Can someone please help me with part c on question 1?
Prehistoric pottery vessels are usually found as sherds (broken pieces) and are carefully reconstructed if enough sherds can be found. Information taken from Mimbres Mogollon Archaeology by A. I. Woosley and A. J. McIntyre (University of New Mexico Press) provides data relating x = body diameter in centimeters and y = height in centimeters of prehistoric vessels reconstructed from sherds found at a prehistoric site. The following Minitab printout provides an analysis of the data. Predictor Coef SE Coef T P Constant -0.212 2.429 -0.09 0.929 Diameter 0.7527 0.1686 5.33 0.013 S = 4.16190 R-Sq = 81.2% (c) The formula for the margin of error E for a c% confidence interval for the slope ? can be written as E = tc(SE Coef). The Minitab display is based on n = 12 data pairs. Find the critical value tc for a 90% confidence interval in the relevant table. Then find a 90% confidence interval for the population slope ?. (Use 3 decimal places.) tc lower limit upper…
What does this data tell you? Section 4 appears to be a challenge; remember you must compare data to the national data and determine if there are any statistically significant differences at the 0.5 level. For Table 4-1, Information for national is given in table 4-4. You must then comment if it is statistically significant. For table 4-2 and 4-3 you can use formulas with data from table 4-4 (hints below) to find the national and comment if it is statistically significant. Here is a hint: Table 4-2: National Medicare Reimbursement/National Number of Discharges = Average National Reimbursement Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Two of the hottest smartphones on the market are the newly released iPhone6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6. CNet.com offers online reviews of all major cell phones, including battery life tests. In a review of the iPhone6, the talk-time battery life of 35 iPhones was measured. Similarly, the talk-time battery life of 30 Galaxy S6s was measured. Two outputs are given below. Which is appropriate for analyzing the data collected? Output 1 Output 2 Using the StatCrunch output chosen above, determine if there is a difference in the mean battery life for the two phones. Use a significance level of 0.01 when conducting the test. Select the appropriate hypotheses. Make sure the notation used in the hypotheses agrees with the type of samples selected in the output.

During a particularly dry growing season in a southern state, farmers noticed that there is a delicate balance between the number of seeds that are planted per square foot and the yield of the crop in pounds per square foot. The yields were the smallest when the number of seeds per square foot was either very small or very large. The data in the table show various numbers of seeds planted per square foot and yields (in pounds per square foot) for a sample of fields. A 2-column table with 15 rows. Column 1 is labeled number of seeds (per square foot) with entries 28, 75, 30, 43, 71, 35, 40, 59, 66, 79, 85, 81, 16, 33, 16. Column 2 is labeled yield (pounds per square foot) with entries 131, 171, 132, 166, 169, 150, 161, 183, 173, 161, 147, 157, 86, 145, 86. Which scatterplot represents the seed and yield data? A graph titled number of Seeds and Crop Yield has seeds (per square foot) on the x-axis, and yard (pounds per square foot) on the y-axis. The points curve up to a point, and…

You work as a data scientist for a real estate company in a seaside resort town. Your boss has asked you to discover if it's possible to predict how much a home's distance from the water affects its selling price. You are going to collect a random sample of 7 recently sold homes in your town. You will note the distance each home is from the water (denoted by x, in km) and each home's selling price (denoted by y, in hundreds of thousands of dollars). You will also note the product x.y of the distance from the water and selling price for each home. (These products are written in the row labeled "xy"). (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample. Distance from the water, .x (in km) Take Sample Selling price, y (in hundreds of thousands of dollars) xy Send data to calculator Based on the data from your sample, enter the indicated values in the column on the left below. Round decimal values to three decimal places. When you are done, select "Compute". (In the table…

Ocean currents are important in studies of climate change, as well as ecology studies of dispersal of plankton. Drift bottles are used to study ocean currents in the Pacific near Hawaii, the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and other islands. Let x represent the number of days to recovery of a drift bottle after release and y represent the distance from point of release to point of recovery in km/100. The following data are representative of one study using drift bottles to study ocean currents. 203 x days y km/100 72 76 32 14.7 94 11.7 19.5 5.3 35.6 (a) Verify that Ex = 477, Ey = 86.8, Ex? = 62,029, Ey2 = 2028.68, Exy = 11036.6, and r= 0.93853.
