The recommended air pressure in a basketball is between 7 and 9 pounds per square inch (psi). When dropped from a height of 6 feet, a properly inflated basketball should bounce upward between 52 and 56 inches (http://www.bestsoccerbuys.com/balls-basketball.html). The basketball coach at a local high school purchased 10 new basketballs for the upcoming season, inflated the balls to pressures between 7 and \(9 \mathrm{psi}\), and performed the bounce test mentioned above. The data obtained are given in the following table. $$ \begin{array}{l|rrrrrrrrrr} \hline \text { Pressure (psi) } & 7.8 & 8.1 & 8.3 & 7.4 & 8.9 & 7.2 & 8.6 & 7.5 & 8.1 & 8.5 \\ \hline \text { Bounce height (inches) } & 54.1 & 54.3 & 55.2 & 53.3 & 55.4 & 52.2 & 55.7 & 54.6 & 54.8 & 55.3 \\ \hline \end{array} $$ a. With the pressure as an independent variable and bounce height as a dependent variable, compute \(\mathrm{SS}_{x x}, \mathrm{SS}_{y y}\), and \(\mathrm{SS}_{x y}\) b. Find the least squares regression line. c. Interpret the meaning of the values of \(a\) and \(b\) calculated in part \(\mathrm{b}\). d. Calculate \(r\) and \(r^{2}\) and explain what they mean. e. Compute the standard deviation of errors. f. Predict the bounce height of a basketball for \(x=8.0\). g. Construct a \(98 \%\) confidence interval for \(B\). h. Test at a \(5 \%\) significance level whether \(B\) is different from zero. i. Using \(\alpha=.05\), can you conclude that \(\rho\) is different from zero?
A sample data set produced the following information. $$ \begin{aligned} &n=12, \quad \Sigma x=66, \quad \Sigma y=588, \quad \Sigma x y=2244, \\ &\Sigma x^{2}=396, \quad \text { and } \quad \Sigma y^{2}=58,734 \end{aligned} $$ a. Calculate the linear correlation coefficient \(r .\) b. Using a \(1 \%\) significance level, can you conclude that \(\rho\) is negative?
