Solve the following
1.) The following data were obtained in a study of the relationship between the weight and chest size of infants at birth.

Chest Size
Weight (lbs)
(cm)

5.64 29.5
4.41 26.3
9.0 32.2
11.32 36.5
7.08 27.2
8.86 27.7
4.74 28.3
8.82 30.3
7.61 28.7

a.) Determine the degree of relationship between the weight and chest size of infants at birth
b.) Is there a significant relationship between the weight and chest size of infants at birth? (Use 0.05 level of significance)

Ans: a.) r = + 0.77

b.) t = 3.193

2.) The following data represent the Statistics grades for a random sample of 12 freshmen-nursing students of OLFU along with their IQ
score.

a.) Construct the scatter diagram.

b.) Compute and interpret the sample correlation coefficient.
c.) Test the null hypothesis that there is no significant relationship between the IQ score and the Statistics grade at 0.05 level of
significance.
