A study of bone density on 5 random women at a hospital produced the following results.
Age | 33 | 37 | 41 | 53 | 57 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bone Density | 360 | 355 | 340 | 32 | 310 |
a) Calculate the coefficient of determination, r2. Round to 3 decimals.
b) Determine if r is statistically significant at the 0.05 level.
c) Calculate the correlation coefficient, r. Round to 3 decimals.
Solution-
a) Calculate the coefficient of determination, r2.
r2 = 0.351 ( rounded )
b) Determine if r is statistically significant at the 0.05 level.
P-value for r = -0.592 at 0.05 level
P = 0.2929
where, P-value is greater than significance level.
Hence, r is Not statistically significant
c) Calculate the correlation coefficient, r.
r = -0.592. ( rounded )
