Paired tires Exercise 69 in Chapter 8 (page 519 ) compared two methods for estimating tire wear. The first method used the amount of weight lost by a tire. The second method used the amount of wear in the grooves of the tire. A random sample of 16 tires was obtained. Both methods were used to estimate the total distance traveled by each tire. The scatterplot below displays the two estimates (in thousands of miles) for each tire.

Computer output from a least-squares regression analysis of these data is shown below. Assume that the conditions for regression inference are met.

(a) Verify that the 99% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line is (0.5785,1.001).

(b) Researchers want to test whether there is a difference between the two methods of estimating tire wear.

Explain why an appropriate pair of hypotheses for this test isH0:=1versusHa:1

(c) What conclusion would you draw for this significance test based on your interval in part (a)? Justify your answer.

Short Answer

a) (0.5787,1.0017)

b)H0:=1

Ha:1

c) There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim of a difference.

Step by step solution

01

Given information(Part a)

Given:

n=16b=0.79021SEb=0.07104

02

Explanation(Part a)

The degrees of freedom is the sample size decreased by 2 :

df=n-2=16-2=14

The critical t-value can be found in table B in the row of d f=14 and in the column of c=99% :

t*=2.977

The boundaries of the confidence interval then become:

localid="1650543080433" b-t*SEb=0.79021-2.9770.07104=0.5787

localid="1650543092212" b+t*SEb=0.79021+2.9770.07104=1.0017

The slight deviation is due to rounding errors.

03

Given Information(Part b)

Want to test whether there is a difference between the two methods of estimating tire wear.

04

Explanation(Part b)

The two variables both measure the tire wear in the same measurement units. If we want to know if there is a difference, we assume that there is no difference and thus both need to increase by the same amounts, resulting in the null hypothesis

H0:=1

The alternative hypothesis states the opposite of the null hypothesis:

Ha:1

05

Given Information(Part c)

Given:

H0:=1

Ha:1

06

Explanation(Part c)

H0:=1

Ha:1

Confidence interval is given in exercise part (a):

(0.5785,1.001)

The confidence interval contains 1 and thus it is likely to obtain =1, which means that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim of a difference.

Ecologists look at data to learn about nature鈥檚 patterns. One pattern they have found relates the size of a carnivore (body mass in kilograms) to how many of those carnivores there are in an area. The right measure of 鈥渉ow many鈥 is to count carnivores per 10,000kilograms (kg) of their prey in the area. The table below gives data for 25carnivore species

Here is a scatterplot of the data.

(a) The following graphs show the results of two different transformations of the data. Would an exponential model or a power model provide a better description of the relationship between body mass and abundance? Justify your answer.

(b) Minitab output from a linear regression analysis on the transformed data of log(abundance) versus log(body mass) is shown below. Give the equation of the least-squares regression line. Be sure to define any variables you use.

(c) Use your model from part (b) to predict the abundance of black bears, which have a body mass of 92.5kilograms. Show your work.

(d) A residual plot for the linear regression in part (b) is shown below. Explain what this graph tells you about how well the model fits the data.

In the casting of metal parts, molten metal flows through a 鈥済ate鈥 into a die that shapes the part. The gate velocity (the speed at which metal is forced through the gate) plays a critical role in die casting. A firm that casts cylindrical aluminium pistons examined a random sample of 12pistons formed from the same alloy of metal. What is the relationship between the cylinder wall thickness (inches) and the gate velocity (feet per second) chosen by the skilled workers who do the casting? If there is a clear pattern, it can be used to direct new workers or to automate the process. A scatterplot of the data is shown below

A least-squares regression analysis was performed on the data. Some computer output and a residual plot are shown below. A Normal probability plot of the residuals (not shown) is roughly linear.

Do these data provide convincing evidence of a straight-line relationship between thickness and gate velocity in the population of pistons formed from this alloy of metal? Carry out an appropriate significance test at the =0.05level.

A random sample of 900students at a very large university was asked which social-networking site they used most often during a typical week. Their responses are shown in the table below.

Assuming that gender and preferred networking site are independent, which of the following is the expected count for female and LinkedIn?

a)18.85b)46.11c)87.00d)91.65e)103.35

Beavers and beetles Do beavers benefit beetles? Researchers laid out 23 circular plots, every four meters in diameter, at random in an area where beavers were cutting down cottonwood trees. In each plot, they counted the number of stumps from trees cut by beavers and the number of clusters of beetle larvae. Ecologists think that the new sprouts from stumps are more tender than other cottonwood growth so beetles prefer them. If so, more stumps should produce more beetle larvae.

Minitab output for a regression analysis on these data is shown below. Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line. Assume that the conditions for performing inference are met.

The swinging pendulum Refer to Exercise 33. Here is Minitab output from separate regression analyses of the two sets of transformed pendulum data:

Do each of the following for both transformations.

(a) Give the equation of the least-squares regression line. Define any variables you use.

(b) Use the model from part (a) to predict the period of a pendulum with length of 80 centimeters. Show your work.

(c) Interpret the value of s in context
