The production department of Celltronics International wants to explore the relationship between the number of employees who assemble a subassembly and the number produced. As an experiment, 3 employees were assigned to assemble the subassemblies. They produced 14 during a one-hour period. Then 5 employees assembled them. They produced 23 during a one-hour period. The complete set of paired observations follows. |
Number of Assemblers | One-Hour Production (units) |
3 | 14 |
5 | 23 |
2 | 9 |
6 | 38 |
4 | 26 |
The dependent variable is production; that is, it is assumed that different levels of production result from a different number of employees. |

b. | A scatter diagram is provided below. Based on it, does there appear to be any relationship between the number of assemblers and production? |
(Click to select) Yes No , as the number of assemblers (Click to select) decreases increases , so does the production. |
c. | Compute the correlation coefficient. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round sx, sy and r to 3 decimal places.) |

The owner of Maumee Ford-Mercury-Volvo wants to study the relationship between the age of a car and its selling price. Listed below is a random sample of 12 used cars sold at the dealership during the last year. |
Car | Age (years) | Selling Price ($000) | Car | Age (years) | Selling Price ($000) |
1 | 9 | 8.1 | 7 | 8 | 7.6 |
2 | 7 | 6.0 | 8 | 11 | 8.0 |
3 | 11 | 3.6 | 9 | 10 | 8.0 |

b-2. | Determine the coefficient of determination. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) |
c. | Interpret the correlation coefficient. Does it surprise you that the correlation coefficient is negative? (Round your answer to nearest whole number.) |
(Click to select) No Moderate Strong correlation between age of car and selling price. So, % of the variation in the selling price is explained by the variation in the age of the car. | |
