Beer and blood alcohol content: Many people believe that gender, weight, drinking habits, and many other factors are much more important in predicting blood alcohol content (BAC) than simply considering the number of drinks a person consumed. Here we examine data from sixteen student volunteers at Ohio State University who each drank a randomly assigned number of cans of beer. These students were evenly divided between men and women, and they differed in weight and drinking habits. Thirty minutes later, a police officer measured their blood alcohol content (BAC) in grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood (Malkevitc and Lesser, 2008). The scatterplot and regression table summarize the findings. Estimate Std.

Calculate R2R2 and interpret it in context. The value of R2R2 is Incorrect (please leave your answer as a decimal, and round to three places) The interpretation of the value above is: the proportion of variation in BAC that is explained by number of cans of beer consumed the percent of time that our model is accurate the proportion of alcohol in beer that contributes to BAC

Estimate | Std. Error | t value | P(>|t|) | |
---|---|---|---|---|
(Intercept) | -0.0127 | 0.0126 | -1.00 | 0.3320 |
beers | 0.0180 | 0.0024 | 7.48 | 0.0000 |
(a) Describe the relationship between the number of cans of beer (x) and BAC (y).
- weak,negative
- moderate/strong, negative
- moderate/strong, positive
- weak, positive
(b) Write the equation of the regression line. Interpret the slope and intercept in context.
The equation of the regression line is (please do not round):
ˆy=y^= Incorrect ++ Incorrect xx The interpretation of the slope is:
- For each additional can of beer, BAC is expected to increase by about .018
- For each additional can of beer, BAC is expected to increase by about .0127
- For each additional can of beer, BAC is expected to decrease by about .0127
- For each additional can of beer, BAC is expected to decrease by about .018
(c) Do the data provide strong evidence that drinking more cans of beer is associated with an increase in blood alcohol? State the null and alternative hypotheses, report the p-value, and state your conclusion.
The hypotheses are:
- H0: Number of cans of beer drank is not a significant predictor of BAC
Ha: Number of cans of beer drank is a significant predictor of BAC - H0: The more beer drank, the higher someone's BAC
Ha: The more cans of beer drank, the lower the BAC - H0: Number of cans of beer drank is a significant predictor of BAC
Ha: Number of cans of beer drank is not a significant predictor of BAC
The p-value for the test is: p≈p≈ Incorrect
The result of this hypothesis test is:
- number of cans of beer drank is a significant predictor of BAC
- number of cans of beer drank is not a significant predictor of BAC
- the more cans of beer you drink, the higher your BAC
(d) The
The value of R2R2 is Incorrect (please leave your answer as a decimal, and round to three places) The interpretation of the value above is:
- the proportion of variation in BAC that is explained by number of cans of beer consumed
- the percent of time that our model is accurate
- the proportion of alcohol in beer that contributes to BAC
