Chapter 4: Q. 4.108 (page 182)

In Exercises 4.104 - 4.115, use the technology of your choice to perform the following tasks.

(a) Decide whether finding the regression line for the data is reasonable. If so, do parts (b) - (d).

(b) Obtain the coefficient of determination,

(c) Determine the percentage of variation in the observed values of the response variable explained by the regression and interpret your answer.

(d) State how useful the regression equation appears to be for making predictions.

The data from Exercise 4.74 for home size in (square feet) and assessed values (in thousands of dollars) for the same homes as in Exercis 4.107 are on the WeissStats site.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) From the scatterplot, it is reasonable to find the regression line for the data since the observations are around the line.

(b) The coefficient of determination is 0.473.

(c) The percentage of variation in the observed values of the response variable explained by the regression is 47.3%.

(d)The regression equation is not useful for making predictions because the percentage of variation in the observed values of the response variable explained by the regression is 47.3%which is less than 50%.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given Information. 

The data from Exercise 4.74 for home size in (square feet) and assessed values (in thousands of dollars) for the same homes as in Exercis 4.107 are on the WeissStats site.

02

Part (a) Step 2. The MINITAB procedure. 

The MINITAB procedure for constructing scatterplot is:

1. Choose Graph > Scatterplot.

2. Choose with Connect Line, click OK.

3. Under Y-variables, enter a column of Value and under X-variables enter a column of Home size.

4. Click OK.

03

Part (a) Step 3. Graph the scatterplot. 

The MINITAB output is:

From the scatterplot, it is reasonable to find the regression line for the data since the observations are around the line.

04

Part (b) Step 1. The MINITAB procedure. 

The MINITAB procedure for finding the coefficient of determination is:

1. Choose Stat > Regression > Regression.

2. In response, enter the column Value.

3. In predictors, enter the column Home Size.

4. Click OK.

05

Part (b) Step 2. The MINITAB output 

The MINITAB output is:

From the MINITAB output, the coefficient of determination is0.473

06

Part (c) Step 1. Find the percentage of variation. 

From the MINITAB output, the percentage of variation in the observed values of the response variable explained by the regression is47.3%.

07

Part (d) Step 1. Explanation. 

The regression equation is not useful for making predictions because the percentage of variation in the observed values of the response variable explained by the regression is 47.3%which is less than50%.

Wasp Mating Systems. In the paper "Mating System and Sex Allocation in the Gregarious Parasitoid Cotesia glomerata" (Animal Behaviour, Vol. 66, pp. 259-264). H. Gu and S. Dorn reported on various aspects of the mating system and sex allocation strategy of the wasp C. glomerata, One part of the study involved the investigation of the percentage of male wasps dispersing before mating in relation to the brood sex ratio (proportion of males). The data obtained by the researchers are on the WeissStats site.

a. Obtain a scatterplot for the data.

b. Is it reasonable to find a regression line for the data? Explain your answer.

Shortleaf Pines. The data from Exercise 4.80 for volume, in cubic feet, and diameter at breast height, in inches, for 70shortleaf pines are on the WeissStats site.

  1. Decide whether use of the linear correlation coefficient as a descriptive measure for the data is appropriate. If so, then also do parts (b)and (c).
  2. obtain the linear correlation coefficient
  3. interpret the value of rin terms of the linear relationship between the two variables in question.

Acreage and Value. The document Arizona Residential Property Valuation System, published by the Arizona Department of Revenue, describes how county assessors use computerized systems to value single-family residential properties for property tax purposes. On the Weiss Stats site are data on lot size (in acres) and assessed value (in thousands of dollars) for a sample of homes in a particular area.

a. Obtain a scatterplot for the data.

b. Decide whether finding a regression line for the data is reasonable. If so, then also do parts (c) - f).

Tax Efficiency. In Exercise 4.58, you determined a regression equation that relates the variables percentage of investments in energy securities and tax efficiency for mutual fund portfolios.

a. Should that regression equation be used to predict the tax efficiency of a mutual fund portfolio with 6.4%of its investments in energy securities? with 15%of its investments in energy securities? Explain your answers.

b. For which percentages of investments in energy securities is use of the regression equation to predict tax efficiency reasonable?
