More heavy backpacks Refer to your graph from Exercise 3 Describe the relationship between body weight and backpack weight for this group of hikers.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Linear, positive, and moderately strong association with one outlier.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

For scatterplot:

On horizontal axis: Bodyweight

On vertical axis: Backpack weight

02

Explanation

Strength: The spots in the scatterplot aren't too close together and aren't too far apart either. As a result, strength will be moderate.

Form: There is no substantial curvature in the scatterplot. As a result, the shape will be linear.

Direction: The pattern's upward slope means the direction will be positive.

Unusual features: The rightmost point in the scatterplot appears to vary greatly from the general linear trend seen in the other points. As a result, there is one outlier.

b. Describe the relationship between speed and fuel consumption.

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 xto be the percent change in a stock market index in January and the response variable yto be the change in the index for the entire year. We expect a positive correlation between xand y because the change during January contributes to the full year鈥檚 change. Calculation from data for an 18-year period gives

x炉=1.75%sz=5.36%y炉=9.07%sy=15.35%r=0.596

(a) What percent of the observed variation in yearly changes in the index is explained by a straight-line relationship with the change during January?

(b) For these data, s=8.3Explain what this value means

Fruit fly thorax lengths (2.2) Fruit flies are used frequently in genetic research because of their quick reproductive cycle. The length of the thorax (in millimeters) for male fruit flies is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 0.80 mm and a standard deviation of 0.08 mm.21
