(a) Develop a scatter diagram with price as the independent variable. A scatter diagram has 9 points plotted on it. The horizontal axis ranges from 400 to 1,400 and is labeled: Price ($). The vertical axis ranges from 50 to 85 and is labeled: Overall Score. The points are plotted from left to right in a downward, diagonal direction starting from the upper left corner of the diagram and are between 600 to 1,300 on the horizontal axis and between 60 to 85 on the vertical axis. If one compares two points with different price values, the point with the higher price value will be lower or just as low on the diagram compared to the other point. The points are fairly close together. A scatter diagram has 9 points plotted on it. The horizontal axis ranges from 400 to 1,400 and is labeled: Price ($). The vertical axis ranges from 50 to 85 and is labeled: Overall Score. The points are plotted from left to right in an upward, diagonal direction starting from the lower left corner of the diagram and are between 600 to 1,300 on the horizontal axis and between 60 to 85 on the vertical axis. The third and fourth points from the left are noticeably higher on the diagram than the second and fifth points from the left. The points are somewhat scattered. A scatter diagram has 10 points plotted on it. The horizontal axis ranges from 400 to 1,400 and is labeled: Price ($). The vertical axis ranges from 50 to 85 and is labeled: Overall Score. The points are plotted from left to right in an upward, diagonal direction starting from the lower left corner of the diagram and are between 600 to 1,300 on the horizontal axis and between 60 to 85 on the vertical axis. If one compares two points with different price values, the point with the higher price value will be higher or just as high on the diagram compared to the other point.

The third and fourth points from the left are noticeably higher on the diagram than the second and fifth points from the left. The points are somewhat scattered. (b) What does the scatter diagram developed in part (a) indicate about the relationship between the two variables? There appears to be a negative linear relationship between price ($) and overall score.There appears to be no noticeable relationship between price ($) and overall score. There appears to be a positive linear relationship between price ($) and overall score. (c) Use the least squares method to develop the estimated regression equation. (Round your numerical values to three decimal places). ŷ = 53.864+0.0212x (d) Provide an interpretation of the slope of the estimated regression equation. The slope gives the change in the price for every one point decrease in the overall score.The slope gives the overall score when the price is $0. The slope gives the change in the price for every one point increase in the overall score.The slope gives the price when the overall score is 0.The slope gives the change in the overall score for every one dollar increase in the price. (e) Suppose the price for another laptop that Consumer Reports tested was $800. Predict the overall score for this laptop using the estimated regression equation developed in part (c). (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
