For a sample of 25 monthly observations, a financial analyst wants to regress the percentage
rate of return (Y) of the common stock of a corporation on the percentage rate of return ( X)
of standard and Poor’s 500 Index. The following information is available:

a. Compute the sample correlation coefficient and interpret your answer. ( 3 marks)
b. Test to determine the significance of the linear relationship between X and Y. ( 4 marks)
c. Estimate the linear regression of Y on X, and interpret your results. Hence write the
regression line and estimate Y when X is 8%. ( 3marks)

A simple random sample of 25 observations will be taken from a population that is assumed to be normal with a standard deviation of 37. We would like to test the alternative hypothesis that the standard deviation is actually more than 37. If the sample standard deviation is 40 or more, then the null hypothesis will be rejected (this called a decision rule). What significance level would this decision rule cause? If the population standard deviation is really 42, what...

Bird’s data analyst wants to model the sample mean and sample variance of net revenue of scooters. They plan to take a random sample of 25 of its scooters in Austin. They will record weekly net revenue brought in by each scooter. They decide it is reasonable to assume that weekly revenue of scooters is approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of $50 (variance of 2,500 squared dollars). Find values a and b such that (i) the probability is...

A random sample of n = 25 observations is taken from a N(µ, σ ) population. A 95% confidence interval for µ was calculated to be (42.16, 57.84). The researcher feels that this interval is too wide. You want to reduce the interval to a width at most 12 units. a) For a confidence level of 95%, calculate the smallest sample size needed. b) For a sample size fixed at n = 25, calculate the largest confidence level 100(1 −...

Bird’s data analyst wants to model the sample mean distance of scooter rides. They plan to take a random sample of 41 scooter rides and to record the distance traveled on each ride (distance before the rider “releases” the scooter and the charge is processed). They decide it is reasonable to assume that the distribution of distances is approximately normal, but they don’t know the variance of the distribution. In the sample, the mean is 0.54 mile and the standard...

A quality analyst wants to construct a sample mean chart for controlling a packaging process. He knows from past experience that whenever this process is in control, package weight is normally distributed with a mean of 20 ounces and a standard deviation of two ounces.
