Chapter 10: Q9BSC (page 468)

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.

Testing for Correlation Use the information provided in the display to determine the value of the linear correlation coefficient. Is there sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation between numbers of registered boats and numbers of manatee deaths from encounters with boats?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The linear correlation coefficient is 0.85014394.

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the variables 鈥渘umber of registered boats鈥� and 鈥渘umber of manatee deaths from encounters with boats鈥� are linearly related.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Results are obtained for the linear relation between the variables 鈥渘umber of registered boats鈥� and 鈥渘umber of manatee deaths鈥� using StatCrunch.

02

Correlation coefficient

The linear correlation between the two variables is shown in the results obtained using StatCrunch and is equal to 0.85014394.

03

Significance of correlation

The researcher wants to test the claim that there is a linear correlation between the variables number of registered boats and the number of manatee deaths from encounters with boats.

Let\(\rho \)represent the linear correlation coefficient of the population.

The statistical hypothesis is given below:

\(\begin{array}{l}{H_0}:\rho = 0\\{H_1}:\rho \ne 0\end{array}\)

Here,

\(\begin{array}{l}r = 0.850\\n = 24\end{array}\)

The degrees of freedom (df) is given as follows:

\(\begin{array}{c}df = n - 2\\ = 24 - 2\\ = 22\end{array}\)

The two-tailed critical values of rat df = 22 and at a significance level of 0.05 are obtained as 鈥�404 and 0.404.

Since the given value of the linear correlation coefficient (0.850) lies beyond the upper critical value of 0.404, the null hypothesis is rejected.

Thus, there issufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between the numbers of registered boats and number of manatee deaths from encounters with boats.

Ages of Moviegoers Based on the data from Cumulative Review Exercise 7, assume that ages of moviegoers are normally distributed with a mean of 35 years and a standard deviation of 20 years.

a. What is the percentage of moviegoers who are younger than 30 years of age?

b. Find\({P_{25}}\), which is the 25th percentile.

c. Find the probability that a simple random sample of 25 moviegoers has a mean age that is less than 30 years.

d. Find the probability that for a simple random sample of 25 moviegoers, each of the moviegoers is younger than 30 years of age. For a particular movie and showtime, why might it not be unusual to have 25 moviegoers all under the age of 30?

Interpreting r For the same two variables described in Exercise 1, if we find that r = 0, does that indicate that there is no association between those two variables?

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.

Heights (cm) and weights (kg) are measured for 100 randomly selected

adult males (from Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥� in Appendix B). The 100 paired measurements yield\(\bar x = 173.79\)cm,\(\bar y = 85.93\)kg, r= 0.418, P-value = 0.000, and\(\hat y = - 106 + 1.10x\). Find the best predicted value of\(\hat y\)(weight) given an adult male who is 180 cm tall.

Terminology Using the lengths (in.), chest sizes (in.), and weights (lb) of bears from Data Set 9 鈥淏ear Measurements鈥� in Appendix B, we get this regression equation: Weight = -274 + 0.426 Length +12.1 Chest Size. Identify the response and predictor variables

Super Bowl and\({R^2}\)Let x represent years coded as 1, 2, 3, . . . for years starting in 1980, and let y represent the numbers of points scored in each Super Bowl from 1980. Using the data from 1980 to the last Super Bowl at the time of this writing, we obtain the following values of\({R^2}\)for the different models: linear: 0.147; quadratic: 0.255; logarithmic: 0.176; exponential: 0.175; power: 0.203. Based on these results, which model is best? Is the best model a good model? What do the results suggest about predicting the number of points scored in a future Super Bowl game?
