Testing the null hypothesis that the slope of the true regression line equals zero is equivalent to testing whether the true coefficient of correlation could be zero. Why?

Question 2

The values of y and x are inversely related, and 84.64 of the variation in y is explained by the regression equation. What is the coefficient of correlation?

Answer to Question 1

If the slope of the true regression line is zero, then the true coefficient of correlation is also zero. Both of these cases imply no linear relationship between the dependent variable (y) and the independent variable (x).

Answer to Question 2

Since 84.64 of the variation in y is explained by x .8464 is the coefficient of determination. The square root of the coefficient of determination, with the appropriate sign, is equal to the coefficient of correlation. Therefore, the coefficient of correlation is -.92 . We know this is negative because y and x are inversely related.

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

ACTH levels are normally highest in the early morning (between 6 and 8 A.M.) and lowest in the evening (between 6 and 11 P.M.). Therefore, a doctor who suspects abnormal levels looks for low ACTH in the morning and high ACTH in the evening.

Children with strabismus (crossed eyes) can be treated. They are not able to outgrow this condition on their own, but with help, it can be more easily corrected at a younger age. It is important for infants to have eye examinations as early as possible in their development and then another at age 2 years.
