Drive my car

a. What is the equation of the least-squares regression line? Be sure to define any symbols you use.

b. Interpret the slope of the least-squares line.

c. One student reported that her 10-year-old car had 110,000 miles on it. Find and

interpret the residual for this data point.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. y^=-13832+14954x

b. Slope is Slope=14954

c. The residual is-25708miles.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that Least square regression line is given by:

y^=a+bx

y^is predicted mileage andxis the age.

02

Equation of least square regression line

Constant ais given in row with Age and in column with Coef.

a=-13832

Slope bis given in row with age and in column with Coef.

b=14954

So, lest square equation becomes:

y^=-13832+14954x

y^is predicted mileage and x is age.

03

Slope of above line

From above part y^=-13832+14954x

Coefficient of xis slope.

Hence, slope is 14954miles per year.

04

Residual

The data points is given to be x=10

Hence, y^=-13832+14954x

=-13832+14954(10)

=135708miles

Residual is y-y^

=110000-135708

=-25708miles

So, predict overestimates the mileage by25708miles.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Steroids in high school Refer to Exercise 16.

a. Explain why the sample results give some evidence for the alternative hypothesis.

b. Calculate the standardized test statistic and P-value.

c. What conclusion would you make?

Researchers wondered whether maintaining a patient鈥檚 body temperature close to normal by heating the patient during surgery would affect rates of infection of wounds. Patients were assigned at random to two groups: the normothermic group (core temperatures were maintained at near normal, 36.5掳C, using heating blankets) and the hypothermic group (core temperatures were allowed to decrease to about 34.5掳C). If keeping patients warm during surgery alters the chance of infection, patients in the two groups should show a difference in the average length of their hospital stays. Here are summary statistics on hospital stay (in number of days) for the two groups:

a. Construct and interpret a 95%confidence interval for the difference in the true mean length of hospital stay for normothermic and hypothermic patients like these.

b. Does your interval in part (a) suggest that keeping patients warm during surgery affects the average length of patients鈥� hospital stays? Justify your answer.

c. Interpret the meaning of 鈥�95%confidence鈥� in the context of this study.

Which inference method?

a. A city planner wants to determine if there is convincing evidence of a difference in the average number of cars passing through two different intersections. He randomly selects 12times between 6:00a.m. and 10:00p.m., and he and his assistant count the number of cars passing through each intersection during the 10-minute interval that begins at that time.

b. Are more than 75%of Toyota owners generally satisfied with their vehicles? Let鈥檚 design a study to find out. We鈥檒l select a random sample of 400 Toyota owners. Then we鈥檒l ask each individual in the sample, 鈥淲ould you say that you are generally satisfied with your Toyota vehicle?鈥�

c. Are male college students more likely to binge drink than female college students? The Harvard School of Public Health surveys random samples of male and female undergraduates at four-year colleges and universities about whether they have engaged in binge drinking.

d. A bank wants to know which of two incentive plans will most increase the use of its credit cards and by how much. It offers each incentive to a group of current credit card customers, determined at random, and compares the amount charged during the following 6 months.

A quiz question gives random samples of n=10observations from each of two Normally distributed populations. Tom uses a table of t distribution critical values and 9degrees of freedom to calculate a 95%confidence interval for the difference in the two population means. Janelle uses her calculator's two-sample t Interval with 16.87degrees of freedom to compute the 95%confidence interval. Assume that both students calculate the intervals correctly. Which of the following is true?

(a) Tom's confidence interval is wider.

(b) Janelle's confidence Interval is wider.

(c) Both confidence Intervals are the same.

(d) There is insufficient information to determine which confidence interval is wider.

(e) Janelle made a mistake, degrees of freedom has to be a whole number.

A study of the impact of caffeine consumption on reaction time was designed to correct for the impact of subjects鈥� prior sleep deprivation by dividing the 24subjects into 12pairs on the basis of the average hours of sleep they had had for the previous 5 nights. That is, the two with the highest average sleep were a pair, then the two with the next highest average sleep, and so on. One randomly assigned member of each pair drank 2cups of caffeinated coffee, and the other drank 2cups of decaf. Each subject鈥檚 performance on a Page Number: 690standard reaction-time test was recorded. Which of the following is the correct check of the 鈥淣ormal/Large Sample鈥� condition for this significance test?

I. Confirm graphically that the scores of the caffeine drinkers could have come from a Normal distribution.

II. Confirm graphically that the scores of the decaf drinkers could have come from a Normal distribution.

III. Confirm graphically that the differences in scores within each pair of subjects could have come from a Normal distribution.

a. I only

b. II only

c. III only

d. I and II only

e. I, I, and III
