Calculate the mean density of population for the given data.

To calculate the mean density of population, we use the formula: $ \text{Mean density} = \frac{\text{Total population}}{\text{Total area}} $. Substituting the given values, we get: $ \text{Mean density} = \frac{30+90+40+60+42+120}{150+180+100} = \frac{382}{430} \approx 0.888$ thousand persons per square mile.

Determine the mean death rate for the given cities.

The mean death rate can be calculated using the formula: $ \text{Mean death rate} = \frac{\text{Total number of deaths}}{\text{Total population}} \times 1000 $. Substituting the given values, we get: $ \text{Mean death rate} = \frac{300+1440+560+1224+312}{30+90+40+60+42} \times 1000 = \frac{3836}{262} \approx 14.61$ per 1000 population.

Calculate the coefficient of correlation by Karl Pearson's method between the density of population and the death rate for the given data.

To calculate the coefficient of correlation by Karl Pearson's method, we use the formula: $ r = \frac{n\sum xy - \sum x \sum y}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 - (\sum y)^2]}} $. Substituting the given values, where $n$ is the number of data pairs, $\sum xy$ is the sum of the products of the paired values, $\sum x$ and $\sum y$ are the sum of the individual values, $\sum x^2$ and $\sum y^2$ are the sum of the squares of the individual values, we can calculate the coefficient of correlation.

Test your understanding of Karl Pearson's method by calculating the coefficient of correlation between population density and death rate using the provided data on city areas, population, and number of deaths. This quiz will challenge your statistical analysis skills and correlation calculation abilities.
