Chapter 3: Q 41. (page 203)

More wins? Refer to Exercise 37

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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) The slope in the least square regression equation is the coefficient of xand indicates the average rise or decrease of yper unit of x

Part (b) It does not have meaning.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

It is stated in the regression line question that,

y铃�=60.7+0.139x

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

As we know, the slope in the least square regression equation is the coefficient of xand indicates the average rise or decrease of y per unit of xThus, the slope is,

b1=0.139

As a result, the number of wins improves by 0.139wins per million dollars on average.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Explanation

The y-intercept, as we all know, is a constant in the least square regression equation that reflects the average y-value when x is 0 As a result, the y-intercept is:

b0=60.7

When the payroll is zero million dollars, this means there are 60.7 victories. However, having a payroll of zero million dollars is illogical, and the y-value intercepts has no bearing in this situation.

More candy Refer to Exercise 51. Use technology to create a residual plot. Sketch the residual plot and explain what information it provides.

Does fast driving waste fuel? How does the fuel consumption of a car change as its speed increases? Here are data for a British Ford Escort. Speed is measured in kilometers per hour and fuel consumption is measured in liters of gasoline used per 100 kilometers traveled.

a. Make a scatterplot to display the relationship between speed and fuel consumption.

b. Describe the relationship between speed and fuel consumption.

Infant weights in Nahya A study of nutrition in developing countries

collected data from the Egyptian village of Nahyan. Researchers recorded the mean weight (in kilograms) for 170 infants in Nahya each month during their first year of life. A hasty user of statistics enters the data into software and computes the least-squares line without looking at the scatterplot first. The result is weight^=4.88+0.267 (age). Use the residual plot to determine if this linear model is appropriate.

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.

Longer strides In Exercise 43, we summarized the relationship between x =

height of a student (in inches) and y = number of steps required to walk the length of a school hallway, with the regression line y^=113.6鈭�0.921x. For this

model, technology gives s = 3.50 and r2 = 0.399.

a. Interpret the value of s.

b. Interpret the value of r2.
