I already have the answers for the first three problems which I understand. Can you please help on the remaining questions as our professor is not helpful at all? I am having a hard time understanding some of this.


A biologist looked at the relationship between number of seeds a plant produces and the percent of those seeds that sprout. The results of the survey are shown below.





























Seeds Produced
6057404445585448

Sprout Percent
5453.26559.46649.851.464.8



  1. Find the correlation coefficient:  r=r=    Round to 2 decimal places.

  2. The null and alternative hypotheses for correlation are:
    H0:H0:      == 0
    H1:H1:       ≠≠ 0
    The p-value is:    (Round to four decimal places)




  3. Use a level of significance of α=0.05α=0.05 to state the conclusion of the hypothesis test in the context of the study.



    • There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the number of seeds that a plant produces and the percent of the seeds that sprout. Thus, the regression line is useful.

    • There is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the number of seeds that a plant produces and the percent of the seeds that sprout. Thus, the use of the regression line is not appropriate.

    • There is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that a plant that produces more seeds will have seeds with a lower sprout rate than a plant that produces fewer seeds.

    • There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that a plant that produces more seeds will have seeds with a lower sprout rate than a plant that produces fewer seeds.




  4.  r2r2 =  (Round to two decimal places)

  5.  Interpret r2r2 :


    • There is a large variation in the percent of seeds that sprout, but if you only look at plants that produce a fixed number of seeds, this variation on average is reduced by 73%.

    • 73% of all plants produce seeds whose chance of sprouting is the average chance of sprouting.

    • Given any group of plants that all produce the same number of seeds, 73% of all of these plants will produce seeds with the same chance of sprouting.

    • There is a 73% chance that the regression line will be a good predictor for the percent of seeds that sprout based on the number of seeds produced.




  6. The equation of the linear regression line is:
    ˆyy^ =  + xx   (Please show your answers to two decimal places.
