Chapter 3: Q 72. (page 209)

Each year, students in an elementary school take a standardized math test at the end of the school year. For a class of fourth-graders, the average score was 55.1 with a standard deviation of 12.3. In the third grade, these same students had an average score of 61.7 with a standard deviation of 14.0. The correlation between the two sets of scores is r = 0.95. Calculate the equation of the least-squares regression line for predicting a fourth-grade score from a third-grade score.

a. y^=3.58+0.835x

b. y^=15.69+0.835x

c. y^=2.19+1.08x

d. y^=鈭�11.54+1.08x

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (a)y铃�=3.58+0.835x

Step by step solution

01

Given information

y铃�=55.1,sy=12.3,x=61.7,sx=14,r=0.95

02

Explanation

The slope could be calculated as:

b=r脳sysx=0.95(12.314.0)=0.835

The intercept could be calculated as:

a=y鈭�bx=55.1鈭�0.835(61.7)=3.60

Thus, the equation of the regression line is:

y铃�=a+bx=3.60+0.835x

Hence, the correct option is (a).

Most popular questions from this chapter

Residual gas Refer to Exercise 38. During March, the average temperature was 46.4掳F and Joan used an average of 490 cubic feet of gas per day. Calculate and interpret the residual for this month.

Crickets keep chirping In Exercise 44, we summarized the relationship between x = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and y = chirps per minute for the striped ground cricket, with the regression line y^=鈥�0.31+0.212x. For this model, technology gives s = 0.97 and r2 = 0.697.

a. Interpret the value of s.

b. Interpret the value of r2.

Fuel economy (2.2) In its recent Fuel Economy Guide, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gives data on 1152 vehicles. There are a number of outliers, main vehicles with very poor gas mileage or hybrids with very good gas mileage. If we ignore the outliers, however, the combined city and highway gas mileage of the other 1120 or so vehicles is approximately Normal with a mean of 18.7 miles per gallon (mpg) and a standard deviation of 4.3 mpg.

a. The Chevrolet Malibu with a four-cylinder engine has a combined gas mileage of 25 mpg. What percent of the 1120 vehicles have worse gas mileage than the Malibu?

b. How high must a vehicle鈥檚 gas mileage be in order to fall in the top 10% of the 1120 vehicles?

Driving speed and fuel consumption Exercise 9 (page 171) gives data on the fuel consumption y of a car at various speeds x. Fuel consumption is measured in liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers driven, and speed is measured in kilometers per hour. A statistical software package gives the least-squares regression line y^=11.058鈥�0.01466x. Use the residual plot to determine if this linear model is appropriate.

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.
