Chapter 3: Q 10. (page 172)

Do muscles burn energy? Metabolic rate, the rate at which the body consumes energy, is important in studies of weight gain, dieting, and exercise. We have data on the lean body mass and resting metabolic rate of 12 women who are subjects in a study on dieting. Lean body mass, given in kilograms, is a person鈥檚 weight leaving out all fat. Metabolic rate is measured in calories burned per 24 hours. The researchers believe that lean body mass is an

important influence on metabolic rate.

a. Make a scatterplot to display the relationship between lean body mass and metabolic rate.

b. Describe the relationship between lean body mass and metabolic rate.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (b) Linear, positive and moderately strong association without outliers.

Part (a)

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

Data on 12 women's lean body mass and resting metabolic rate:

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

For Scatterplot:

On horizontal axis: Lean body mass

On vertical axis: Metabolic rate

03

Part (b) Step 1: Explanation

Strength: The scatterplot's spots do not lie closer together, nor do they sprawl widely away. As a result, the strength will be mild.

Unusual features: Because there are no points in the scatterplot that deviate significantly from the overall pattern. As a result, there are no outliers.

Form: Because there is no substantial curvature in the scatterplot. As a result, the shape will be linear.

Direction: Because the scatterplot's pattern is upwards sloping. As a result, the trend will be positive.

Scientists examined the activity level of 7 fish at different temperatures. Fish activity was rated on a scale of 0 (no activity) to 100 (maximal activity). The temperature was measured in degrees Celsius. A computer regression printout and a residual plot are provided. Notice that the horizontal axis on the residual plot is labeled 鈥淔itted value,鈥� which means the same thing as 鈥減redicted value.鈥�

What is the correlation between temperature and fish activity?

a. 0.95

b. 0.91

c. 0.45

d. 鈥�0.91

e. 鈥�0.95

Using data from the LPGA tour, a regression analysis was performed using x = average driving distance and y = scoring average. Using the output from the regression analysis shown below, determine the equation of the least-squares regression line.

a. y^=87.974+2.391x

b. y^=87.974+1.01216x

c. y^=87.974鈭�0.060934x

d. y^=鈭�0.060934+1.01216x

e. y^=鈭�0.060934+87.947x

Actual consumption Refer to Exercise 48. Use the equation of the least-squares regression line and the residual plot to estimate the actual fuel consumption of the car when driving 20 kilometers per hour.

Stand mixers The scatterplot shows the weight (in pounds) and cost (in dollars) of 11 stand mixers.35 The mixer from Walmart (highlighted in red) was much lighter鈥攁nd cheaper than the other mixers.

a. Describe what influence the highlighted point has on the equation of the least-squares regression line.

b. Describe what influence the highlighted point has on the standard deviation of the residuals and r2

Will I bomb the final? We expect that students who do well on the midterm exam in a course will usually also do well on the final exam. Gary Smith of Pomona College looked at the exam scores of all 346 students who took his statistics class over a 10-year period. Assume that both the midterm and final exams were scored out of 100 points.

a. State the equation of the least-squares regression line if each student scored the same on the midterm and the final.

b. The actual least-squares line for predicting final exam score y from midterm-exam score x was y^=46.6+0.41x. Predict the score of a student who scored

50 on the midterm and a student who scored 100 on the midterm.

c. Explain how your answers to part (b) illustrate regression to the mean.
