Chapter 3: Q 19. (page 173)

Hot dogs Are hot dogs that are high in calories and also high in salt? The

following scatterplot shows the calories and salt content (measured in milligrams of sodium) in 17 brands of meat hot dogs.

a. The correlation for these data is r=0.87 Interpret this value.

b. What effect does the hot dog brand with the smallest calorie content have on the correlation? Justify your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) There is a fairly strong and positive association between the calories and sodium in 17brands of meat hot dogs.

Part (b) The linear correlation coefficient would increase.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

Correlation, r = 0.87

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

A positive linear correlation exists when r is positive.

A negative linear correlation exists when r is negative.

For weak correlation,

0<|r|<0.5

For moderate correlation,

0.5<|r|<0.8

For strong correlation,

0.8<|r|<1

Note that

The association between the calories and sodium in 17 brands of meat hot dogs is a strong and positive association.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Explanation

Note that

The point with the lowest calorie content in the scatterplot does not follow the general linear pattern of the other data points.

Thus,

When this point is removed from the data collection, the data seems to be more linear.

Hence,

There will be an increase in the linear correlation coefficient.

It鈥檚 still early We expect that a baseball player who has a high batting average in the first month of the season will also have a high batting average for the rest of the season. Using 66 Major League Baseball players from a recent season,33 a least-squares regression line was calculated to predict rest-of-season batting average y from first-month batting average x. Note: A player鈥檚 batting average is the proportion of times at-bat that he gets a hit. A batting average over 0.300 is considered very good in Major League Baseball.

a. State the equation of the least-squares regression line if each player had the same batting average the rest of the season as he did in the first month of the season.

b. The actual equation of the least-squares regression line is y^=0.245+0.109x

Predict the rest-of-season batting average for a player who had a 0.200 batting average the first month of the season and for a player who had a 0.400 batting average the first month of the season.

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

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.

Late bloomers? Japanese cherry trees tend to blossom early when spring weather is warm and later when spring weather is cool. Here are some data on the average March temperature (in degrees Celsius) and the day in April when the first cherry blossom appeared over a 24-year period:

a. Make a well-labeled scatterplot that鈥檚 suitable for predicting when the cherry trees will blossom from the temperature. Which variable did you choose as the explanatory variable? Explain your reasoning.

b. Use technology to calculate the correlation and the equation of the least-squares regression line. Interpret the slope and y-intercept of the line in this setting.

c. Suppose that the average March temperature this year was 8.2掳C. Would you be willing to use the equation in part (b) to predict the date of the first blossom? Explain your reasoning.

d. Calculate and interpret the residual for the year when the average March temperature was 4.5掳C.

e. Use technology to help construct a residual plot. Describe what you see.

Managing diabetes People with diabetes measure their fasting plasma glucose (FPG, measured in milligrams per milliliter) after fasting for at least 8 hours. Another measurement, made at regular medical checkups, is called HbA. This is roughly the percent of red blood cells that have a glucose molecule attached. It measures average exposure to glucose over a period of several months. The table gives data on both HbA and FPG for 18 diabetics five months after they had completed a diabetes education class.

a. Make a scatterplot with HbA as the explanatory variable. Describe what you see.

b. Subject 18 is an outlier in the x-direction. What effect do you think this subject has on the correlation? What effect do you think this subject has on the equation of the least-squares regression line? Calculate the correlation and equation of the least-squares regression line with and without this subject to confirm your answer.

c. Subject 15 is an outlier in the y-direction. What effect do you think this subject has on the correlation? What effect do you think this subject has on the equation of the least-squares regression line? Calculate the correlation and equation of the least-squares regression line with and without this subject to confirm your answer.

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
