Chapter 12: Q. 45 (page 791)

Suppose that the relationship between a response variable y and an explanatory variable x is modelled by y=2.7(0.316)x. Which of the following scatterplots would approximately follow a straight line?

(a) A plot of y against x

(b) A plot of y against log x

(c) A plot of log y against x

(d) A plot of log y against log x

(e) None of (a) through (d)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The scatterplots that approximately follow a straight line is option (c) A plot of log y against x.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The relationship between a response variable y and an explanatory variable x is modelled byy=2.7(0.316)x.

02

Explanation

The given equation is

y=2.7(0.316)x

The scatterplot will not be a straight line since this equation represents an exponential function, which is not linear.

If we multiply both sides of the equation by the logarithm, we get:

logy=log2.7(0.316)x=log2.7+log0.316x=log2.7+xlog0.316

This is a linear equation with variables log yand xand thus the scatterplot will be a straight line in this case.

Park rangers are interested in estimating the weight

of the bears that inhabit their state. The rangers have data

on weight (in pounds) and neck girth (distance around

the neck in inches) for 10 randomly selected bears. Some

regression output for these data is shown below.

A bear was recently captured whose neck girth was 35inchesand whose weight was 466.35pounds. If this bear were added to the data set given above, what would be the effect on the value ofr2?

(a) It would decrease the value of r2because the added

point is an outlier.

(b) It would increase the value of r2because any point

added to the data would increase the percent of variation

in bear weight that can be explained by the least-squares

regression line.

(c) It would increase the value of r2because the added

point lies on the least-squares regression line and is far from

the point (x,y)

(d) It would have no effect on the value ofr2 because the

added point lies far from the point (x,y)

(e) It would have no effect on the value of r2because it lies

on the least-squares regression line.

Side effects A drug manufacturer claims that less than 10 % of patients who take its new drug for treating Alzheimer's disease will experience nausea. To test this claim, researchers conduct an experiment. They give the new drug to a random sample of 300 out of 5000 Alzheimer's patients whose families have given informed consent for the patients to participate in the study. In all, 25 of the subjects experience nausea. Use these data to perform a test of the drug manufacturer's claim at the 伪=0.05significance level.

Foresters are interested in predicting the amount of usable lumber they can harvest from various tree species. They collect data on the diameter at breast height (DBH) in inches and the yield in board feet of a random sample of 20Ponderosa pine trees that have been harvested. (Note that a board foot is defined as a piece of lumber 12inches by 12inches by 1inch.) A scatterplot of the data is shown below

(a) Some computer output and a residual plot from a least squares regression on these data appear below. Explain why a linear model may not be appropriate in this case.

(B) Use both models to predict the amount of usable lumber from a Ponderosa pine with diameter 30inches. Show your work.

(c) Which of the predictions in part (b) seems more reliable? Give appropriate evidence to support your choice.

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

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 伪=0.05 level.

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