Chapter 3: Q 16. (page 173)

Oh, that smarts! Infants who cry easily may be more easily stimulated than others. This may be a sign of a higher IQ. Child development researchers explored the relationship between the crying of infants 4 to 10 days old and their IQ test scores at age 3 years. A snap of a rubber band on the sole of the foot caused the infants to cry. The researchers recorded the crying and measured its intensity by the number of peaks in the most active 20 seconds. The correlation for these data is r=0.45.16 Interpret the correlation.

Short Answer

Expert verified

There is a weak and positive association between the count of crying peaks and IQ at age 3 years.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Correlation, r=0.45

02

Explanation

A positive linear correlation exists when r is positive.

A negative linear correlation exists when r is negative.

For weak correlation,

For moderate correlation,

For strong correlation,

Note that

The association between the crying of infants 4 to 10 days old and their IQ test scores at the age of 3 years is a weak and positive association.

Correlation isn鈥檛 everything Marc and Rob are both high school English teachers. Students think that Rob is a harder grader, so Rob and Marc decide to grade the same 10 essays and see how their scores compare. The correlation is r=0.98 but Rob鈥檚 scores are always lower than Marc鈥檚. Draw a possible scatterplot that illustrates this situation.

Residual wins Refer to Exercise 37. The Chicago Cubs won the World

Page Number: 203 Series in 2016. They had 103 wins and spent $182 million on the payroll. Calculate and interpret the residual for the Cubs.

Long-term records from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania show interesting ecological relationships. When wildebeest are more abundant, they graze the grass more heavily, so there are fewer fires and more trees grow. Lions feed more successfully when there are more trees, so the lion population increases. Researchers collected data on one part of this cycle, wildebeest abundance (in thousands of animals) and the percent of the grass area burned in the same year. The results of a least-squares regression on the data are shown here.


a. Is a linear model appropriate for describing the relationship between wildebeest abundance and percent of grass area burned? Explain.

b. Give the equation of the least-squares regression line. Be sure to define any variables you use.

c. Interpret the slope. Does the value of the y-intercept have meaning in this context? If so, interpret the y-intercept. If not, explain why.

d. Interpret the standard deviation of the residuals and r2.

You have data for many years on the average price of a barrel of oil and the average retail price of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline. If you want to see how well the price of oil predicts the price of gas, then you should make a scatterplot with ___________ as the explanatory variable.

a. the price of oil

b. the price of gas

c. the year

d. either oil price or gas price

e. time
