11. Using a regression equation to make predictions for values of the predictor variable outside the range of the observed values of the predictor variable is called ________
Determine the linear correlation coefficient by formula and definition.

Wasp Mating Systems. In the paper "Mating System and Sex Allocation in the Gregarious Parasitoid Cotesia glomerata" (Animal Behaviour, Vol. , pp. ). 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.
4.78 Gas Guzzlers. The magazine Consumer Reports publishes information on automobile gas mileage and variables that affect gas mileage. In one issue, data on gas mileage (in miles per gallon) and engine displacement (in liters) were published for vehicles. Those data are available on the Weiss Stats site.
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).
The data from Exercise for age and percentage of body fat for 18 randomly selected adults are on the Weiss Stats site.
a. Decide whether use of the linear correlation coefficient as a descriptive measure for the data is appropriate, If so, then also parts and
b. Obtain the linear correlation coefficient.
c. Interpret the value of in terms of the linear relationship between the two variables in question.
