1) Make a logical guess about the correlations between the following pairs of variables by completing the
sentences with either increases, decreases, or no correlation. Then, if there is a correlation, indicate whether it
is positive or negative.
Positive, negative,
or no correlation?

i. increases
As height increases, weight ____________________. positive
____________________

ii. increases
As at-bats increase, the number of hits ____________________. positive
____________________

iii. no correlation
As hair length increases, shoe size ____________________. no correlation
____________________

iv. increases
As temperature decreases, snowfall ____________________. negative
____________________

2) For the following strong correlations, write if they are linear or non-linear.

linear
___________ linear
__________ hyperbolic
__________ parabolic
___________

3) For the following linear correlations, write if they are positive or negative AND if they are weak or strong.

________________ Positive
________________ Positive
_________________ Negative

4) A group of foxes is living on a farm. The farmer wants to know how many foxes will be on the farm in the future.
He knows that the fox population can be modeled with the following exponential equation:
𝑝 = 1.8(2.9)𝑡 where p is the population after t years. About how many foxes can the farmer expect to be on
the farm 5 years from now?

i. # of foxes (population)
p represents ____________________________.

ii. # of years (t)


t represents ____________________________.

iii. 5
To do this problem, you need to plug in _________________________ P
to solve for _________________.

The answer is:


A. 960
B. 522
C. 3875
D. 370

5) Fill in the blanks on the number line showing the spectrum of correlation coefficients.

a b c d e
a
_________ negative b
__________ negative No correlation d
_________ positive e
__________ positive

6) For the numbers a, b, c, d, and e marked on the number line above, describe the strength (weak or strong) and

direction (positive or negative) of a scatterplot with that correlation coefficient.

a. ___________________________________

b. __________________________________

c. __________________________________

d. __________________________________

e. __________________________________
7)

a. Using the scatterplot above, find the equation of the least squares regression line and the correlation

coefficient. Hint: you must write every point in an x-y table.

b. How sure are you that you can exactly predict the performance rating of an employee from the least

squares regression line you found above?

A. Definitely; I will be able to get the exact number

B. Probably; I can make a good estimation

C. Unlikely; I would not get an incorrect estimation

D. Not at all; I cannot make a prediction from the line


8)

a. Given the scatter plot above, how big of a diamond could you expect to buy if you spent $700?

b. How much would you have to spend if you wanted a diamond that was 0.30 carats?

9)

Using the scatterplot above, find the equation of the least squares regression line and the correlation
coefficient.
