1. Suppose the following table represents a SRS of hospitals enrolled in a study looking at the relationship between number of beds, and number of physicians working full time at the facility. Number of Beds (X) | Number of Physicians Employed Full Time (Y) 589 | 948 517 | 931 354 | 684 512 | 846 366 | 602 597 | 987 644 | 962 A) Calculate basic descriptive statistics for both your X and Y variables. (Mean, standard deviations). (3 points) B) Calculate a correlation coefficient describing the relationship between number of beds and number of full time physicians employed at a SRS of hospitals. (1 points) C) Interpret your results (1 points)

Compute the correlation coefficient for the data below, saved as Chapter 5 Data Set 2, and interpret the coefficient. We are examining the relationship between the number of years of training that doctors have and their success using a certain procedure, with the doctors being evaluated on a scale from 1 to 10 where 1 is very successful and 10 is not successful. In other words, the lower the score on the second variable, the more successful the doctor is using the procedure. Years of Training Successful Outcomes 1 9 9 1 1 8 4 7 3 6 3 7 7 9 9 5 7 5 6 6 6 7 1 4 4
