Question (2)
The following table shows number of years of experience (X) and the monthly salary (Y) (in
thousands of U.S dollars) of 8 of employees.

Salary (Y) 3 5 7 4 5 6 8 9
Experience (X) 2 4 8 5 3 7 9 9

 329 s y  2.031 sx  2.748  xy  312
1. Draw a scatter diagram.
2. Compute the covariance coefficient Explain what it means.
3. Compute the correlation coefficient Explain what it means.
4. Estimate the regression equation between years of experience and monthly salary.
5. Compute the coefficient of determination. Explain what does it mean?
6. Predict the value of monthly salary if years of experience are 7.5 year.
7. Use SPSS to find the estimated regression equation. Attach a copy of the SPSS output.

each level of the factor has equal sample size?
(a) 3 (b) 5 (c) 12 (d) 4
4. The test statistic value for this table is
(a) 266.67. (b) 133.33. (c) 2. (d) 3
5. If you are to test at the 5% level of significance for equality of means and the critical
value used is 3.94, your decision will be
(a) fail to reject the null hypothesis.
(b) reject the alternative hypothesis.
(c) fail to reject the alternative hypothesis.
(d) reject the null hypothesis.
