Chapter 3: Q T3.5. (page 201)

Scientists examined the activity level of fish at 7 different temperatures. The fish activity was rated on a scale of 0 (no activity) to 100 (maximal activity). The temperature was measured in degrees Celsius. A computer regression printout and a residual plot are given below. Notice that the horizontal axis

on the residual plot is labeled 鈥減redicted (F/T).

What was the activity level rating for the fish at a temperature of 20.4掳C?

(a)86(b)83(c)80(d)66(e)3

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is (b) 83

Step by step solution

01

Given information

02

Concept

A regression line is a straight line that depicts the relationship between an explanatory variable x and a response variable y By entering any value of x into the equation of the line, you may use a regression line to anticipate the value of y for any value of x

03

Calculation

The Y-intercept is 148.617and the slope is 3.21667according to the output. The linear regression equation will be: Y铃�=148.617鈭�3.21667X

If X=20.4掳Cthen the predicted activity level will be Y铃�=148.617鈭�3.21667X=148.617鈭�3.21667(20.4)=82.9969鈮�83

As a result, option (b) is the best choice.

How strong is the relationship? Justify your answer

A school guidance counselor examines the number of extracurricular activities that students do and their grade point average. "The evidence suggests that the association between the number of extracurricular activities a kid participates in and his or her grade point average is close to zero," the guidance counsellor explains.鈥� A correct interpretation of this statement would be that

(a) active students tend to be students with poor grades, and vice versa.

(b) students with good grades tend to be students who are not involved in many extracurricular activities, and vice versa.

(c) students involved in many extracurricular activities are just as likely to get good grades as bad grades; the same is true for students involved in few extracurricular activities.

(d) there is no linear relationship between a number of activities and grade point average for students at this school.

(e) involvement in many extracurricular activities and good grades go hand in hand.

Merlins breeding Exercise 13 (page 160) gives data on the number of breeding pairs of merlins in an isolated area in each of nine years and the percent of males who returned the next year. The data show that the percent returning is lower after successful breeding seasons and that the relationship is roughly linear. The figure below shows the Minitab regression output for these data.

(a) What is the equation of the least-squares regression line for predicting the percent of males that

return from the number of breeding pairs? Use the equation to predict the percent of returning males after a season with 30 breeding pairs.

(b) What percent of the year-to-year variation in the percent of returning males is explained by the straight-line relationship with a number of breeding pairs the previous year?

(c) Use the information in the figure to find the correlation r between the percent of males that return and the number of breeding pairs. How do you know whether the sign of r is + or 鈭�?

(d) Interpret the value of s in this setting.

Teaching and research A college newspaper interviews a psychologist about student ratings of the teaching of faculty members. The psychologist says, 鈥淭he evidence indicates that the correlation between the research productivity and teaching rating of faculty members is close to zero.鈥� The paper reports this as 鈥淧rofessor McDaniel said that good researchers tend to be poor teachers, and vice versa.鈥� Explain why the paper鈥檚 report is wrong. Write a statement in plain language (don鈥檛 use the word 鈥渃orrelation鈥�) to explain the psychologist鈥檚 meaning.

Outsourcing by airlines Exercise 5 (page 158) gives data for 14 airlines on the percent of major maintenance outsourced and the percent of flight delays blamed on the airline.

(a) Make a scatterplot with outsourcing percent as x and delay percent as y Hawaiian Airlines is a high outlier in the y-direction. Because several other airlines have similar values of x the influence of this outlier is unclear without actual calculation.

(b) Find the correlation rwith and without Hawaiian Airlines. How influential is the outlier for correlation?

(c) Find the least-squares line for predicting yfrom xwith and without Hawaiian Airlines. Draw both lines on your scatterplot. Use both lines to predict the percent of delays blamed on an airline that has outsourced 76%of its major maintenance. How influential is the outlier for the least-squares line?
