Variation and Prediction Intervals. In Exercises 17鈥20, find the (a) explained variation, (b) unexplained variation, and (c) indicated prediction interval. In each case, there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation, so it is reasonable to use the regression equation when making predictions.

Town Courts Listed below are amounts of court income and salaries paid to the town justices (based on data from the Poughkeepsie Journal). All amounts are in thousands of dollars, and all of the towns are in Dutchess County, New York. For the prediction interval, use a 99% confidence level with a court income of $800,000.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Data are given fortwo variables, 鈥淐ourt Income鈥 and 鈥淛ustice Salary鈥.

02

Regression equation

Let x denote the variable 鈥淐ourt Income.鈥

Let y denote the variable 鈥淛ustice Salary.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 y-intercept is computed below:

\(\begin{array}{c}{b_0} = \frac{{\left( {\sum y } \right)\left( {\sum {{x^2}} } \right) - \left( {\sum x } \right)\left( {\sum {xy} } \right)}}{{n\left( {\sum {{x^2}} } \right) - {{\left( {\sum x } \right)}^2}}}\\ = \frac{{\left( {398} \right)\left( {4076640} \right) - \left( {3988} \right)\left( {262465} \right)}}{{9\left( {4076640} \right) - {{\left( {3988} \right)}^2}}}\\ = 27.701478\\ \approx 27.70\end{array}\)

The slope coefficient is computed below:

\(\begin{array}{c}{b_1} = \frac{{n\left( {\sum {xy} } \right) - \left( {\sum x } \right)\left( {\sum y } \right)}}{{n\left( {\sum {{x^2}} } \right) - {{\left( {\sum x } \right)}^2}}}\\ = \frac{{\left( 9 \right)\left( {262465} \right) - \left( {3988} \right)\left( {398} \right)}}{{9\left( {4076640} \right) - {{\left( {3988} \right)}^2}}}\\ = 0.0372835\\ \approx 0.04\end{array}\)

Thus, the regression equation becomes as shown:

\(\begin{array}{l}\hat y = 27.701478 - 0.0372835x\\\hat y \approx 27.70 - 0.04x\end{array}\)

03

Predicted values

The mean value of observed y is computed below:

\(\begin{array}{c}\bar y = \frac{{\sum y }}{n}\\ = \frac{{398}}{9}\\ = 44.222\end{array}\)

The following table shows the predicted values (obtained by substituting the values of x in the regression equation) and other important calculations:

The value of the explained variation is shown below:

\(\sum {{{\left( {\hat y - \bar y} \right)}^2}} = 3210.364\)

Thus, the explained variation is 3210.364.

The value of the unexplained variation is shown below:

\(\sum {{{\left( {y - \hat y} \right)}^2}} = 1087.191\)

Thus, the unexplained variation is 1087.191.

04

Predicted value at \(\left( {{x_0}} \right)\)

Substitute\({x_0} = 800\)in the regression equation to obtain the predicted value.

\(\begin{array}{c}\hat y = 27.70 + 0.04x\\ = 27.70 + 0.04\left( {800} \right)\\ = 57.5283\\ \approx 58\end{array}\)

05

Formula of prediction interval

The prediction interval is obtained using the formula shown below:

\(\begin{array}{c}PI = \hat y \pm E\\ = \hat y \pm {t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}}{s_e}\sqrt {1 + \frac{1}{n} + \frac{{n{{\left( {{x_0} - \bar x} \right)}^2}}}{{n\left( {\sum {{x^2}} } \right) - {{\left( {\sum x } \right)}^2}}}} \end{array}\)

06

Degrees of freedom and critical value

The following formula is used to compute the level of significance

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

The degrees of freedom for computing the t-multiplier are shown below:

\(\begin{array}{c}df = n - 2\\ = 9 - 2\\ = 7\end{array}\)

The two-tailed value of the t-multiplier for 0.01 level of significance and 7 degrees of freedom is 3.4995.

07

Standard error of the estimate

The standard error of the estimate is computed below:

\(\begin{array}{c}{s_e} = \sqrt {\frac{{\sum {{{\left( {y - \hat y} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 2}}} \\ = \sqrt {\frac{{1087.191}}{{9 - 2}}} \\ = 12.46247\end{array}\)

08

Value of \(\bar x\)

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

\(\begin{array}{c}\bar x = \frac{{\sum x }}{n}\\ = \frac{{3988}}{9}\\ = 443.111\end{array}\)

09

Prediction interval

Substitute the values obtained above to calculate the margin of error (E).

\(\begin{array}{c}E = {t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}}{s_e}\sqrt {1 + \frac{1}{n} + \frac{{n{{\left( {{x_0} - \bar x} \right)}^2}}}{{n\left( {\sum {{x^2}} } \right) - {{\left( {\sum x } \right)}^2}}}} \\ = \left( {3.4995} \right)\left( {12.46247} \right)\sqrt {1 + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{{9{{\left( {800 - 443.111} \right)}^2}}}{{9\left( {4076640} \right) - {{\left( {3988} \right)}^2}}}} \\ = 47.0986\end{array}\)

Thus, the prediction interval becomes as shown:

\(\begin{array}{c}PI = \left( {\hat y - E,\hat y + E} \right)\\ = \left( {57.5283 - 47.0986,57.5283 + 47.0986} \right)\\ = \left( {10.4297,04.6269} \right)\\ \approx \left( {10.4,104.6} \right)\end{array}\)

Therefore, the 99% prediction interval for the justice salary for thecourt income of $800,000is (10.4,104.6).

Confidence Intervals for a Regression Coefficients A confidence interval for the regression coefficient b1 is expressed

\(\begin{array}{l}{b_1} - E < {\beta _1} < {b_1} + E\\\end{array}\)

Where

\(E = {t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}}{s_{{b_1}}}\)

The critical t score is found using n 鈥(k+1) degrees of freedom, where k, n, and sb1 are described in Exercise 17. Using the sample data from Example 1, n = 153 and k = 2, so df = 150 and the critical t scores are \( \pm \)1.976 for a 95% confidence level. Use the sample data for Example 1, the Stat diskdisplay in Example 1 on page 513, and the Stat Crunchdisplay in Exercise 17 to construct 95% confidence interval estimates of \({\beta _1}\) (the coefficient for the variable representing height) and\({\beta _2}\) (the coefficient for the variable representing waist circumference). Does either confidence interval include 0, suggesting that the variable be eliminated from the regression equation?

Cell Phones and Driving In the author鈥檚 home town of Madison, CT, there were 2733 police traffic stops in a recent year, and 7% of them were attributable to improper use of cell phones. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population in which fewer than 10% of police traffic stops are attributable to improper cell phone use.

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.

Correlation Use a 0.05 significance level to test for a linear correlation between the DJIA values and the sunspot numbers. Is the result as you expected? Should anyone consider investing in stocks based on sunspot numbers?

Interpreting a Computer Display. In Exercises 9鈥12, refer to the display obtained by using the paired data consisting of Florida registered boats (tens of thousands) and numbers of manatee deaths from encounters with boats in Florida for different recent years (from Data Set 10 in Appendix B). Along with the paired boat, manatee sample data, StatCrunch was also given the value of 85 (tens of thousands) boats to be used for predicting manatee fatalities.

Predicting Manatee Fatalities Using x = 85 (for 850,000 registered boats), what is the single value that is the best predicted number of manatee fatalities resulting from encounters with boats?

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.)

Revised mpg Ratings Listed below are combined city-highway fuel economy ratings (in mi>gal) for different cars. The old ratings are based on tests used before 2008 and the new ratings are based on tests that went into effect in 2008.
