Part I. Analyze Data
Instructions
Answers
1. Open the file Car Measurements using menu option Datasets and then Elementary Stats, 13th Edition. This file contains information on a number of measurements related to cars. How many observations are there in this file? Look at the number of rows of data and the number of variables.
21 observations
10 Variables

6. Would you consider this data to represent a sample or a population? Why?
I would consider this data as a sample. Because it has only 21 observations, which is low.
Part II. ScatterPlots
7. Create a scatterplot for the data in the Length (inches) and Braking distance (feet) columns. Paste it here. You may need to resize the plot once it is in this file.
8. Explain the visual relationship between Length and Braking distance. Is the relationship positive or negative, based on the scatter of points around the line, is the correlation weak, moderate or strong?
The relationship between length and braking distance is significantly moderate and positive.
9. Create a scatterplot for the data in Displacement (liters) and Highway (MPG) columns. Paste it here. You may need to resize the plot once it is in this file.
10. Explain the visual relationship between Displacement and Highway MPG. Is the relationship positive or negative, based on the scatter of points around the line, is the correlation weak, moderate or strong?
The relationship between Displacement and highway MPG is significantly negative.
Strong reletionaship.
Part III. Correlation
11.Using Statdisk, calculate the linear correlation between the...
