Crickets chirping The scatterplot shows the relationship between x = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and y = chirps per minute for the striped ground cricket, along with the regression line y^=鈭�0.31+0.212x
a. Calculate and interpret the residual for the cricket who chirped 20 times per minute when the temperature was 88.6掳F.
b. About how many additional chirps per minute do you expect cricket to make if the temperature increases by 10掳F?
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.
Actual consumption Refer to Exercise 48. Use the equation of the least-squares regression line and the residual plot to estimate the actual fuel consumption of the car when driving 20 kilometers per hour.
If women always married men who were 2 years older than themselves, what would be the correlation between the ages of husband and wife?
a. 2
b. 1
c. 0.5
d. 0
e. Can鈥檛 tell without seeing the data
IQ and grades Exercise 3 (page 158) included the plot shown below of school grade point average (GPA) against IQ test score for seventh-grade students. (GPA was recorded on a -point scale with .) Calculation shows that the mean and standard deviation of the IQ scores areand For the GPAs, these values are . The correlation between IQ and GPA is
(a) Find the equation of the least-squares line for predicting GPA from IQ. Show your work.
(b) What percent of the observed variation in these students鈥� GPAs can be explained by the linear relationship between GPA and IQ?
(c) One student has an IQ of but a very low GPA of . Find and interpret the residual for this student
