Chapter 12: Q. AP4.26. (page 803)

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.

(a) I only (c) III only (e) I, II, and III

(b) II only (d) I and II

Short Answer

Expert verified

(e) I, II and III are true.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

we have been given that

tdistribution with degree of freedom df

02

Explanation

I:True, because all t-distributions are symmetric.

II:True, because as the degree of freedom decreases, the t-distribution becomes wider and thus the t-distribution has more variability (when it has a lower degrees of freedom).

III:True, because the larger the degree of freedom, the more closely the t-distribution resembles the standard Normal distribution.

Since, I,IIandIIIare all correct, the correct answer option is(e)I,IIandIII

Brawn versus brain How is the weight of an animal's brain related to the weight of its body?

Researchers collected data on the brain weight (in grams) and body weight (in kilograms) for 96species of mammals. The figure below is a scatterplot of the logarithm of brain weight against the logarithm of body weight for all 96species. The least-squares regression line for the transformed data is

logy^=1.01+0.72logx

Based on footprints and some other sketchy evidence, some people think that a large apelike animal, called Sasquatch or Bigfoot, lives in the Pacific Northwest. His weight is estimated to be about 280pounds, or 127kilograms. How big is Bigfoot鈥檚 brain? Show your method clearly

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

Explain why it would be reasonable to use an exponential model to describe the relationship between the U.S. population in the years 1790 to 1880 and the number of years since 1700. Here is some Minitab output from a linear regression analysis on the transformed data.

A 95%confidence interval for the population slope 尾is

(a) 1.0466卤149.5706.

(b) 1.0466卤0.2415.

(c) 1.0466卤0.2387.

(d) 1.0466卤0.1983.

(e) 1.0466卤0.1126.

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.

Which of the following represents a 95% confidence interval for the true slope of the least-squares regression line relating the weight of a bear and its neck girth?

(a)241.710卤38.57(b)241.70卤88.94(c)20.230卤1.695(d)20.230卤3.83(e)20.230卤3.91
