h0  :There is a statistical correlation between the temperatures in two different Michigan cities.

What relationships exist between the data sets? Are they significant and why?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Here we are to test the presense of correlation between the temperatures of two different Michigan cities.

If be the correlation coefficient between the temperatures of the two cities.

We are to test the hypothesis :

                           versus

If r be the sample correlation coeffecient and n be the sample size which is 10.

The appropriate test statistic would be :

           

Now, t follows t-distribution with (n-2) degrees of freedom.

We shall reject our null hypothesis if our observed t > t;n-2

  • Our sample correlation r=0.906788 from which we may conclude that linear relationship exists between the data sets.

Accordingly, t=0.906788 * sqrt(10-2) / sqrt(1-0.9067882)

                    = 6.0836

If our chosen level of significance

t0.05,8 =1.860

Clearly , Observed t > t0.05,8

So, we reject our null hypothesis at 5% level of significance and conclude that the temperature in the two cities are significantly correlated.
