In: Statistics and Probability
Ten corvettes between 1 and 6 years old were randomly selected from the classified ads of The Arizona Republic. The following data were obtained, where x denotes age, in years, and y denotes price, in hundreds of dollars.
X: 6 6 6 2 2 5 4 5 1 4
Y: 270 260 275 405 364 295 335 308 405 305
(A) Draw a scatter diagram
(B) Find the Linear Correlation coefficient r.
(C) Describe the shape, strength, and direction.
(D) Does a linear relationship exist
(E) between the age of a corvette and its price? (use the critical value to explain)
(F) If appropriate, explain the slope in context.
(G) If appropriate, explain the y-intercept in context.
(H) Predict the price of a one-year-old corvette.
(I) Find the Residual of a one-year-old corvette.
