Q:

For 50 randomly selected speed​ dates, attractiveness ratings by males of their female date partners​ (x) are recorded along with the attractiveness ratings by females of their male date partners​ (y); the ratings range from 1 to 10. the 50 paired ratings yield x overbarxequals=6.46.4​, y overbaryequals=6.06.0​, requals=negative 0.281−0.281​, ​p-valueequals=0.0480.048​, and modifyingabove y with caretyequals=8.128.12negative 0.323−0.323x. find the best predicted value of modifyingabove y with carety ​(attractiveness rating by female of​ male) for a date in which the attractiveness rating by the male of the female is xequals=55. use a 0.100.10 significance level.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The best predicted value of y = y^= y`= 6.0Step-by-step explanation:The given P - value is  = 0.176And the significance level= 0.01Since the P-value is greater than the significance level the null hypothesis cannot be rejected telling us that there is no correlation between the attractiveness ratings of the partners.As there is no correlation between the attractiveness ratings of the partners  the best predicted value of y (attractiveness rating by female of male) is given by mean valuey^= y`= 6.0
