1. A computer manager interested to know how efficiency of his/her new computer program which depends on the size of incoming data. Efficiency will be measured by the number of processed requests per hour. In general, larger data sets require more computer time, and therefore, fewer requests are processed within 1 hour. Applying the program to data sets of different sizes, the following data were gathered. Data size (gigabytes) 7 7 . 8 10 10 15 Processed requests 40 55 50 41 17 26 16 a) Determine the association between data size and processed requests and interpret its meaning. b) Fit a regression equation to predict the efficiency of a new computer for data size 12 gigabytes

The following table lists animals that have some of the longest lifespans on earth. Does incubation or gestation time affect an animal’s average lifespan? Some animals have lifespans that average well over 100 years.Animal: Nile, Crocodile, Aldabra Giant Tortoise LakeSturgeon, Galapagos Tortoise, Bowhead Whale Average Lifespan (in Years): 100,152,152,177,211Incubation/Gestation (in Months): 3, 8, 0.25, 4.7,13.5 Is there a correlation between an animal’s gestation/incubation period and its average lifespan in years? a. Draw the scatterplot for the variables. b. Describe the relationship, if any, shown by the scatterplot. c. Calculate r, the correlation coefficient. How does the correlation coefficient compare to the relationship you saw in the scatterplot?

Cellulon, a manufacturer of home insulation, wants to develop guidelines for builders and consumers on how the thickness of the insulation in the attic of a home and the outdoor temperature affect natural gas consumption. In the laboratory, it varied the insulation thickness and temperature. A few of the findings are: Monthly Natural Gas Consumption (cubic feet), Thickness of Insulation (inches), Outdoor Temperature (ºF), y x1 x2 30.3 6.0 40.0 24.2 12 40 27.9 8 49 On the basis of the sample results, the regression equation is: yˆy⁢^⁢ = 56.26 − 0.66x1 − 0.59x2 How much natural gas can homeowners expect to use per month if they install 6 inches of insulation and the outdoor temperature is 40 degrees F? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) What effect would installing 7 inches of insulation instead of 6 have on the monthly natural gas consumption (assuming the outdoor temperature remains at 40 degrees F)? (Round your answers…
A psychologist believed that as children get older, they engage in more “inactive activities” such as playing computer games, watching TV and surfing the internet. She collected data from 10 children. She recorded the age of each child and the amount of activity (in hours) the child engaged in per week. Age Activity 7 4.3 9 3.2 10 1 13 1.5 12 1.2 15 0.8 9 3 12 4 15 1.5 14 1.9 Using excel, obtain a scatterplot of the data. Discuss the relationship between age and activity based on the scatterplot. Using excel, obtain the simple linear regression linear regression line predicting activity from age. Interpret the intercept and slope of the regression line. By hand, predict the amount of activity for age = 14. By hand, calculate the residual for age = 14 Using excel output, test the null hypothesis that the slope coefficient is zero using the p-value approach. Write one sentence interpreting the meaning of this result. Make sure to report the test statistic…
