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.

A local investment club that meets monthly has 200members ranging in age from 27to81. A cumulative relative frequency graph is shown below. Approximately how many members of the club are more than60 years of age?

In physics class, the intensity of a 100-watt light bulb was measured by a sensor at various distances from the light source. A scatterplot of the data is shown below. Note that a candela (cd) is a unit of luminous intensity in the International System of Unit

Physics textbooks suggest that the relationship between light intensity y and distance x should follow an 鈥渋nverse square law,鈥 that is, a power-law model of the form y=ax-2. We transformed the distance measurements by squaring them and then taking their reciprocals. Some computer output and a residual plot from a least-squares regression analysis on the transformed data are shown below. Note that the horizontal axis on the residual plot displays predicted light intensity

(a) Did this transformation achieve linearity? Give appropriate evidence to justify your answer.

(b) What would you predict for the intensity of a 100-watt bulb at a distance of 2.1meters? Show your work.

An old saying in golf is 鈥淵ou drive for show and you putt for dough.鈥 The point is that good putting is more important than long driving for shooting low scores and hence winning money. To see if this is the case, data from a random sample of 69 of the nearly 1000 players on the PGA Tour鈥檚 world money list are examined. The average number of putts per hole and the player鈥檚 total winnings for the previous season are recorded. A least-squares regression line was fitted to the data. The following results were obtained from statistical software.

A 95%confidence interval for the slope Bof the population regression line is

(c)4,139,1981,698,371

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.
