Finding a Prediction Interval. In Exercises 13鈥16, use the paired data consisting of registered Florida boats (tens of thousands) and manatee fatalities from boat encounters listed in Data Set 10 鈥淢anatee Deaths鈥 in Appendix B. Let x represent number of registered boats and let y represent the corresponding number of manatee deaths. Use the given number of registered boats and the given confidence level to construct a prediction interval estimate of manatee deaths.

Boats Use x = 87 (for 870,000 registered boats) with a 99% confidence level.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The 99% prediction interval for the number of manatee deaths when the number of registered boats is equal to 870,000 is (45.5 manatees,101.1 manatees).

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The paired data for the variables 鈥榥umber of registered boats鈥 and 鈥榥umber of manatee deaths鈥 are provided.

Some important values inferred from the question are as follows.

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{Confidence}}\;{\rm{level}} = 99\% \\{x_0} = 87\\n = 24\end{array}\).

02

Regression equation

Let x denote the variable 鈥溾榬egistered boats鈥.

Let y denote the variable 鈥榥umber of manatee deaths鈥.

The regression equation of y on x has the following notation:

\(\hat y = {b_0} + {b_1}x\),where

\({b_0}\)is the intercept term, and

\({b_1}\)is the slope coefficient.

The following calculations are done to compute the intercept and the slope coefficient:

The value of the y-intercept is computed below.

\(\begin{array}{c}{b_0} = \frac{{\left( {\sum y } \right)\left( {\sum {{x^2}} } \right) - \left( {\sum x } \right)\left( {\sum {xy} } \right)}}{{n\left( {\sum {{x^2}} } \right) - {{\left( {\sum x } \right)}^2}}}\\ = \frac{{\left( {1700} \right)\left( {177128} \right) - \left( {2046} \right)\left( {148731} \right)}}{{24\left( {177128} \right) - {{\left( {2046} \right)}^2}}}\\ = - 49.048987\end{array}\).

The value of the slope coefficient is computed below.

\(\begin{array}{c}{b_1} = \frac{{n\left( {\sum {xy} } \right) - \left( {\sum x } \right)\left( {\sum y } \right)}}{{n\left( {\sum {{x^2}} } \right) - {{\left( {\sum x } \right)}^2}}}\\ = \frac{{\left( {24} \right)\left( {148731} \right) - \left( {2046} \right)\left( {1700} \right)}}{{24\left( {177128} \right) - {{\left( {2046} \right)}^2}}}\\ = 1.4062442\end{array}\).

Thus, the regression equation becomes

\(\hat y = - 49.048987 + 1.4062442x\).

03

Predicted value \(\left( {\hat y} \right)\)

The regression equation of y on x is

\(\hat y = - 49.048987 + 1.4062442x\).

Substituting the value of\({x_0} = 87\), the following value of\(\hat y\)is obtained:

\(\begin{array}{c}\hat y = - 49.048987 + 1.4062442\left( {87} \right)\\ = 73.2942584\end{array}\).

04

Level of significance and degrees of freedom

The following formula is used to compute the level of significance:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}Confidence\;Level &= 99\% \\100\left( {1 - \alpha } \right) &= 99\\1 - \alpha &= 0.99\\ &= 0.01\end{aligned}\).

Therefore,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\frac{\alpha }{2} &= \frac{{0.01}}{2}\\ &= 0.005\end{aligned}\).

The degree of freedom for computing the value of the t-multiplier is shown below.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}df &= n - 2\\ &= 24 - 2\\ &= 22\end{aligned}\).

05

Value of \({t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}}\)

The value of the t-multiplier for a level of significance equal to 0.005 and a degree of freedom equal to 22 is 2.8188.

06

Value of \({s_e}\)

The given table shows all the important values to compute the standard error of the estimate.

The value of the standard error of the estimate is computed, as shown below.

\(\begin{array}{c}{s_e} = \sqrt {\frac{{\sum {{{\left( {y - \hat y} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 2}}} \\ = \sqrt {\frac{{2053.167806}}{{24 - 2}}} \\ = 9.6605284\end{array}\).

Thus, \({s_e} = 9.6605284\)

07

Value of \(\bar x\)

The value of\(\bar x\)is computed as follows.

\(\begin{array}{c}\bar x = \frac{{68 + 68 + .... + 90}}{{24}}\\ = 85.25\end{array}\).

08

Value of \({\left( {\sum x } \right)^2}\)

The value of the term\({\left( {\sum x } \right)^2}\)is computed, as shown below.

\(\begin{array}{c}{\left( {\sum x } \right)^2} = {\left( {68 + 68 + ..... + 90} \right)^2}\\ = 4186116\end{array}\).

09

Value of \(\left( {\sum {{x^2}} } \right)\)

The value of the term\(\left( {\sum {{x^2}} } \right)\)is computed, as shown below.

\(\begin{array}{c}\left( {\sum {{x^2}} } \right) = {68^2} + {68^2} + ...... + {90^2}\\ = 177128\end{array}\)

10

Prediction interval

Substitute the values obtained above to calculate the value of the margin of error (E), as shown below.

\(\begin{array}{c}E = {t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}}{s_e}\sqrt {1 + \frac{1}{n} + \frac{{n{{\left( {{x_0} - \bar x} \right)}^2}}}{{n\left( {\sum {{x^2}} } \right) - {{\left( {\sum x } \right)}^2}}}} \\ = \left( {2.8188} \right)\left( {9.6605284} \right)\sqrt {1 + \frac{1}{{24}} + \frac{{24{{\left( {87 - 85.25} \right)}^2}}}{{24\left( {177128} \right) - \left( {4186116} \right)}}} \\ = 27.80771362\end{array}\)

Thus, the prediction interval becomes

\(\begin{array}{c}PI = \left( {\hat y - E,\hat y + E} \right)\\ = \left( {73.2942584 - 27.80771362,73.2942584 + 27.80771362} \right)\\ \approx \left( {45.5,101.1} \right)\end{array}\)

Therefore, the 99% prediction interval for the number of manatee deaths when the number of registered boats is equal to 870,000 is (45.5 manatees,101.1 manatees).

Testing for a Linear Correlation. In Exercises 13鈥28, construct a scatterplot, and find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r. Also find the P-value or the critical values of r from Table A-6. Use a significance level of A = 0.05. Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation between the two variables. (Save your work because the same data sets will be used in Section 10-2 exercises.)

Tips Listed below are amounts of bills for dinner and the amounts of the tips that were left. The data were collected by students of the author. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between the bill amounts and the tip amounts?
