Module 6: Correlation and Regression
A For the supermodel dataset at the right, treat height as the explanatory variable and weight as the response variable. (Data set is given in the excel file)
1 Is there a significant correlation? Show the null hypothesis, df and the test you used.
yes/no
null hypothesis
df
test

2 If the correlation is significant:
a slope
intercept
line equation
b What proportion of the variation in y is explained by variation in x?

c What is the appropriate hypothesis to test the slope?

d What is the confidence interval for the slope?

e What can you conclude about the slope?

f What is the predicted value (yhat) when x=69?

B For the female dataset at the right, treat weight (WT) as the explanatory variable and body mass index (BMI) as the response variable. (Data set is given in the excel file)
1 Is there a significant correlation? Show the null hypothesis, df and the test you used.
