Chapter 3: Q 34. (page 175)

If we leave out the low outlier, the correlation for the remaining 13 points in the preceding figure is closest to

a. 鈭�0.95.

b. 鈭�0.65.

c. 0.

d. 0.65.

e. 0.95.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (d)0.65.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

There are total 14 data points out of which one is an outlier.

02

Explanation

Outlier is being removed from the data set.

It is well known that the existence of an outlier in a data collection lowers the linearity of the variables. Also, when the linearity of the correlation decreases, the value of the correlation decreases. The variables would have a strong positive association if the outlier was eliminated, however, the presented scatterplot shows that the variables have a moderate positive relationship because the data points are spread. Thus, the correct option is (d).

More Olympic athletes In Exercises 5 and 11, you described the relationship between height (in inches) and weight (in pounds) for Olympic track and field athletes. The scatterplot shows this relationship, along with two regression lines. The regression line for the shotput, hammer throw, and discus throw athletes (blue squares) is y^=鈭�115+5.13x. The regression line for the remaining athletes (black dots) is y^=鈭�297+6.41x

a. How do the regression lines compare?

b. How much more do you expect a 72-inch discus thrower to weigh than a 72-inch sprinter?

More hot dogs Refer to Exercise 19

a. Explain why it isn鈥檛 correct to say that the correlation is 0.87mg/cal

b. What would happen to the correlation if the variables were reversed on the scatterplot? Explain your reasoning.

c. What would happen to the correlation if sodium was measured in grams instead of milligrams? Explain your reasoning.

Calculating achievement a study found a strong link between the number of calculators possessed by high school pupils and their arithmetic proficiency, according to the principle of a high school. Based on this study, he decides to buy each student at his school two calculators, hoping to improve their math achievement. Explain the flaw in the principal鈥檚 reasoning.

Less gas? Refer to Exercise 38.

a. Interpret the slope of the regression line.

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

Putting success How well do professional golfers putt from various distances to the hole? The data show various distances to the hole (in feet) and the percent of putts made at each distance for a sample of golfers.9 Make a scatterplot by hand that shows how the percent of putts made relates to the distance of the putt.
