Chapter 12: Q. AP4.24 (page 831)

Western lowland gorillas, whose main habitat is in central Africa, have a mean weight of 275pounds with a standard deviation of 40pounds. Capuchin monkeys, whose main habitat is Brazil and other parts of Latin America, have a mean weight of 6pounds with a standard deviation of 1.1pounds. Both distributions of weight are approximately Normally distributed. If a particular western lowland gorilla is known to weigh 345pounds, approximately how much would a capuchin monkey have to weigh, in pounds, to have the same standardized weight as the gorilla?

a. 4.08

b. 7.27

c. 7.93

d.8.20

e. There is not enough information to determine the weight of a capuchin monkey.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is option (c)7.93.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

For the gorilla

渭=275蟽=40

For capuchin monkey

渭=6蟽=1.1

02

Explanation

The average weight of western lowland gorillas and capuchin monkeys is given in the question, and both weight distributions are nearly normal. First, determine the gorilla's z-score, i.e.

z=345-27540=1.75

The capuchin monkey's z-score is now also 1.75. Because their weights are 1.75standard deviations from their respective averages, theirz-scores must be identical to have the same standardised weight. As a result, we'll solve for the capuchin monkey as follows:

From the given data

1.75=x-61.11.925=x-6x=7.925鈮�7.93

Option (c) is correct.

Multiple Choice Select the best answer for Exercises 23-28. Exercises 23-28 refer to the following setting. To see if students with longer feet tend to be taller, a random sample of 25students was selected from a large high school. For each student, x=footlength&y=heightwere recorded. We checked that the conditions for inference about the slope of the population regression line are met. Here is a portion of the computer output from a least-squares regression analysis using these data:

Which of the following is a 95%confidence interval for the population slope 尾1?

a.3.0867卤0.4117

b. 3.0867卤0.8518

Exercises T12.4鈥揟12.8 refer to the following setting. An old saying in golf is 鈥淵ou drive for show and you putt for dough.鈥� The point is that good putting is more important than long driving for shooting low scores and hence winning money. To see if this is the case, data from a random sample of 69 of the nearly 1000 players on the PGA Tour鈥檚 world money list are examined. The average number of putts per hole (fewer is better) and the player鈥檚 total winnings for the previous season are recorded and a least-squares regression line was fitted to the data. Assume the conditions for
inference about the slope are met. Here is computer output from the regression analysis:

T12.6 The P -value for the test in Exercise T12.5 is 0.0087. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of this result?
a. The probability there is no linear relationship between average number of putts per hole and total winnings for these 69 players is 0.0087.
b. The probability there is no linear relationship between average number of putts per hole and total winnings for all players on the PGA Tour鈥檚 world money list is 0.0087.
c. If there is no linear relationship between average number of putts per hole and total winnings for the players in the sample, the probability of getting a random sample of 69 players that yields a least-squares regression line with a slope of 鈭�4,139,198 or less is 0.0087.
d. If there is no linear relationship between average number of putts per hole and total winnings for the players on the PGA Tour鈥檚 world money list, the probability of getting a random sample of 69 players that yields a least-squares regression line with a slope of 鈭�4,139,198 or less is 0.0087.
e. The probability of making a Type I error is 0.0087.

T12.3 Inference about the slope 尾1 of a least-squares regression line is based on which of
the following distributions?
a. The tdistribution with n鈭�1 degrees of freedom
b. The standard Normal distribution
c. The chi-square distribution with n鈭�1 degrees of freedom
d. The t distribution with n-2 degrees of freedom
e. The Normal distribution with mean 渭 and standard deviation 蟽.

Oil and residuals Researchers examined data on the depth of small defects in the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline. The researchers compared the results of measurements on 100defects made in the field with measurements of the same defects made in the laboratory. The figure shows a residual plot for the least-squares regression line based on these data. Explain why the conditions for performing inference about the slope 尾1 of the population regression line are not met.

Predicting high temperatures Using the daily high and low temperature readings at Chicago鈥檚 O鈥橦are International Airport for an entire year, a meteorologist made a scatterplot relating y=high temperature to x=low temperature, both in degrees Fahrenheit. After verifying that the conditions for the regression model were met, the meteorologist calculated the equation of the population regression line to be 渭y=16.6+1.02xwith 蟽=6.64掳F. a. According to the population regression line, what is the average high temperature on days when the low temperature is 40掳F? b. About what percent of days with a low temperature of 40掳F have a high temperature greater than 70掳F? c. If the meteorologist used a random sample of 10 days to calculate the regression line instead of using all the days in the year, would the slope of the sample regression line be exactly 1.02?
