The scatterplot shows the relationship between the number of yards allowed by teams in the National Football League and the number of wins for that team in a recent season, along with the least-squares regression line. Computer output is also provided.

a. State the equation of the least-squares regression line. Define any variables you use.

b. Calculate and interpret the residual for the Seattle Seahawks, who allowed 4668 yards and won 10 games.

c. The Carolina Panthers allowed 5167 yards and won 15 games. What effect does the point representing the Panthers have on the equation of the least-squares regression line? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The required result is y^=b0+b1x=25.66-0.003131x.
  2. Residual =-1.044492.
  3. The y intercept increases as the slope decreases.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

The graph is

02

Part (a) Step 2: Calculation

In this case, the number of yards allotted is the independent variable x, and the number of wins for that team in the most recent season is the dependent variabley

The general regression line of equation is as follows:

Y^=a+bX^.

Let Y^represent the predicted number of vins and Y^represent the predicted number of yards allowed.

The coefficient of a constant term is calculated from the output.a=25.66.

The output yields a constant term's coefficient as b=-0.003131.

The regression line using least squares isY^=25.66-0.003131X^.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

Given:

x= number of yards allowed is 4668.

y number of wins is 10

04

Part (b) Step 2: Calculation

When team SS allows 4668 yards, the predicted number of wins is,

Y^=25.66-0.003131(4668)Y^=11.0445

The actual number of games won is 10 .

The residual error is,

Y-Y^=10-11.0445=-1.0445

The residual error is -1.0445

This means that if a team gave up 4668yards, the actual number of Seattle Seahawks victories was 1.0445 less than predicted by the fitted regression equation.

05

Part (c)  Step 1: Given information

The graph below is

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

When team CP allows 5167 yards, the predicted number of wins is,

Y^=25.66-0.003131(5167)Y^=9.48212

The total amount of games won is 15

The residual error is as follows:

Y-Y^=13-9.48212=5.51788

The residual error is 5.51788.

The scatter plot clearly shows that the association between the variable line is negative, implying that the slope of the line is negative; in other words, as the number of yards allowed increases, so does the number of vins.

In the case of team CP, despite having more yards allowed than team SS, the team CP has more wins.

The point of CP is to increase the slope of the line, which means it increases the negative slope, making the regression line steeper.

As the line steepens, the y--intercept increases, and the point CP increases the y intercept.

Suppose that the sample proportion of students who did all their assigned homework last week is p^=57100=0.57. Would this sample proportion provide convincing evidence that less than 60%of all students at the school completed all their assigned homework last week? Explain your reasoning.

The number of undergraduates at Johns Hopkins University is approximately 2000 , while the number at Ohio State University is approximately 60,000. At both schools, a simple random sample of about 3%of the undergraduates is taken. Each sample is used to estimate the proportion p of all students at that university who own an iPod. Suppose that, in fact, p=0.80 at both schools. Which of the following is the best conclusion?

a. We expect that the estimate from Johns Hopkins will be closer to the truth than the estimate from Ohio State because it comes from a smaller population.

b. We expect that the estimate from Johns Hopkins will be closer to the truth than the estimate from Ohio State because it is based on a smaller sample size.

c. We expect that the estimate from Ohio State will be closer to the truth than the estimate from Johns Hopkins because it comes from a larger population.

d. We expect that the estimate from Ohio State will be closer to the truth than the estimate from Johns Hopkins because it is based on a larger sample size.

e. We expect that the estimate from Johns Hopkins will be about the same distance from the truth as the estimate from Ohio State because both samples are 3 % of their populations.

More homework Some skeptical Ap® Statistics students want to investigate the newspaper's claim in Exercise 11, so they choose an SRS of 100students from the school to interview. In their sample, 45students completed their homework last week. Does this provide convincing evidence that less than 60%of all students at the school completed their assigned homework last week?

a. What is the evidence that less than 60%of all students completed their assigned homework last week?

b. Provide two explanations for the evidence described in part (a).

We used technology to simulate choosing 250SRSs of size n=100n=100from a population of 2000students where 60%completed their assigned homework last week. The dotplot shows pp^the sample proportion of students who completed their assigned homework last week for each of the 250simulated samples.

c. There is one dot on the graph at 0.73. Explain what this value represents.

d. Would it be surprising to get a sample proportion of p=0.45p^=0.45or smaller in an SRS of size 100when p=0.60p=0.60? Justify your answer.

e. Based on your previous answers, is there convincing evidence that less than 60%of all students at the school completed their assigned homework last week? Explain your reasoning.

What does the CLT say? Asked what the central limit theorem says, a student replies, "As you take larger and larger samples from a population, the histogram of the sample values looks more and more Normal." Is the student right? Explain your answer.

The distribution of grade point average for students at a large high school is skewed to the left with a mean of 3.53 and a standard deviation of 1.02.

a. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of x¯ for SRSs of size n = 4 from the population of students at this high school. Justify your answer.

b. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of x¯ for SRSs of size n = 50 from the Page Number: 480 population of students at this high school. Justify your answer.
