Galileo studied motion by rolling balls down ramps. He rolled a ball down a ramp with a horizontal shelf at the end of it so that the ball was moving horizontally when it started to fall off the shelf. The top of the ramp was placed at different heights above the floor (that is, the length of the ramp varied), and Galileo measured the horizontal distance the ball traveled before it hit the floor. Here are Galileo鈥檚 data. (We won鈥檛 try to describe the obsolete seventeenth-century units Galileo used to measure distance and height.)

(a) Make an appropriate scatterplot for predicting horizontal distance traveled from ramp height. Describe what you see.

(b) Use transformations to linearize the relationship. Does the relationship between distance and height seem to follow an exponential model or a power model? Justify your answer.

(c) Perform least-squares regression on the transformed data. Give the equation of your regression line. Define any variables you use.

(d) Use your model from part (c) to predict the horizontal distance a ball would travel if the ramp height was 700. Show your work.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given Information

DistanceHeight15001000134082813288001172600800300

02

Part(a) Step 2: Explanation

The scatterplot is swinging higher, hence the direction is positive.

Because there is no straight line connecting the ends, the form is curved.

Because all spots in the same pattern are so close together, the strength is solid.

Part(b) Step 1: Given Information

DistanceHeight15001000134082813288001172600800300

04

Part(b) Step 2: Explanation

Exponential Model

Power Model

The height logarithm is in the horizontal dimension in the Exponential Model, the distance logarithm is in the y axis in the Power Model, and the height logarithm is in the horizontal axis in the Power Model.

The Power Model is used to model the relationship between the variables, with the most linear version shown in the accompanying scatterplot.

Part(c) Step 1: Given Information

DistanceHeight15001000134082813288001172600800300

06

Part(c) Step 2; Explanation

The height and distance values are logarithmic.

Part(d) Step 1: Given Information

The equation from part(c)

y=3.751+0.515x

08

Part(d) Step 2: Explanation

Using the value of x=700in the component equation (c)

lny^=3.751+0.515ln(700)=7.12481

Now we take the Exponential of the above equation

y^=e7.12481=1242.41

Expose marine bacteria to X-rays for time periods from 1to 15minutes. Here are the number of surviving bacteria (in hundreds) on a culture plate after each exposure time.

(a) Make a reasonably accurate scatterplot of the data by hand, using time as the explanatory variable. Describe what you see.

(b) A scatterplot of the natural logarithm of the number of surviving bacteria versus time is shown below. Based on this graph, explain why it would be reasonable to use an exponential model to describe the relationship between the count of bacteria and time.

Insurance adjusters are always vigilant about being overcharged for accident repairs. The adjusters suspect that Repair Shop 1quotes higher estimates than Repair Shop 2. To check their suspicion,

the adjusters randomly select 12cars that were recently involved in an accident and then take each of the cars to both repair shops to obtain separate estimates of the cost to 铿亁 the vehicle. The

estimates are given below in hundreds of dollars.


Assuming that the conditions for inference are reasonably met, which of the following signi铿乧ance tests could legitimately be used to determine whether the adjusters鈥 suspicion is correct?

I. A paired ttest

II. A two-sample ttest

III. A t test to see if the slope of the population regression line is 0.

(a) I only

(b) II only

(c) I and III

(d) II and III

(e) I, II, and III
