Question 10 (1 point)
Suppose that a scatter diagram depicts a relationship between the two variables that can be summarized by a straight line. The correlation coefficient is computed and results in a value of -0.73. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
Question 10 options:
-There is a negative relationship between the two variables.
-Two other variables having a correlation coefficient of -0.87 would have a stronger linear relationship.
-In general, an increase in one variable is associated with an increase in the other variable.
-Even though the correlation coefficient is less than zero, the correlation coefficient still communicates the strength of the linear relationship.

Question 19 (1 point)
The original variation (based on alpha =0.05, the ANOVA for the three suppliers MQPE 8e problem 10-20) between groups to within groups ratio estimate is F= 17.38 (much larger than 3.89) there is a significant difference between suppliers.
However, by inspection of the data, Supplier 2 appears to be the reason for the original results.
Using one-way ANOVA, analyze the difference between supplier 1 and supplier 3. What conclusion can be reached, based on these data?
Question 19 options:
At an alpha of 0.05, there is no reason to believe that suppliers 1 and 3 are different.
At an alpha of 0.05, there is reason to believe that suppliers 1 and 3 are different.
