Chapter 12: Q. 14 (page 790)

The students in Mr. Shenk鈥檚 class measured the arm spans and heights (in inches) of a random sample of 18students from their large high school. Here is computer output from a least-squares regression analysis of these data. Construct and interpret a 90%confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line. Assume that the conditions for performing inference are met.

Short Answer

Expert verified

We are 90%confident that the slope of the true regression line is between 0.69915114and0.98168886.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We need to construct and interpret a 90%confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line.

02

Simplify

Consider:

n=18b=0.84042SEb=0.08091

The degrees of freedom in sample size decreased by 2:

df=n-2=18-2=16

The critical t-value can be found in table B in the row of df=16and the column of c=90%

t'=1.746

The boundaries of the confidence interval then become:

b-t'脳SEb=0.84042-1.746脳0.08091=0.69915114
role="math" localid="1654161040846" b+t'脳SEb=0.84042+1.746脳0.08091=0.98168886

SAT Math scores Is there a relationship between the percent of high school graduates in each state who took the SAT and the state鈥檚 mean SAT Math score? Here is a residual plot from a linear regression analysis that used data from all 50states in a recent year. Explain why the conditions for performing inference about the slope 尾1 of the population regression line are not met.

Does how long young children remain at the lunch table help predict how much they eat? Here are data on a random sample of 20toddlers observed over several months. 鈥淭ime鈥� is the average number of minutes a child spent at the table when lunch was served. 鈥淐alories鈥� is the average number of calories the child consumed during lunch, calculated from careful observation of what the child ate each day.

T12.12 Foresters are interested in predicting the amount of usable lumber they can harvest from various tree species. They collect data on the diameter at breast height (DBH) in inches and the yield in board feet of a random sample of 20 Ponderosa pine trees that have been harvested. (Note that a board foot is defined as a piece of lumber 12 inches by 12 inches by 1 inch.) Here is a scatterplot of the data.

a. Here is some computer output and a residual plot from a least-squares regression on these data. Explain why a linear model may not be appropriate in this case.

The foresters are considering two possible transformations of the original data: (1) cubing the diameter values or (2) taking the natural logarithm of the yield measurements. After transforming the data, a least-squares regression analysis is performed. Here is some computer output and a residual plot for each of the two possible regression models:

b. Use both models to predict the amount of usable lumber from a Ponderosa pine with diameter 30 inches.
c. Which of the predictions in part (b) seems more reliable? Give appropriate evidence to support your choice.

How well do professional golfers putt from various distances to the hole? The scatterplot shows various distances to the hole (in feet) and the per cent of putts made at each distance for a sample of golfers.

The graphs show the results of two different transformations of the data. The first graph plots the natural logarithm of per cent made against distance. The second graph plots the natural logarithm of per cent made against the natural logarithm of distance.

a. Based on the scatterplots, would an exponential model or a power model provide a better description of the relationship between distance and per cent made? Justify your answer.

b. Here is computer output from a linear regression analysis of ln(per cent made) and distance. Give the equation of the least-squares regression line. Be sure to define any variables you use.

c. Use your model from part (b) to predict the per cent made for putts of 21 feet.

d. Here is a residual plot for the linear regression in part (b). Do you expect your prediction in part (c) to be too large, too small, or about right? Justify your answer.
