Chapter 10: Q7BSC (page 468)

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 the

StatCrunch 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.

Should the multiple regression equation be used for predicting the height of a son based on the height of his father and mother? Why or why not?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The multiple regression equation cannot be used for predicting the height of a son based on the heights of his father and mother as the measure of R-squared values is low, which suggests poor fit.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

An output for regression is known.

02

Analyze the regression output

Compare each measure with the provided output.

  • TheP-valuein the last columnof theanalysis of variance table for the multiple regression model is low. It is less than 0.0001, which suggests that the model is overall significant.
  • Each variable is significant as the P-values are less than 0.05.
  • The value of the coefficient of determination (0.3249) and the adjusted value of the coefficient of determination (0.3552) are not high, which indicates a poor fit.

Therefore,the multiple regression equation fits the sample data, but it is not a good fit.

Thus, it should not be used for predicting the height of a son based on the heights of his father and mother.

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.)

Oscars Listed below are ages of Oscar winners matched by the years in which the awards were won (from Data Set 14 鈥淥scar Winner Age鈥� in Appendix B). Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between the ages of Best Actresses and Best Actors? Should we expect that there would be a correlation?

Time and Motion In a physics experiment at Doane College, a soccer ball was thrown upward from the bed of a moving truck. The table below lists the time (sec) that has lapsed from the throw and the height (m) of the soccer ball. What do you conclude about the relationship between time and height? What horrible mistake would be easy to make if the analysis is conducted without a scatterplot?

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.

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.

Finding a Prediction Interval For a year with 850,000 (x = 852) registered boats in Florida, identify the 95% prediction interval estimate of the number of manatee fatalities resulting from encounters with boats. Write a statement interpreting that interval.

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?
