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.

A traffic safety company publishes reports about motorcycle fatalities and helmet use. In the first accompanying data table, the distribution shows the proportion of fatalities by location of injury for motorcycle accidents. The second data table shows the location of injury and fatalities for 2061 riders not wearing a helmet. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Click the icon to view the tables. (a) Does the distribution of fatal injuries for riders not wearing a helmet follow the distribution for all riders? Use α = 0.05 level of significance. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? O A. Ho: The distribution of fatal injuries for riders not wearing a helmet follows the same distribution for all other riders. H₁: The distribution of fatal injuries for riders not wearing a helmet does not follow the same distribution for all other riders. B.

11. For temperature (x) and number of ice cream cones sold per hour (y). (65, 8), (70, 10), (75, 11), (80,13), (85, 12), (90, 16). Interpret the coefficient of determination. Optional Answers: 1. 88.2% of the variability in the number of cones sold is explained by the least-squares regression model. 2. 93.9% of the variability in the number of cones sold is explained by the least-squares regression model. 3. 88.2% of the variability in the temperature is explained by the least-squares regression model. 4. 93.9% of the variability in the temperature is explained by the least-squares regression model.
Several methods of estimating the number of seeds in soil samples have been developed by ecologists. An article gave the accompanying data on the number of seeds detected by the direct method and by the stratified method for 27 soil specimens.

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.
