A 95%confidence interval for the population slope βis

(a) 1.0466±149.5706.

(b) 1.0466±0.2415.

(c) 1.0466±0.2387.

(d) 1.0466±0.1983.

(e) 1.0466±0.1126.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The slope of the true regression line is 1.0466±0.2415. Therefore, option (b) is the correct option.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given in the question that,

n=16

b=-1.0466

SEb=0.1126

02

Explanation

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

df=n-2

=16-2

=14

The critical t-value can be found in table Bin the row of df=14and in the column of c=95%as:

t*=2.145

Thus, the confidence interval is as:

b±t*×SEb=1.0466±2.145×0.1126

=1.0466±0.2415

Some high school physics students dropped a ball and measured the distance fallen (in centimeters) at various times (in seconds) after its release. If you have studied physics, then you probably know that the theoretical relationship between the variables is distance=490(time)2. A scatterplot of the students’ data showed a clear curved pattern. A scatterplot of which of the following should have a roughly linear pattern?

(a) [time, ln(distance)]

(b) [ln(time), distance]

(c) [ln(time), ln(distance)]

(d) [ln(distance), time]

(e) [distance, ln(time)]
