Question

When an anthropologist finds skeletal remains, they need to figure out the height of the person. The height of a person (in cm) and the length of their metacarpal bone (in cm) were collected for 22 sets of skeletal remains. The data are in the table below.

a) State the random variables.

    rv X =         of        

    rv Y =         of        

b) The symbol and value of the correlation coefficient are as follows:

    Round final answer to 3 decimal places.

                = 

    Interpret this value:

  • There is a strong           relation between length of metacarpal and height for sets of skeletal remains.

c) The symbol and value of the coefficient of determination are as follows:

    Round final answer to 3 decimal places.

                = 

     Interpret this value:

  • About  % of the           explained by the linear model with         as its      variable.

When an anthropologist finds skeletal remains, they need to figure out the height of the person. The height
of a person (in cm) and the length of their metacarpal bone (in cm) were collected for 18 sets of skeletal
remains. The data are in the table below.

a) State the random variables.
rv X = the length of metacarpal
rv Y = the height
b) Make a scatterplot of X versus Y in StatCrunch (optional). Why do we wish to sketch a scatterplot?
To verify that a linear model is appropriate and to look for outliers. ✓
