Chapter 10: Q. 33 (page 626)

Thirty randomly selected seniors at Council High School were asked to report the age (in years) and mileage of their main vehicles. Here is a scatterplot of the data:

(a) What is the equation of the least-squares regression line? Be sure to define any symbols you use.

(b) Interpret the slope of the least-squares line in the context of this problem. (c) One student reported that her 10-year-old car had110000 miles on it. Find the residual for this data value. Show your work

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The equation of the least-squares regression line is y^=-13832+14954x

(b) The slope of the least-squares line in the context of this problem is 14954miles per year

(c) The residual for this data value is25708miles.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

The least-squares regression line's general equation is:

y^=a+bx

with ythe predicted mileage and x the age

The constant ais given in the column "Coef" and in the row "Constant":

a=-13832

The slope bis given in the row with "Age" and in the column with "Coef"

b=14954

The least-square equation then becomes

y^=-13832+14954x.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

From part (a)

y^=-13832+14954x

y=predicted mileage

x=age

The slope is the coefficient of x

Slope =14954.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

From part (a)

y^=-13832+14954x

Replace xwith 10

y=-13832+14954(10)=135708miles

The discrepancy between the actual and predicted values is the residual:

Residual=y-y^=110000-135708=-25708miles.

The heights of young men follow a Normal distribution with mean of 69.3inches and standard deviation 2.8inches. The heights of young women follow a Normal distribution with mean 64.5inches and standard deviation 2.5inches.

(a) Let M =the height of a randomly selected young man and W =the height of a randomly selected young woman. Describe the shape, center, and spread of the distribution of M-W

(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected young man is at least 2inches taller than a randomly selected young woman. Show your work.

Preventing drowning Drowning in bathtubs is a major cause of death in children less than 5 years old. A random sample of parents was asked many questions related to bathtub safety. Overall, 85% of the sample said they used baby bathtubs for infants. Estimate the percent of all parents of young children who use baby bathtubs.

The Environmental Protection Agency is charged with monitoring industrial emissions that pollute the atmosphere and water. So long as emission levels stay within specified guidelines, the EPA does not take action against the polluter. If the polluter is in violation of the regulations, the offender can be fined, forced to clean up the problem, or possibly closed. Suppose that for a particular industry the acceptable emission level has been set at no more than 5parts per million (5ppm). The null and alternative hypotheses are H0role="math" localid="1650298159260" :渭=5versus Ha=渭>5. Which of the following describes a Type II error?

(a) The EPA fails to find evidence that emissions exceed acceptable limits when, in fact, they are within acceptable limits.

(b) The EPA concludes that emissions exceed acceptable limits when, in fact, they are within acceptable limits.

(c) The EPA concludes that emissions exceed acceptable limits when, in fact, they do exceed acceptable limits.

(d) The EPA takes more samples to ensure that they make the correct decision.

(e) The EPA fails to find evidence that emissions exceed acceptable limits when, in fact, they do exceed acceptable limits.

Explain why the conditions for using two-sample z procedures to perform inference about p1-p2are not met in the settings

Broken crackers We don鈥檛 like to 铿乶d broken crackers when we open the package. How can makers reduce breaking? One idea is to microwave the crackers for 30seconds right after baking them. Breaks start as hairline cracks called 鈥渃hecking.鈥� Assign 65newly baked crackers to the microwave and another 65to a control group that is not microwaved. After one day, none of the microwave group and 16 of the control group show checking.8

Coaching and SAT scores (10.1) What proportion of students who take the SAT twice are coached? To answer this question, Jannie decides to construct a 99%confidence interval. Her work is shown below. Explain what鈥檚 wrong with Jannie鈥檚 method.

A 99%CI for p1-p2is

(0.135-0.865)卤2.5750.135(0.865)3160+0.865(0.135)2733=-0.73卤0.022=(-0.752,-0.708)

We are 99% confident that the proportion of students taking the SAT twice who are coached is between 71 and 75 percentage points lower than students who aren鈥檛 coached.
