3.6.46-t consider the following sample data for two variables. x 7 8 5 3 9 y 7 5 9 7 7 a. calculate the sample covariance. b. calculate the sample correlation coefficient. c. describe the relationship between x and y. a. s subscript xyequals 0

1. Co-variance= -1.2

2. correlation coefficient= -0.4404

3.  There is weak negative relationship between x and y.

Explanation:

1.

Co-variance= Cov(x,y)= sum[(x-xbar)(y-ybar)]/n

xbar=sumx/n=32/5=6.4

ybar=sumy/n=35/5=7

x 7 8 5 3 9

x-xbar 0.6 1.6 -1.4 -3.4 2.6

y 7 5 9 7 7

y-ybar 0 -2 2 0 0

(x-xbar)(y-ybar) 0 -3.2 -2.8 0 0

Cov(x,y)= sum[(x-xbar)(y-ybar)]/n=-6/5=-1.2

Cov(x,y)=-1.2

2.

correlation coefficient=r

x 7 8 5 3 9

x-xbar 0.6 1.6 -1.4 -3.4 2.6

y 7 5 9 7 7

y-ybar 0 -2 2 0 0

(x-xbar)(y-ybar) 0 -3.2 -2.8 0 0

(x-xbar)² 0.36 2.56 1.96 11.56 6.76

(y-ybar)²  0 4 4 0 0

r=-0.4404

3. Since the value of correlation coefficient is negative and less than 0.5 , so, we can say that there is weak negative relationship between x and y.

the most likely outcome of fewer loon territories is that hawks would increase in proportion because the benefit of victory would be greater. hawks and loons are natural rivals of resources and victories in the game, since the lakes drying up affected the loons, the hawks would be benefited from the drought.
