Linear Correlation

1. Listed below are baseball team statistics, consisting of the proportions of wins and the result of this difference: Difference (number of runs scored) - (number of runs allowed). The statistics are from a recent year, and the teams are NY—Yankees, Toronto, Boston, Cleveland, Texas, Houston, San Francisco, and Kansas City.

Construct a scatter plot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r, and find the critical values of r from Table VI, Appendix A, p. A-14, of your textbook Elementary Statistics.
Use α = 0.05.
Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between the proportion of wins and the above difference?

The null hypothesis is = 0 which shows the linear correlation is not significant.
The alternative hypothesis where it is using the p-value: p-value =2p(t>test statistic) =2p(t>3.9833) =2[1-p(t 3.9833)] =2(0.005248) =0.010496
Clearly this shows that the p-value is less than 0.05 which shows the linear relationship is not significant.

3. Given below is a control chart for the temperature of a freezer unit in a restaurant. The owner of the restaurant is deciding whether or not to buy a new unit. The two charts display the temperature for the past two weeks. Write a paragraph analyzing the control charts and argue whether the owner should buy a new unit or not. (5-6 sentences).
I would counsel the owner to purchase the new unit. The two charts below show a large variation in temperatures. When storing food for freshness large variations in temperature over time can allow bacteria growth and cause food spoilage. The large warm spike in week 2 is particularly concerning. As a restaurant owner I would not trust the food stored under these conditions nor would I risk serving it to my customers.

    1. Looking at SCORE variable, the skewness is -0.0511422 and excess kurtosis is 0.208336. For the normal distribution, skewness is zero. Since the skewness for SCORE variable is negative, this indicates that the distribution is skewed to the left (the long tail will be in the negative direction). For the normal distribution, kurtosis is three. So K-3 measures excess kurtosis. Since the excess kurtosis for SCORE variable is positive, the distribution is leptokurtic (it has thick tails as compared to the normal distribution.…

    For this exercise I had to interact with a friend and find out about a recent emotional experience. One that did not necessarily need counselling but one which has aroused different feelings. During this interaction I was to try and make all my responses reflections and ask no questions. The idea of this was a little daunting as through-out ones life we are taught or learn conversations with a dictated question and answer scenario. We believe that we must ask question to show that we are infact listening, paying attention and are interested. Initially I had to start the conversation by asking a question as otherwisw the interaction would not of started so one this question was out of the way it left my friend to talk about the issue which had caused some emotional upset. I found it hard to begin with to not encourage her to continue when she paused as I really wanted to fill the gap with a question. This was not necessarily needed but it was that I was worried that she did not think I was involved within the interaction and I was wondering what she was thinking and feeling. Was she uncomfortable speaking? Did she feel I was paying attention? However remembering my role was to reflect I began to try and clarify and restate what she was saying rather than ask a direct question. This was really helpful and I found that she would explain and back up things which she had previously talked about. This greatly increased my understanding of the issue, but I felt it also helped to clarify her thoughts and maybe how she viewed the situation now. I also felt that by restating what she had said helped to reassure her that I was willing to attend to her point of view and needs. I tried to respond to what I believed was personal to her rather than the impersonal, distant or abstract feelings which she displayed. Restating and clarifying was definately working as this I feel did help me not to ask questions but…

    The correlation shows the value of .813. This indicates that there is a strong (positive) linear relationship between BMI and daily vibration exposure A (8). The p-value, denoted by “Sig. (2-tailed)”, is .000. If the correlation is 0 in the population, then there's a 0% chance of finding the correlation we found in our sample. The null hypothesis is often rejected if p < .05. We conclude that the correlation is not 0 in the population (we now expect it to be somewhere near .813).…
