Drive my car

a. Explain what the value of r2tells you about how well the least-squares line

fits the data.

b. The mean age of the students鈥� cars in the sample was x虅=5 years.

Find the mean mileage of the cars in the sample.

c. Interpret the value of s.

d. Would it be reasonable to use the least-squares line to predict a car鈥檚 mileage from its age for a Council High School teacher? Justify your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. It tells us about the variation between variables is best explained by least square regression line.

b. Mean mileage is 105800miles.

c. s=22723

d. We can't use least squares line to predict the mileage of cars of teachers.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that

02

Importance of r2

From table, r2=77%=0.77

Hence, 77%of variation between variables is explained by least square regression line.

03

Mean Mileage

Lest square regression line is y^=a+bx

From table a=-13832

b=14954

Least square equation becomes

y^=-13832+14954x

Now, (x炉,y炉)lies on least square regression line, so mean mileage is obtained by replacing xby x炉

hence, y炉=y^

=-13832+14954x炉

=-13832+14954(8)

=105800

hence, mean mileage is105800miles.

04

Value of s

From table, s=22723

Hence, error made when predicting the mileage using least square regression line is on average22723miles.

05

Reason to use Least Square Line

It is due to the fact that least square was determined using data of students.

It is not representative of teachers and we cannot it to predict the mileage of cars of teachers.

Ice cream For a statistics class project, Jonathan and Crystal held an ice-cream-eating contest. They randomly selected 29 males and 35 females from their large high school to participate. Each student was given a small cup of ice cream and instructed to eat it as fast as possible. Jonathan and Crystal then recorded each contestant鈥檚 gender and time (in seconds), as shown in the dot plots.

Do these data give convincing evidence of a difference in the population means at the 伪=0.103051526=0.200=20.0%伪=0.10 significance level?

a. State appropriate hypotheses for performing a significance test. Be sure to define the parameters of interest.

b. Check if the conditions for performing the test are met.

Researchers want to evaluate the effect of a natural product on reducing blood pressure. They plan to carry out a randomized experiment to compare the mean reduction in blood pressure of a treatment (natural product) group and a placebo group. Then they will use the data to perform a test of H0:渭T鈭�渭P=0versus Ha:渭T鈭�渭P>0, where 渭T= the true mean reduction in blood pressure when taking the natural product and 渭P = the true mean reduction in blood pressure when taking a placebo for subjects like the ones in the experiment. The researchers would like to detect whether the natural product reduces blood pressure by at least 7points more, on average, than the placebo. If groups of size 50are used in the experiment, a twosample t test using 伪=0.01will have a power of 80%to detect a 7-point difference in mean blood pressure reduction. If the researchers want to be able to detect a 5-point difference instead, then the power of the test

a. would be less than 80%.

b. would be greater than 80%.

c. would still be 80%.

d. could be either less than or greater than 80%.

e. would vary depending on the standard deviation of the data

A certain candy has different wrappers for various holidays. During Holiday 1, the candy wrappers are 30%silver, 30%red, and 40%pink. During Holiday 2, the wrappers are 50%silver and 50%blue. In separate random samples of 40candies on Holiday 1and 40candies on Holiday 2, what are the mean and standard deviation of the total number of silver wrappers?

a. 32,18.4

b.32,6.06

c.32,4.29

d.80,18.4

e.80,4.29

Let X represent the outcome when a fair six-sided die is rolled. For this random variable, 渭X=3.5and 蟽X=1.71. If the die is rolled 100 times, what is the approximate probability that the sum is at least 375?

a. 0.0000

b.0.0017

c.0.0721

d.0.4420

e.0.9279

Where鈥檚 Egypt? In a Pew Research poll, 287out of 522randomly selected U.S. men were able to identify Egypt when it was highlighted on a map of the Middle East. When520 randomly selected U.S. women were asked, 233 were able to do so.

a. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the true

proportion of U.S. men and U.S. women who can identify Egypt on a map.

b. Based on your interval, is there convincing evidence of a difference in the true

proportions of U.S. men and women who can identify Egypt on a map? Justify your

answer.
