Chapter 3: Q 75. (page 210)

In addition to the regression line, the report on the Mumbai measurements says that r2 =0.95. This suggests that

a. although arm span and height are correlated, arm span does not predict height very accurately.

b. height increases by 0.95=0.97 cm for each additional centimeter of arm

span.

c. 95% of the relationship between height and arm span is accounted for by the regression line.

d. 95% of the variation in height is accounted for by the regression line with x = arm span. e. 95% of the height measurements are accounted for by the regression line with x = arm span.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (d).

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The coefficient of determination (r)2=0.95

Regression line:y铃�=6.4+0.93x

02

Explanation

The coefficient of determination reveals how much variance in the response variable is explained by the predictor variable. The coefficient of determination indicates that the least square line with the arm span explains 95 percent of the variation in height.

Thus, the correct option is (d).

Husbands and wives The mean height of married American women in their

early 20s is 64.5 inches and the standard deviation is 2.5 inches. The mean height of married men the same age is 68.5 inches with standard deviation 2.7 inches. The correlation between the heights of husbands and wives is about r = 0.5.

a. Find the equation of the least-squares regression line for predicting a husband鈥檚 height from his wife鈥檚 height for married couples in their early 20s.

b. Suppose that the height of a randomly selected wife was 1 standard deviation below average. Predict the height of her husband without using the least-squares line.

Points and turnovers Here is a scatterplot showing the relationship between

the number of turnovers and the number of points scored for players in a recent NBA season.15 The correlation for these data is r=0.92 Interpret the correlation.

Rushing for points What is the relationship between rushing yards and points scored in the National Football League? The table gives the number of rushing yards and the number of points scored for each of the 16 games played by the Jacksonville Jaguars in a recent season.

a. Make a scatterplot with rushing yards as the explanatory variable. Describe what you see.

b. The number of rushing yards in Game 16 is an outlier in the x-direction. What effect do you think this game has on the correlation? On the equation of the least-squares regression line? Calculate the correlation and equation of the least-squares regression line with and without this game to confirm your answers.

c. The number of points scored in Game 13 is an outlier in the y-direction. What effect do you think this game has on the correlation? On the equation of the least-squares regression line? Calculate the correlation and equation of the least-squares regression line with and without this game to confirm your answers.

What鈥檚 my grade? In Professor Friedman鈥檚 economics course, the correlation

between the students鈥� total scores prior to the final examination and their final exam scores is r = 0.6. The pre-exam totals for all students in the course have a mean of 280 and a standard deviation of 30. The final exam scores have a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 8. Professor Friedman has lost Julie鈥檚 final exam but knows that her total before the exam was 300. He decides to predict her final exam score from her pre-exam total.

a. Find the equation for the least-squares regression line Professor Friedman should use to make this prediction.

b. Use the least-squares regression line to predict Julie鈥檚 final exam score.

c. Explain the meaning of the phrase 鈥渓east squares鈥� in the context of this question.

d. Julie doesn鈥檛 think this method accurately predicts how well she did on the final exam. Determine r2. Use this result to argue that her actual score could have been much higher (or much lower) than the predicted value.

Born to be old? Is there a relationship between the gestational period (time from conception to birth) of an animal and its average life span? The figure shows a scatterplot of the gestational period and average life span for 43 species of animals.

a. Describe the relationship shown in the scatterplot.

b. Point A is the hippopotamus. What effect does this point have on the correlation, the equation of the least-squares regression line, and the standard deviation of the residuals?

c. Point B is the Asian elephant. What effect does this point have on the correlation, the equation of the least-squares regression line, and the standard deviation of the residuals?
