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).

Penguins diving A study of king penguins looked for a relationship between how deep the penguins dive to seek food and how long they stay underwater.41 For all but the shallowest dives, there is an association between x = depth (in meters) and y = dive duration (in minutes) that is different for each penguin. The study gives a scatterplot for one penguin titled 鈥淭he Relation of Dive Duration (y) to Depth (x).鈥� The scatterplot shows an association that is positive, linear, and strong.

a. Explain the meaning of the term positive association in this context.

b. Explain the meaning of the term linear association in this context.

c. Explain the meaning of the term strong association in this context.

d. Suppose the researchers reversed the variables, using x = dive duration and y = depth.

Do muscles burn energy? Metabolic rate, the rate at which the body consumes energy, is important in studies of weight gain, dieting, and exercise. We have data on the lean body mass and resting metabolic rate of 12 women who are subjects in a study on dieting. Lean body mass, given in kilograms, is a person鈥檚 weight leaving out all fat. Metabolic rate is measured in calories burned per 24 hours. The researchers believe that lean body mass is an

important influence on metabolic rate.

a. Make a scatterplot to display the relationship between lean body mass and metabolic rate.

b. Describe the relationship between lean body mass and metabolic rate.

One child in the Mumbai study had height 59 cm and arm span 60 cm. This child鈥檚 residual is

a. 鈭�3.2 cm.

b. 鈭�2.2 cm.

c. 鈭�1.3 cm.

d. 3.2 cm.

e. 62.2 cm.

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?

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.
