Chapter 7: Q.AP2.23 - Cumulative AP Practise Test (page 438)

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

(a) x represents the number of yards allowed, y represents the number of wins.

(b) the number of wins for the researcher by 1.04492wins, when making a prediction using the regression line.

(c) the slope decreases and the y-intercept increases.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

y^=b0+b1x=25.66-0.003131x

02

Part (a) Step 2: Simplification

The least- squares regression line equation:

y^=b0+b1x

The constant b0is given in the row "Constant"

b0=25.66b1=-0.003131

Replacing b0by 25.66and b1by -0.003131in the least- squares regression line equation:

y^=b0+b1x=25.66-0.003131x

Here x represents the number of yards allowed, y represents the number of wins.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

x=number of yards allowed =4668

y=number of wins =10

04

Part (b) Step 2: Simplification

The least- squares regression line equation

y^=b0+b1xb0=25.66b1=-0.003131

Replacing b0by 25.66and b1by -0.003131in the least-squares regression line

y^=b0+b1x=25.66-0.003131x

Where $x$ is representing the number of yards allowed and y represents the number of wins.

Replacing x in the regression line by 4668 and calculate

y^=25.66-0.003131(4668)=25.66-14.615508=11.04492

This residual is the difference between the observed. y-value and the expected value

Residual=y-y^=10-11.04492=-1.04492

This then means that it is overestimated the number of wins for the researcher by role="math" localid="1654564363060" 1.04492wins, when making a prediction using the regression line.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Simplification

It is observed that the point representing with 5167 yards allowed and 15 games is the point that lies highest in the scatter plot The point pull the least-squares regression line up slightly, which therefore implies that the regression line would lie higher to the left in the scatter plot when the point is included in the calculation of the regression line.

Although, this then implies that the least-squares regression line becomes more decreasing and therefore the slope will decrease.

It is also observed that the regression line would be intersect the y axis at a higher point and therefore the y intercept will be at higher when the points is included.

Therefore the slope decreases and the y-intercept increases.

Lightning strikes The number of lightning strikes on a square kilometer of open ground in a year has mean 6 and standard deviation 2.4. The National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) uses automatic sensors to watch for lightning in 1-square-kilometer plots of land. Find the probability that the total number of lightning strikes in a random sample of 50 square-kilometer plots of land is less than 250.

Sample proportions List all 10possible SRSs of size n=2, calculate the proportion of females for each sample, and display the sampling distribution of the sample proportion on a dotplot.

16.05A machine is designed to fill 16-ounce bottles of shampoo. When the machine is working properly, the amount poured into the bottles follows a Normal distribution with mean 16.05 ounces and standard deviation 0.1ounce. Assume that the machine is working properly. If 4 bottles are randomly selected and the number of ounces in each bottle is measured, then there is about a 95%probability that the sample mean will fall in which of the following intervals?

a. 16.05to 16.15ounces

b. 16.00to 16.10ounces

c. 15.95to role="math" localid="1654391534650" 16.15ounces

d. 15.90to 16.20ounces

e. 15.85to 16.25ounces

The student newspaper at a large university asks an SRS of 250 undergraduates, "Do you favor eliminating the carnival from the term-end celebration?" All in all, 150 of the 250 are in favor. Suppose that (unknown to you) 55\% of all undergraduates favor eliminating the carnival. If you took a very large number of SRSs of size n=250 n=250 from this population, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion p∧p^would be

a. exactly Normal with mean 0.55 and standard deviation 0.03.

b. approximately Normal with mean 0.55 and standard deviation 0.03.

c. exactly Normal with mean 0.60 and standard deviation 0.03.

d. approximately Normal with mean 0.60 and standard deviation 0.03.

e. heavily skewed with mean 0.55 and standard deviation 0.03.

The number of hours a lightbulb burns before failing varies from bulb to bulb. The population distribution of burnout times is strongly skewed to the right. The central limit theorem says that

a. as we look at more and more bulbs, their average burnout time gets ever closer to the mean μ for all bulbs of this type.

b. the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a sampling distribution with the same shape (strongly skewed) as the population distribution.

c. the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a sampling distribution with a similar shape but not as extreme (skewed, but not as strongly) as the population distribution.

d. the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a sampling distribution that is close to Normal.

e. the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a sampling distribution that is exactly Normal.
