Is wine good for your heart? A researcher from the University of California, San Diego, collected data on average per capita wine consumption and heart disease death rate in a random sample of 19 countries for which data were available. The following table displays the data.

(a) Is there statistically significant evidence of a negative linear relationship between wine consumption and heart disease deaths in the population of countries? Carry out an appropriate significance test at the =0.05level.

(b) Calculate and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a negative linear relationship between wine consumption and heart disease deaths in the population of countries.

b)(-30.4743,-15.4637)

Step by step solution

01

Given Information(Part b)

Given:

n=Sample size=19

c=Confidence level=95%

02

Explanation(Part b)

The estimate of the slope is given in the row "X Variable 1 and in the column "Coefficients" of the output:

b-22.969

The estimate of the standard error of the slope is given in the row "X Variable 1 and in the column "standard error" of the output:

SEb3.557

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

localid="1650543375677" df=n-2=19-2=17

The critical t-value can be found in table B in the row of d f=17 and in the column of c=95% :

t*=2.110

The boundaries of the confidence interval then become:

localid="1650543397407" b-t*SEb=-22.969-2.1103.557=-30.4743

localid="1650543408380" b+t*SEb=-22.969+2.1103.557=-15.4637

03

Given Information(Part a)

Given:

n=19

b=-22.969

SEb=3.557

04

Explanation(Part a)

Determine the hypothesis:

=0

<0

Compute the value of the test statistic:

localid="1650543432666" t=b-0SEb=-22.969-03.557-6.457

The P-value is the probability of obtaining the value of the test statistic, or a value more extreme. The P-value is the number (or interval) in the column title of Table B containing the t-value in the row d f=n-2=19-2=17 :

P<0.0005

If the P-value is less than or equal to the significance level, then the null hypothesis is rejected:

P<0.05RejectH0

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a negative linear relationship between wine consumption and heart disease deaths in the population of countries.

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.

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

Suppose that the mean weight of a certain type of pig is 280poundswith a standard deviation of80pounds. The weight distribution of pigs tends to be somewhat skewed to the right. A random sample of 100pigs is taken. Which of the following statements about

the sampling distribution of the sample mean weight xis true?

(a) It will be Normally distributed with a mean of 280poundsand a standard deviation of 80pounds.

(b) It will be Normally distributed with a mean of 280poundsand a standard deviation of 8pounds.

(c) It will be approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 280poundsand a standard deviation of 80pounds.

(d) It will be approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 280poundsand a standard deviation of 8pounds.

(e) There is not enough information to determine the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

A residual plot from the least-squares regression is shown below. Which of the following statements is supported by the graph

(a) The residual plot contains dramatic evidence that the standard deviation of the response about the population regression line increases as the average number of putts per round increases.

(b) The sum of the residuals is not 0. Obviously, there is a major error present.

(c) Using the regression line to predict a player鈥檚 total winnings from his average number of putts almost always results in errors of less than \(200,000.

(d) For two players, the regression line under predicts their total winnings by more than\)800,000.

(e) The residual plot reveals a strong positive correlation between average putts per round and prediction errors from the least-squares line for these players.

Which of the following statements about the t distribution with degrees of freedom df is (are) true?

I. It is symmetric.

II. It has more variability than the t distribution with df+1degrees of freedom.

III. As df increases, the t distribution approaches the standard Normal distribution.
