Question

An energy economist studying the growth and decay of both the coal and natural gas industries wanted to leverage data collected by environmental scientists. Particularly, the economist wanted to study the link between the total yearly carbon emissions from both energy sources. They looked at 30 years of total yearly carbon emissions for a particular nation (measured in million metric tons of carbon dioxide) for both forms of energy. The data is provided below. Use Excel to calculate the correlation coefficient r between the two data sets. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Activity 6

Question

An economist is trying to understand whether there is a strong link between CEO pay ratio and corporate revenue. The economist gathered data including the CEO pay ratio and corporate revenue for 30 companies for a particular year. The pay ratio data is reported by the companies and represents the ratio of CEO compensation to the median employee salary. The data are provided below. Use Excel to calculate the correlation coefficient r between the two data sets. Round your answer to two decimal places

The correlation coefficient can be calculated with Excel using the built-in CORREL function.

1. Open the accompanying data set in Excel.
2. In an open cell, type “=CORREL(A2:A31,B2:B31)”, and then hit ENTER.

You could label the result of this cell by writing “Correlation coefficient” or “r” in an adjacent open cell.

Activity 12

Question

An amateur astronomer is researching statistical properties of known stars using a variety of databases. They collect the absolute magnitude or MV and stellar mass or M⊙ for 30 stars. The absolute magnitude of a star is the intensity of light that would be observed from the star at a distance of 10 parsecs from the star. This is measured in terms of a particular band of the light spectrum, indicated by the subscript letter, which in this case is V for the visual light spectrum. The scale is logarithmic and an MV that is 1 less than another comes from a star that is 10 times more luminous than the other. The stellar mass of a star is how many times the sun’s mass it has. The data is provided below. Use Excel to calculate the correlation coefficient r between the two data sets, rounding to two decimal places.
