Critical Thinking: Is the pain medicine Duragesic effective in reducing pain? Listed below are measures of pain intensity before and after using the drug Duragesic (fentanyl) (based on data from Janssen Pharmaceutical Products, L.P.). The data are listed in order by row, and corresponding measures are from the same subject before and after treatment. For example, the first subject had a measure of 1.2 before treatment and a measure of 0.4 after treatment. Each pair of measurements is from one subject, and the intensity of pain was measured using the standard visual analog score. A higher score corresponds to higher pain intensity.

Interpreting the Coefficient of Determination. In Exercises 5鈥8, use the value of the linear correlation coefficient r to find the coefficient of determination and the percentage of the total variation that can be explained by the linear relationship between the two variables.

Crickets and Temperature r = 0.874 (x = number of cricket chirps in 1 minute, y = temperature in 掳F)

In Exercises 5鈥8, we want to consider the correlation between heights of fathers and mothers and the heights of their sons. Refer to theStatCrunch display and answer the given questions or identify the indicated items.

The display is based on Data Set 5 鈥淔amily Heights鈥 in Appendix B.

Identify the multiple regression equation that expresses the height of a son in terms of the height of his father and mother.

Interpreting r. In Exercises 5鈥8, use a significance level of A = 0.05 and refer to the accompanying displays.

5. Bear Weight and Chest Size Fifty-four wild bears were anesthetized, and then their weights and chest sizes were measured and listed in Data Set 9 鈥淏ear Measurements鈥 in Appendix B; results are shown in the accompanying Statdisk display. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the weights of bears and their chest sizes? When measuring an anesthetized bear, is it easier to measure chest size than weight? If so, does it appear that a measured chest size can be used to predict the weight?

let the predictor variable x be the first variable given. Use the given data to find the regression equation and the best predicted value of the response variable. Be sure to follow the prediction procedure summarized in Figure 10-5 on page 493. Use a 0.05 significance level.

For 50 randomly selected speed dates, attractiveness ratings by males of their

female date partners (x) are recorded along with the attractiveness ratings by females of their male date partners (y); the ratings are from Data Set 18 鈥淪peed Dating鈥 in Appendix B. The 50 paired ratings yield\(\bar x = 6.5\),\(\bar y = 5.9\), r= -0.277, P-value = 0.051, and\(\hat y = 8.18 - 0.345x\). Find the best predicted value of\(\hat y\)(attractiveness rating by female of male) for a date in which the attractiveness rating by the male of the female is x= 8.

The following exercises are based on the following sample data consisting of numbers of enrolled students (in thousands) and numbers of burglaries for randomly selected large colleges in a recent year (based on data from the New York Times).

The sample data result in a linear correlation coefficient of r= 0.499 and the regression equation\(\hat y = 3.83 + 2.39x\). What is the best predicted number of burglaries, given an enrollment of 50 (thousand), and how was it found?

Stocks and Sunspots. Listed below are annual high values of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and annual mean sunspot numbers for eight recent years. Use the data for Exercises 1鈥5. A sunspot number is a measure of sunspots or groups of sunspots on the surface of the sun. The DJIA is a commonly used index that is a weighted mean calculated from different stock values.

Head widths (in.) and weights (lb) were measured for 20 randomly selected bears (from Data Set 9 鈥淏ear Measurements鈥 in Appendix B). The 20 pairs of measurements yield\(\bar x = 6.9\)in.,\(\bar y = 214.3\)lb, r= 0.879, P-value = 0.000, and\(\hat y = - 212 + 61.9x\). Find the best predicted value of\(\hat y\)(weight) given a bear with a head width of 6.5 in.
