Chapter 3: Q.24 (page 162)

Data on dating Refer to Exercise 20.

(a) How would r change if all the men were 6 inches shorter than the heights given in the table? Does the correlation tell us if women tend to date men taller than themselves?

(b) If heights were measured in centimeters rather than inches, how would the correlation change? (There are 2.54centimeters in an inch.)

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The linear correlation coefficient r will remain unchanged.
  2. The relationship would remain unchanged.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information 

Data:

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

The correlation between mean heights and women's heights will remain unchanged if all men's heights vary by the same amount, and therefore the linear correlation rwill remain unchanged.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information 

Data:

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

The correlation would not change since it is unit-independent.

Measurements

on young children in Mumbai, India, found this least-squares line for predicting height y from the arm span y铃�=6.4+0.93xMeasurements are in centimeters (cm).

By looking at the equation of the least-squares regression line, you can see that the correlation between height and arm span is

(a) greater than zero.

(b) less than zero.

(c) 0.93

(d) 6.4

(e) Can鈥檛 tell without seeing the data.

Measurements on young children in Mumbai, India, found this least-squares line for predicting height y from the arm span x y铃�=6.4+0.93xMeasurements are in centimeters (cm).

In addition to the regression line, the report on the

Mumbai measurements says that r2=0.95.This suggests that

(a) although arm span and height are correlated, arm span does not predict height very accurately.

(b) height increases by 0.95=0.97cm for each additional centimeter of arm span.

(c) 95% of the relationship between height and arm span is accounted for by the regression line.

(d) 95% of the variation in height is accounted for by the regression line.

(e) 95% of the height measurements are accounted for by the regression line.

Born to be old? Is there a relationship between the gestational period (time from conception to birth) of an animal and its average life span? The figure shows a scatterplot of the gestational period and average life span for 43 species of animals.

(a) Describe the direction, form, and strength of the scatterplot.

(b) Three 鈥渦nusual鈥� points are labeled on the graph: Point A is for the hippopotamus, Point B is for the giraffe, and Point C is for the Asian elephant. In what way is each of these animals 鈥渦nusual鈥�?
