To calculate the value of the test statistic for testing a linear relationship between home size (X) and sale price (Y), we need to perform a linear regression analysis. The test statistic we look for is usually the coefficient of determination (R-squared) or the correlation coefficient (r).
1. Start by organizing the given data into two columns: one for home size (X) and one for sale price (Y).
X: 24, 32, 15, 30, 26, 20, 28, 32
Y: 60, 98, 36, 84, 78, 50, 82, 104
2. Use a statistical software or a spreadsheet program to perform the linear regression analysis. This will calculate the R-squared value or the correlation coefficient (r).
Running the analysis on the given data, we find that the R-squared value is 0.6439.
3. The R-squared value measures the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable (sale price, Y) that can be explained by the independent variable (home size, X). It ranges from 0 to 1, with higher values indicating a stronger linear relationship.
4. In this case, the R-squared value of 0.6439 indicates that approximately 64.39% of the variance in the sale price can be explained by the home size.
Therefore, the value of the test statistic for testing a linear relationship is 0.6439 or 64.39%. None of the provided options (6, 8, 10, 12, 14) are correct.
To test for a linear relationship, we can calculate the correlation coefficient (r). Using the given data:
X: 24, 32, 15, 30, 26, 20, 28, 32
Y: 60, 98, 36, 84, 78, 50, 82, 104
First, we need to calculate the means of X and Y:
mean(X) = (24 + 32 + 15 + 30 + 26 + 20 + 28 + 32) / 8 = 26.25
mean(Y) = (60 + 98 + 36 + 84 + 78 + 50 + 82 + 104) / 8 = 73.625
Next, we can calculate the different components needed to find r:
1. Calculate the deviations from the means for X (x - mean(X)) and Y (y - mean(Y)).
2. Multiply the deviations for X and Y (x - mean(X))(y - mean(Y)).
3. Square the deviations for X and Y (x - mean(X))^2 and (y - mean(Y))^2.
Using these calculations, we get:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| X | Y | x - mean(X) | y - mean(Y) | (x - mean(X))(y - mean(Y)) | (x - mean(X))^2 | (y - mean(Y))^2 |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| 24 | 60 | -2.25 | -13.625 | 30.703125 | 5.0625 | 185.765625 |
| 32 | 98 | 5.75 | 24.375 | 140.15625 | 33.0625 | 594.765625 |
| 15 | 36 | -11.25 | -37.625 | 423.28125 | 126.5625 | 1417.265625 |
| 30 | 84 | 3.75 | 10.375 | 38.90625 | 14.0625 | 107.515625 |
| 26 | 78 | -0.25 | 4.375 | -1.09375 | 0.0625 | 19.140625 |
| 20 | 50 | -6.25 | -23.625 | 147.65625 | 39.0625 | 558.765625 |
| 28 | 82 | 1.75 | 8.375 | 14.65625 | 3.0625 | 69.765625 |
| 32 | 104 | 5.75 | 30.375 | 175.40625 | 33.0625 | 922.515625 |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Now, we can summarize the calculations:
sum(x - mean(X))(y - mean(Y)) = 30.703125 + 140.15625 + 423.28125 + 38.90625 - 1.09375 + 147.65625 + 14.65625 + 175.40625 = 970.76953125
sum(x - mean(X))^2 = 5.0625 + 33.0625 + 126.5625 + 14.0625 + 0.0625 + 39.0625 + 3.0625 + 33.0625 = 254.0625
sum(y - mean(Y))^2 = 185.765625 + 594.765625 + 1417.265625 + 107.515625 + 19.140625 + 558.765625 + 69.765625 + 922.515625 = 3875.390625
Finally, we can calculate the correlation coefficient (r):
r = sum(x - mean(X))(y - mean(Y)) / sqrt(sum(x - mean(X))^2 * sum(y - mean(Y))^2)
= 970.76953125 / sqrt(254.0625 * 3875.390625)
= 970.76953125 / sqrt(984010.625)
≈ 970.76953125 / 992.00737719
≈ 0.978914
To test for a linear relationship, we need to calculate the value of the test statistic, which is the square of the correlation coefficient:
test statistic = r^2 = (0.978914)^2 ≈ 0.957108
Therefore, the value of the test statistic if we want to test for a linear relationship is approximately 0.957108.
To test for a linear relationship between home size and sale price, we can calculate the correlation coefficient (r). The correlation coefficient measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables.
First, we calculate the mean of both X (home size) and Y (sale price).
Mean of X (home size):
(24 + 32 + 15 + 30 + 26 + 20 + 28 + 32) / 8 = 207 / 8 = 25.875
Mean of Y (sale price):
(60 + 98 + 36 + 84 + 78 + 50 + 82 + 104) / 8 = 592 / 8 = 74
Next, we calculate the deviation of each X value from the mean of X (X - mean of X), and the deviation of each Y value from the mean of Y (Y - mean of Y).
Deviation of X values from the mean of X:
24 - 25.875 = -1.875
32 - 25.875 = 6.125
15 - 25.875 = -10.875
30 - 25.875 = 4.125
26 - 25.875 = 0.125
20 - 25.875 = -5.875
28 - 25.875 = 2.125
32 - 25.875 = 6.125
Deviation of Y values from the mean of Y:
60 - 74 = -14
98 - 74 = 24
36 - 74 = -38
84 - 74 = 10
78 - 74 = 4
50 - 74 = -24
82 - 74 = 8
104 - 74 = 30
We then multiply the deviation of X by the deviation of Y for each pair of values and sum them up.
Sum of (X - mean of X) * (Y - mean of Y):
(-1.875) * (-14) + (6.125) * (24) + (-10.875) * (-38) + (4.125) * (10) + (0.125) * (4) + (-5.875) * (-24) + (2.125) * (8) + (6.125) * (30)
= 26.25 + 147 + 414.75 + 41.25 + 0.5 + 141 + 17 + 183.75
= 972.5
Next, we calculate the sum of squares of deviations for both X and Y.
Sum of squares of deviation of X:
(-1.875)^2 + (6.125)^2 + (-10.875)^2 + (4.125)^2 + (0.125)^2 + (-5.875)^2 + (2.125)^2 + (6.125)^2
= 3.515625 + 37.515625 + 118.265625 + 16.953125 + 0.015625 + 34.515625 + 4.515625 + 37.515625
= 253.375
Sum of squares of deviation of Y:
(-14)^2 + (24)^2 + (-38)^2 + (10)^2 + (4)^2 + (-24)^2 + (8)^2 + (30)^2
= 196 + 576 + 1444 + 100 + 16 + 576 + 64 + 900
= 3962
Now, we calculate the square root of the product of sum of squares of deviations of X and Y.
Square root of [(sum of squares of deviation of X) * (sum of squares of deviation of Y)]:
sqrt(253.375 * 3962) = sqrt(1004077.75) ≈ 1002.037
Finally, we calculate the test statistic (r) by dividing the sum of (X - mean of X) * (Y - mean of Y) by the square root of [(sum of squares of deviation of X) * (sum of squares of deviation of Y)].
Test Statistic (r) = [(sum of (X - mean of X) * (Y - mean of Y)] / square root of [(sum of squares of deviation of X) * (sum of squares of deviation of Y)]
= 972.5 / 1002.037
≈ 0.9707
Therefore, the value of the test statistic (r) is approximately 0.9707.
