS LISTED HERE-IN

Answer #1

3.

X Values
∑ = 138
Mean = 13.8
∑(X - Mx)2 = SSx = 355.6

Y Values
∑ = 1438
Mean = 143.8
∑(Y - My)2 = SSy = 1545.6

X and Y Combined
N = 10
∑(X - Mx)(Y - My) = 462.6

R Calculation
r = ∑((X - My)(Y - Mx)) / √((SSx)(SSy))

r = 462.6 / √((355.6)(1545.6)) = 0.624

Hence we see that there is positive correlation between NUMBER OF POUNDS A MALE IS OVERWEIGHT AND HIS BLOOD PRESSURE.

But as it lies near 0.50, so it is moderate
