The professor swims Here are data on the time (in minutes) Professor Moore takes to swim 2000 yards and his pulse rate (beats per minute) after swimming for a random sample of 23 days:

(a) Is there statistically significant evidence of a negative linear relationship between Professor Moore's swim time and his pulse rate in the population of days on which he swims 2000 yards?

Carry out an appropriate significance test at the =0.05 level.

(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 Professor Moore's swim time and his pulse rate in the population of days on which he swims 2000 yards.

b)(-13.6241,-5.7659)

Step by step solution

01

Given Information(Part a)

Given:

n=23

b=-9.695

SEb=1.889

02

Explanation(Part a)

Determine the hypothesis:

H0:=0

Ha:<0

Compute the value of the test statistic:

localid="1650543668177" t=b-0SEb=-9.695-01.889-5.132

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 localid="1650543673841" df=n-2=23-2=21:

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 Professor Moore's swim time and his pulse rate in the population of days on which he swims 2000 yards.

03

Given Information(Part b)

Given:

n=23

b=-9.695

SEb=1.889

04

Explanation(Part b)

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

df=n-2=23-2=21

The critical t-value can be found in table B in the row of d f=21 and in the column of c=95% :

t*=2.080

The boundaries of the confidence interval then become:

localid="1650543691786" b-t*SEb=-9.695-2.0801.889=-13.6241

localid="1650543696751" b+t*SEb=-9.695+2.0801.889=-5.7659

Which of the following would provide evidence that a power law model of the form y=axbwhere b0andb1, describes the relationship between a response variable yand an explanatory variable x.

(a) A scatterplot of yversus xlooks approximately linear.

(b) A scatterplot of ln yversus xlooks approximately linear.

(c) A scatterplot of yversus ln xlooks approximately linear.

(d) A scatterplot of ln yversus ln xlooks approximately linear.

(e) None of these.

Two six-sided dice are rolled and the sum of the faces showing is recorded after each roll. Let X=the number of rolls required until a sum greater than 7is obtained. If 100trials are conducted, which of the following is most likely to be part of the probability distribution of X?

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.

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.

Lamb鈥檚-quarter is a common weed that interferes with the growth of corn. An agriculture researcher planted corn at the same rate in 16small plots of ground and then weeded the plots by hand to allow a fixed number of lamb鈥檚-quarter plants to grow in each meter of the cornrow. The decision of how many of these plants to leave in each plot was made at random. No other weeds were allowed to grow. Here are the yields of corn (bushels per acre) in each of the plots.

(b) What is the equation of the least-squares regression line for predicting corn yield from the number of lamb鈥檚 quarter plants per meter? Define any variables you use.

(c) Interpret the slope and y-intercept of the regression line in context.

(d) Do these data provide convincing evidence that more weeds reduce corn yield? Carry out an appropriate test at the A =0.05level to help answer this question.
