d. Error range

Homework Answers

Answer #1

a. The correlation coefficient between

Y and X is -0. 722

Y and W is -0. 167

X and W is 0.680

b. Using large sample test for correlation coefficient, the test statistic is

t = r*√(n-2) /√(1-r^2), which follow a t distribution with n-2 degrees of freedom, the p-values for testing three correlation coefficients are given below

Y and X 0.001

Y and W 0.523

X andW 0.003

Therefore, correlation between Y and X, and between X and W are significant.

c. Multiple regression equation is given by

Ye = 155316563 - 96.917X + 2656.154W

d. Error range or the residual range is -14024. 45 to 7967.64.
