A. COMPUTE THE COEFFICIENT OF CORRELATION. CONDUCT A TEST OF HYPOTHESIS TO DETERMINE IF IT IS REASONABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT THE POPULATION CORRELATION IS GREATER THAN ZERO. USE A .05 LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE.
B. DEVELOP A REGRESSION EQUATION OF PROFITABILITY BASED ON GROWTH. COMMENT ON THE SLOPE VALUE.
C. USE A SOFTWARE PACKAGE TO DETERMINE THE RESIDUAL FOR EACH OBSERVATION. WHICH COMPANY HAS THE LARGEST RESIDUAL?

A. COMPUTE THE CORRELATION COEEFICIENT. IS IT REASONABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT THE CORRELATION IN THE POPULATION IS GREATER THAN ZERO? USE A .05 LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE.
B. HOW MUCH DOES EACH ADDITIONAL TEN POUNDS OF WEIGHT CHANGE THE ESTIMATED NUMBER OF CUPS OF DOG FOOD CONSUMED?
C. IS ONE OF THE DOGS A BIG UNDEREATER OR OVEREATER?
