You collect data on five friends with regards to their daily income (the dependent variable)and years of education (the independent variable). The data are presented below: Friends | Income | Education Steve | 200 | 16 Amy | 160 | 12 Susan | 190 | 13 Dan | 225 | 14 Melanie | 180 | 15 Using the test statistic formula on the correlation coefficient, what is the value of the test statistic for determining if there is a linear relationship between income and education? Select one: a. 0.412 b. 0.797 c. 0.896 d. 1.083 e. 7.810

A researcher wants to estimate the relationship between years of educational attainment (X) and the average yearly earnings of individuals (Y). For this, he collects data from a random sample of 115 individuals. From this data, he calculates the sample variances (S^2X, S^2Y) and the sample covariance (SXY). If S^2X = 85.23, S^2Y = 170.23, and SXY = 118.10, then the sample correlation coefficient will be ____.

In the study of the relationship between the income (x) and consumption (y) of 5 employments, the data are shown as follows: ΣX = 30, ΣY = 20, ΣXY = 127, ΣX² = 190, ΣY² = 86. The value of the correlation coefficient is

For the following exercises, consider the data in Table 2.18, which shows the percent of unemployed in a city of people 25 years or older who are college graduates is given below, by year. $$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline \text { Year } & {2000} & {2002} & {2005} & {2007} & {2010} \\ \hline \text { Percent Graduates } & {6.5} & {7.0} & {7.4} & {8.2} & {9.0} \\ \hline\end{array}$$ Based on the set of data given in Table 2.20, calculate the regression line using a calculator or other technology tool, and determine the correlation coefficient to three decimal places. $$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline x & {10} & {12} & {15} & {18} & {20} \\ \hline y & {36} & {34} & {30} & {28} & {22} \\ \hline\end{array}$$
