    This document provides data on injury incidence rates per 100 employees for various industries over three years. It asks to compute the correlation between each pair of years and determine which years are most highly correlated. The solution shows the correlation calculation between year 1 and year 2, finding a correlation of 0.975. Therefore, years 1 and 2 have the highest correlation.

    5 The National Safety Council released the following data on the incidence rates for fatal or lost-worktime
    injuries per 100 employees for several industries in three recent years.

    Industry Year 1 Year 2 Year 3


    Textile 0.46 0.48 0.69
    Chemical 0.52 0.62 0.63
    Communication 0.9 0.72 0.81
    Machinery 1.5 1.74 2.1
    Services 2.89 2.03 2.46
    Nonferrous metals1.8 1.92 2
    Food 3.29 3.18 3.17
    Government 5.73 4.43 4

    Compute r for each pair of years and determine which years are most highly correlated.

    SOLUTION

    Correlation between Year 1 and Year 2:

    Industry Year 1 (x) Year 2 (y) x-x‾ y-y‾ (x-x‾)(y-y‾) (x-x‾)^2 (y-y‾)^2
    Textile 0.46 0.48 -1.67625 -1.41 2.363513 2.80981 1.9881
    Chemical 0.52 0.62 -1.61625 -1.27 2.052638 2.61226 1.6129
    Communication 0.9 0.72 -1.23625 -1.17 1.446413 1.52831 1.3689
    Machinery 1.5 1.74 -0.63625 -0.15 0.095438 0.40481 0.0225
    Services 2.89 2.03 0.75375 0.14 0.105525 0.56814 0.0196
    Nonferrous metals1.8 1.92 -0.33625 0.03 -0.010088 0.11306 0.0009
    Food 3.29 3.18 1.15375 1.29 1.488338 1.33114 1.6641
    Government 5.73 4.43 3.59375 2.54 9.128125 12.91504 6.4516
    2.13625 1.89 0 0 16.6699 22.28259 13.1286
    ###
    17.10378

    (𝛴(𝑥−𝑥‾)(𝑦−𝑦‾)
    r= )/( √𝛴(𝑥−𝑥‾)²(𝑦−𝑦‾)²)

    r= 0.97463

    So, the correlation between year 1 and year 2 is 0.975.
