Chapter 10: Q19BSC (page 468)
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.
Crickets and Temperature The table below lists numbers of cricket chirps in 1 minute and the temperature in 掳F. For the prediction interval, use 1000 chirps in 1 minute and use a 90% confidence level.
Chirps in 1 min | 882 | 1188 | 1104 | 864 | 1200 | 1032 | 960 | 900 |
Temperature (掳F) | 69.7 | 93.3 | 84.3 | 76.3 | 88.6 | 82.6 | 71.6 | 79.6 |
Short Answer
(a) Explained Variation:352.7277
(b) Unexplained Variation:109.3722
(c) 95% Prediction Interval: (71.09 \({}^ \circ F\),88.71\({}^ \circ F\))
