Question 1

1a. Using the data on the 'data' tab, construct a scatterplot of the two variables in the space below. In the scatterplot, include at least the axes names and a title of the graph.

1b. Describe the scatterplot above. Identify the two variables and any correlation that you observe in the scatterplot above. Explain your answer.

Question 2

		r
		CV of r

2a. Calculate the value of the linear correlation coefficient r and the critical value of r using α = 0.05. Show your calculations for r below. Include an explanation on how you found the critical value.

2b. Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between the magnitudes and the depths from the earthquakes. Explain your answer.

Question 3

		slope
		y-intercept

3a. Find the regression equation. Let the predictor (x) variable be the magnitude. Identify the slope and the y-intercept within your regression equation. Show your calculations below. Describe how you constructed the regression equation.

3b. Is the equation a good model? Explain your answer. 3c. What would be the best predicted depth of an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.6? Include the correct units. Show your calculations below. Explain how you determined your answer.
