Question 4

Rock Concert Revenues
A financier whose specialty is investing in rock concerts has observed that,in general,concerts with "big-name" stars seem to generate more revenue than those concerts whose stars are less well known.To examine his belief he records the gross revenue and the payment (in $ millions)given to the two highest-paid performers in the concert for ten concert tours.
 $$\begin{array} { | c | c | c | } 
\hline \text { Concert } & \begin{array} { c } 
\text { Cost of Twa Highest Paid } \
\text { Perfarmers (\$mil) }
\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } 
\text { Grass Revenue } \
( \mathbf {\$ m i l } )
\end{array} \
\hline 1 & 5.3 & 48 \
2 & 7.2 & 65 \
3 & 1.3 & 18 \
4 & 1.8 & 20 \
5 & 3.5 & 31 \
6 & 2.6 & 26 \
7 & 8.0 & 73 \
8 & 2.4 & 23 \
9 & 4.5 & 39 \
10 & 0.7 & 58 \
\hline
\end{array}$$
-{Rock Concert Revenues Narrative} Conduct a test of the population coefficient of correlation to determine at the 5% significance level whether a positive linear relationship exists between payment to the two highest-paid performers and gross revenue.

Accepted Answer

H₀: @#LAT-DLM& = 0 vs.H₁: @#LAT-DLM&

Question 5

A scatter diagram includes the following data points:
 $$\begin{array} { | c | c c c c c | } 
\hline x & 3 & 2 & 5 & 4 & 5 \
\hline y & 8 & 6 & 12 & 10 & 14 \
\hline
\end{array}$$ Two regression models are proposed: (1) $\hat { y } = 1.2 + 2.5 x$ ,and (2) $\hat { y } = 4.0 x$ .Using the least squares method,which of these regression models provides the better fit to the data? Why?

Accepted Answer

SSE = 4.95 and 156 for models

C)  population coefficient of correlation could be zero 
D)  sum of squares for error could be zero 
A)  sample coefficient of correlation could be zero
