Chapter 10: Q. AP3.23 (page 704)

A scatterplot and a least-squares regression line are shown in the figure. What effect does point P have on the slope of the regression line and the correlation?

a. Point P increases the slope and increases the correlation.

b. Point P increases the slope and decreases the correlation.

c. Point P decreases the slope and decreases the correlation.

d. Point P decreases the slope and increases the correlation .

e. No conclusion can be drawn because the other coordinates are unknown.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is - (e) Point P decreases the slope and increases the correlation.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information 

We are given a scatterplot and a point P . We need to find about the slope and correlation .

02

Explanation 

The point P pulls linear squared regression line upwards . The slope decreases whereas correlation tends to increase . Also a positive correlation exists when one variable tends to decrease as the other variable decreases, or one variable tends to increase when the other increases. Hence point P decreases the slope and increases the correlation .

Two samples or paired data? In each of the following settings, decide whether you should use two-sample t procedures to perform inference about a difference in means or paired t procedures to perform inference about a mean difference. Explain your choice.

a. To compare the average weight gain of pigs fed two different diets, nine pairs of pigs were used. The pigs in each pair were littermates. A coin toss was used to decide which pig in each pair got Diet A and which got Diet B.

b. Separate random samples of male and female college professors are taken. We wish to compare the average salaries of male and female teachers.

c. To test the effects of a new fertilizer, 100 plots are treated with the new fertilizer, and 100 plots are treated with another fertilizer. A computer鈥檚 random number generator is used to determine which plots get which fertilizer.

At a baseball game, 42of 65randomly selected people own an iPod. At a rock concert occurring at the same time across town, 34of 52randomly selected people own an iPod. A researcher wants to test the claim that the proportion of iPod owners at the two venues is different. A 90%confidence interval for the difference (Game 鈭� Concert) in population proportions is (鈭�0.154,0.138). Which of the following gives the correct outcome of the researcher鈥檚 test of the claim?

a. Because the confidence interval includes 0, the researcher can conclude that the proportion of iPod owners at the two venues is the same.

b. Because the center of the interval is -0.008, the researcher can conclude that a higher proportion of people at the rock concert own iPods than at the baseball game.

c. Because the confidence interval includes 0, the researcher cannot conclude that the proportion of iPod owners at the two venues is different.

d. Because the confidence interval includes more negative than positive values, the researcher can conclude that a higher proportion of people at the rock concert own iPods than at the baseball game.

e. The researcher cannot draw a conclusion about a claim without performing a significance test.

Don鈥檛 drink the water!The movie A Civil Action (1998) tells the story of a

major legal battle that took place in the small town of Woburn, Massachusetts. A town well that supplied water to east Woburn residents was contaminated by industrial chemicals. During the period that residents drank water from this well, 16of 414babies born had birth defects. On the west side of Woburn, 3of 228babies born during the same time period had birth defects. Let p1be

the true proportion of all babies born with birth defects in west Woburn and p2be the true proportion of all babies born with birth defects in east Woburn. Check if the conditions for calculating a confidence interval forp1-p2are met.

Children make choices Many new products introduced into the market are

targeted toward children. The choice behavior of children with regard to new products is of particular interest to companies that design marketing strategies for these products. As part of one study, randomly selected children in different age groups were compared on their ability to sort new products into the correct product category (milk or juice). Here are some of the data:

Researchers want to know if a greater proportion of 6- to 7-year-olds can sort correctly than 4- to5-year-olds.

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.

Men versus women The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)

Young Adult Literacy Assessment Survey interviewed separate random samples of840

men and 1077women aged 21to 25years.

The mean and standard deviation of scores on the NAEP鈥檚 test of quantitative skills were x1=272.40and s1=59.2for the men in the sample. For the women, the results were x 虅2=274.73and s2=57.5.

a. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the difference in mean score for

male and female young adults.

b. Based only on the interval from part (a), is there convincing evidence of a difference

in mean score for male and female young adults?
