91Ó°ÊÓ

For a biology project, you measure the weight in grams (g) and the tail length in millimeters (mm) of a group of mice. The equation of the least-squares line for predicting tail length from weight is

predicted tail length =20+3×weight

Which of the following is not correct?

a. The slope is 3, which indicates that a mouse’s predicted tail length should increase by about 3mm for each additional gram of weight.

b. The predicted tail length of a mouse that weighs 38grams is 134millimeters.

c. By looking at the equation of the least-squares line, you can see that the correlation between weight and tail length is positive.

d. If you had measured the tail length in centimeters instead of millimeters, the slope of the regression line would have been 3/10=0.3

e. Mice that have a weight of 0grams will have a tail of length 20mm.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Since we are asked incorrect options, none of these will be the answer as all are correct options.

Step by step solution

01

Part a, Step1: Given Information

We have been that the slope is 3, which indicates that a mouse’s predicted tail length should increase by about 3mm for each additional gram of weight.

02

Part a, Step 2: Explanation

Given,

predictedtaillength=20+3×weight

Hence, slope = 3.

So, this is correct.

03

Part b: Step 1: Given Information

We have been that the predicted tail length of a mouse that weighs 38grams is 134millimeters.

04

Part b: Step 2: Explanation

Replacing weight in the given formula with 38g

predictedtaillength=(20+3×38)mm=134mm

So, this is correct.

05

Part c: Step 1: Given Information

We have been that by looking at the equation of the least-squares line, you can see that the correlation between weight and tail length is positive.

06

Part c: Step 2: Explanation

This is correct option.

07

Part d: Step 1: Given Information 

We have been that if you had measured the tail length in centimeters instead of millimeters, the slope of the regression line would have been 3/10=0.3.

08

Part d: Step 2: Explanation

Since, 10mm=1cm

So, role="math" localid="1653808608556" 1mm=1/10cm3mm=3/10cm=0.3cm

Thus, this is the correct option.

09

Part e: Step 1: Given Information

We have been that mice that have a weight of 0grams will have a tail of length 20mm.

10

Part e: Step 2: Explanation

Replacing weight in the given formula with 0g.

predictedtaillength=(20+3×0)mm=20mm

So, this is correct option.

How is your room? A hotel has 30floors with 40rooms per floor. The rooms on one side of the hotel face the water, while rooms on the other side face a golf course. There is an extra charge for the rooms with a water view. The hotel manager wants to select 120rooms and survey the registered guest in each of the selected rooms about his or her overall satisfaction with the property.

a. Describe how to obtain a sample of 120rooms using stratified random sampling. Explain your choice of strata and why this method might be preferred to simple random sampling.

b. Describe how to obtain a sample of 120rooms using cluster sampling. Explain your choice of clusters and why this method might be preferred to simple random sampling.

Oils and inflammation The extracts of avocado and soybean oils have been shown to slow cell inflammation in test tubes. Will taking avocado and soybean unsaponifiables (called ASU) help relieve pain for subjects with joint stiffness due to arthritis? In an experiment, 345 men and women were randomly assigned to receive either

300 milligrams of ASU daily for three years or a placebo daily for three years.

Explain why it was necessary to include a control group in this experiment.

SRS of engineers? A corporation employs 2000 male and 500 female engineers. A stratified random sample of 200 male and 50 female engineers gives every individual in the population the same chance to be chosen for the sample. Is it an SRS? Explain your answer.

groups. The treatment group would be offered hearing aids, dentures, transportation, and other services not available without charge to the control group. The review board believed that providing these services to some but not other people in the same institution raised ethical questions. Do you agree?

Got deodorant? A group of students wants to perform an experiment to determine

whether Brand Aor Brand Bdeodorant lasts longer. One group member suggests the

following design: Recruit 40student volunteers—20male and20female. Separate by

gender, because male and female bodies might respond differently to deodorant. Give all

the males Brand Adeodorant and all the females Brand B. Have the principal judge how

well the deodorant is still working at the end of the school day on a 0to 10scale. Then

compare ratings for the two treatments.

a. Identify any flaws you see in the proposed design for this experiment.

b. Describe how you would design the experiment. Explain how your design addresses

each of the problems you identified in part (a).
