  1. Compute the correlation between the wattage and heating area. Isthere a direct or an indirect relationship? (Round youranswer to 4 decimal places.)

  2. Conduct a test of hypothesis to determine if it is reasonablethat the coefficient is greater than zero. Use the 0.050significance level. (Round intermediate calculations andfinal answer to 3 decimal places.)

  3. Develop the regression equation for effective heating based onwattage.
