Click the icon to view the data obtained by the doctor.
​(a) Draw a scatter diagram of the​ data, treating age as the explanatory variable. What type of​ relation, if​ any, appears to exist between age and HDL​ cholesterol?
 
 
A.
The relation appears to be nonlinear.
 
B.
There does not appear to be a relation.
Your answer is correct.
 
C.
The relation appears to be linear.
​(b) Determine the​ least-squares regression equation from the sample data.
 
ModifyingAbove y with caret equalsy=negative 
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
​(c) Are there any outliers or influential​ observations?
 
 
No
Your answer is correct.
 
Yes
​(d) Assuming the residuals are normally​ distributed, test whether a linear relation exists between age and HDL cholesterol levels at the
alphaαequals
level of significance.
 
What are the null and alternative​ hypotheses?
 
 
A.
Upper H 0H0​:
beta 1β1equals=​0;
Upper H 1H1​:
beta 1β1greater than>0
 
B.
Upper H 0H0​:
beta 1β1equals=​0;

beta 1β1less than<0
 
C.
Upper H 0H0​:
beta 1β1equals=​0;
Upper H 1H1​:
beta 1β1not equals≠0
Your answer is correct.
Use technology to compute the​ P-value. Use the Tech Help button for further assistance.
 
The​ P-value is
0.5700.570.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
What conclusion can be drawn at
alphaαequals=
level of​ significance?
 
 
A.
RejectReject
the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
greatergreater

B.
RejectReject
the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is

Your answer is correct.
​(e) Assuming the residuals are normally​ distributed, construct a​ 95% confidence interval about the slope of the true​ least-squares regression line.

​(f) For a​ 42-year-old male patient who visits the​ doctor's office, would using the​ least-squares regression line obtained in part​ (b) to predict the HDL cholesterol of this patient be​ recommended?
 
If the null hypothesis was​ rejected, that means that this​ least-squares regression line can accurately predict the HDL cholesterol of a patient. If the null hypothesis was not​ rejected, that means the​ least-squares regression line cannot accurately predict the HDL cholesterol of a patient.
Should this​ least-squares regression line be used to predict the​ patient's HDL​ cholesterol? Choose the correct answer below.
 
 
A.
​Yes, because the null hypothesis was rejected.
 
B.
​No, because the null hypothesis was rejected.
 
C.
​Yes, because the null hypothesis was not rejected.
 
D.
​No, because the null hypothesis was not rejected.
Your answer is correct.
A good estimate for the HDL cholesterol of this patient is
