Age and height A random sample of 195 students was selected from the United Kingdom using the Census At School data selector. The age x (in years) and height y (in centimeters) were recorded for each student. Here is a scatterplot with the least-squares regression line y^=106.1+4.21x. For this model, s = 8.61 and r2 = 0.274.

a. Calculate and interpret the residual for the student who was 141 cm tall at age 10.

b. Interpret the slope of the least-squares regression line.

c. Interpret the value of s.

d. Interpret the value of r2.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) The residual is 7.2

Part (b) The height increases by 4.21cm per year on average.

Part (c) The predicted height of a pupil using the least square regression equation is 8.61cm shorter than the actual height of the student.

Part (d) The least square regression line employing age as an explanatory variable may explain 27.4percent of the variation in height.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

02

Part (a) Step 2: Calculation

The relationship between the height and age of the students is given in the question. And the regression line is as:

y=106.1+4.21x

And also given that the student was 141cmtall at age 10Thus, we have,

x=10y=141

Thus the predicted height of the student is as:

y=106.1+4.21x

=106.1+4.21(10)=148.2

Thus, the residual will be calculated as:

Residual=yy=141148.2=7.2

This means that while using the regression line to make a prediction, we overestimated the height of the student at age 10 by 7.2cm

03

Part (b) Step 1: Calculation

The question specifies the relationship between the students' height and age. The regression line is as follows:

y=106.1+4.21x

Also, at the age of ten, the pupil was 141 cm tall. As a result,

x=10y=141

The slope in the least square regression equation is the coefficient of x, and it indicates the average rise or decrease of y per unit of x Thus,

b1=4.21

As a result, the height increases by 4.21 cm per year on average.

04

Part (c) Step 1: Calculation

The question specifies the relationship between the students' height and age. The regression line is as follows:

y=106.1+4.21x

Also, at the age of ten, the pupil was 141 cm tall. As a result,

x=10y=141

s=8.61 is the value of s. The standard error of the estimations, as we all know, is the average error of forecasts, and thus the average difference between actual and predicted values. Thus, using the equation of least square regression line deviation, a student's anticipated height differs by 8.61cmfrom his or her actual height.

05

Part (d) Step 1: Calculation

The question specifies the relationship between the students' height and age. The regression line is as follows:

y=106.1+4.21x

Also, we have, given that the pupil was 141 cm tall at the age of ten,

x=10y=141

And the value of r2is,

r2=0.274=27.4%

The coefficient of determination, as we know, is a measurement of how much variation in the answers y variable is explained by the least square regression model with the explanatory variable. As a result, the least square regression line employing age as an explanatory variable may explain 27.4percent of the variation in height.

The stock market Some people think that the behavior of the stock market in January predicts its behavior for the rest of the year. Take the explanatory variable x to be the percent change in a stock market index in January and the response variable y to be the change in the index for the entire year. We expect a positive correlation between x and y because the change during January contributes to the full year鈥檚 change. Calculation from data for an 18-year period gives x = X=1.75%sx=5.36%y=9.07%sy=15.35%r=0.596

(a) Find the equation of the least-squares line for predicting full-year change from January change. Show your work.

(b) The mean change in January is x=1.75%. Use your regression line to predict the change in the index in a year in which the index rises1.75% in January. Why could you have given this result (up to roundoff error) without doing the calculation?

Movie candy Is there a relationship between the amount of sugar (in grams) and the number of calories in movie-theater candy? Here are the data from a sample of 12 types of candy:

a. Sketch a scatterplot of the data using sugar as the explanatory variable.

b. Use technology to calculate the equation of the least-squares regression line for predicting the number of calories based on the amount of sugar. Add the line to the scatterplot from part (a).

c. Explain why the line calculated in part (b) is called the 鈥渓east-squares鈥 regression line.

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.
