1) In this exercise,
a) display the data in a scatter plot,
b) (b) calculate the sample correlation coefficient r, and
c) (c) describe the type of correlation and interpret the correlation in the context of the data.
a.
b.
c. Strong positive linear correlation; As age increases, the systolic blood pressure tends
to increase.
H0: p = 0; Ha: p ≠ 0
α = 0.05
d.f. = n - 2 = 6
Because t > 2.447, reject H0. There is enough evidence at the 5% level of
significance to conclude that there is a significant linear correlation between vehicle
weight and the variability in braking distance on a wet surface.
3) In this exercise, (a) find the equation of the regression line for the data, (b) draw the regression
line. (Each pair of variables has a significant correlation.) (c) Then use the regression equation
to predict the value of y for each of the x-values, if meaningful. If the x-value is not meaningful
to predict the value of y, explain why not.
ŷ = 7.451(3) + 37.449 ≈ 60
ŷ = 7.451(6.5) + 37.449 ≈ 86
It is not meaningful to predict the value of y for x = 13 because x = 13 is outside the range of
the original data.
4) Use the data to find
(a) the coefficient of determination r2 and interpret the result, and
(b) the standard error of estimate se and interpret the result.
(a)
About 67.0% of the variation in the trunk diameters can be explained by the relationship between tree
heights and the trunk diameters, and about 33.0% of the variation is unexplained.
(b)
The standard error of estimate of the trunk diameters for a specific tree height is about 1.780 inches
