A. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the coefficient of height, and interpret it in the context of the data. (df = 28)B. One tree in this sample is 79 feet tall, has a diameter of 11.3 inches, and is 24.2 cubic feet in volume. Determine if the model overestimates or underestimates the volume of this tree, and by how much. Timber yield is approximately equal to the volume of a tree, however, this value is difficult to measure without first cutting the tree down. Instead, othervariables, such as height and diameter, may be used to predict a tree's volume and yield. Researchers wanting to understand the relationship betweenthese variables for black cherry trees collected data from 31 such trees in the Allegheny National Forest, Pennsylvania. Height is measured in feet,diameter in inches (at 54 inches above ground), and volume in cubic feet.EstimateStd.

The given variables are volume in cubic feet, height in feet, and diameter in inches of trees.

The level of cretaine phosphokinase (CPK) in blood samples measures the amount of muscle damage for athletes. At Jock State University, the level of CPK was determined for each of 25 football players and 15 soccer players before and after practice. The two groups of athletes are trained independently. The data summary is as follows : For football players: n=25 Before Practice After Practice Difference (Before-After) Mean 254.73 225.6 29.13 Standard deviation 115.5 132.6 21.00 For soccer players: n=15 Before Practice After Practice Difference (Before-After) Mean 177.1 173.8 3.3 Standard deviation 60.7 64.4 6.88 Assume that all the data above are normal, use the information above to answer problem (7) Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the difference in mean CPK values for football players BEFORE and AFTER exercises.
