6 stepsHere are the solutions to your questions.
Part i
Plot the scattered diagram for the data
To plot a scattered diagram, you will represent each pair of data points as a single point on a graph. Let the Advert cost () be on the horizontal axis and Sales () be on the vertical axis.
The data points are:
- (6, 21)
- (10, 28)
- (12, 34)
- (11, 31)
- (13, 40)
Plot these five points on a coordinate plane. The resulting graph will show the relationship between advert cost and sales.
Part ii
Determine the sample correlation coefficient ()
Calculate the necessary sums.
Let be Advert cost and be Sales.
The number of data points is .
Apply the formula for the sample correlation coefficient.
The formula for is:
Substitute the calculated sums into the formula.
