Nasa performed aerodynamic and acoustic tests of two and three-dimensional airfoil blade sections. these tests were conducted in an anechoic wind tunnel. one input (x) measured was the free-stream velocity, in meters per second. the output (y ) was scaled sound pressure level, in decibels. from this data, we found the following values: µx = 50.86; µy = 124.8; σxy = 13.44; σx = 15.57; σy = 6.90. (a) find the value of the correlation coefficient to 3 decimals. (b) is the linear relationship / association between x and y strong, weak, or is there no relationship? (c) is there a positive linear relationship, negative linear relationship, or no linear relationship?

a) ρ (X,Y) = 0.125

b)  The linear relationship is weak because ρ (X,Y) is almost 0

c) There is a positive linear relationship because ρ (X,Y) > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pearson correlation coefficient is calculate as :

ρ (X,Y) = (σXY) / (σX)(σY)

-1 ≤ ρ ≤ 1

When ρ = 0 there is no linear relationship between the variables. This does not mean that the variables are independent.

When ρ = 1 the linear relationship is perfect positive. ρ = 1 means a direct relation between X and Y : When X increases also Y increases in constant proportion. When Y increases also X increases in constant proportion.

When ρ = -1 the linear relationship is perfect negative. ρ = -1 means a inverse relation between X and Y : When X increases Y decreases in constant proportion. When Y increases X decreases in constant proportion.

In our exercise ρ (X,Y) = 13.44 / (15.57)(6.90) = 0.125

a) ρ (X,Y) = 0.125

b)  The linear relationship is weak because ρ (X,Y) is almost 0

c) There is a positive linear relationship because ρ (X,Y) > 0

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
