Biologist Theodore Garland, Jr. studied the relationship between running speeds and morphology of 49 species of cursorial mammals (mammals adapted to or specialized for running). One of the relationships he investigated was maximal sprint speed in kilometers per hour and the ratio of metatarsal-to-femur length. A least-squares regression on the data he collected produces the equation ŷ = 37.67 + 33.18x %3D where x is metatarsal-to-femur ratio and ŷ is predicted maximal sprint speed in kilometers per hour. The standard error of the intercept is 5.69 and the standard error of the slope is 7.94. Construct an 80% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line. Give your answers precise to at least two decimal places. Lower limit: Upper limit:

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…
The datasetBody.xlsgives the percent of weight made up of body fat for 100 men as well as other variables such as Age, Weight (lb), Height (in), and circumference (cm) measurements for the Neck, Chest, Abdomen, Ankle, Biceps, and Wrist. We are interested in predicting body fat based on abdomen circumference. Find the equation of the regression line relating to body fat and abdomen circumference. Make a scatter-plot with a regression line. What body fat percent does the line predict for a person with an abdomen circumference of 110 cm? One of the men in the study had an abdomen circumference of 92.4 cm and a body fat of 22.5 percent. Find the residual that corresponds to this observation.

KidsFeet Regression Line y-Intercept The KidsFeet dataframe contains data collected on 39 fourth grade students in Ann Arbor, MI, in October 1997. Two of the measurements taken on the children were the length in centimeters, (length), and width in centimeters, (width), of their longest foot. This data could be used to answer the following Research Question: How is the width of a fourth-grade student's foot related to the length? Which of the following is the y-intercept of the regression line? ## ## Simple Linear Regression## ## Correlation coefficient r = 0.6411 ## ## Equation of Regression Line:## ## length = 9.817 + 1.658 * width ## ## Residual Standard Error: s = 1.025 ## R^2 (unadjusted): R^2 = 0.411 ( ) 1.0248 ( ) 1.6576 ( ) 22.8153 ( ) 0.411 ( ) 9.8172 ( )0.6411
Consumers are often interested in the fuel efficiency of the vehicles they choose to buy, so much so that they will research the various models they consider buying. Fuel efficiency can depend on a variety of variables. In this analysis, there are 73 automobiles that are popular with consumers. A regression analysis has been performed; the dependent variable is CityMPG (EPA miles per gallon in city driving), and independent variables are Length (vehicle length in inches), Width (vehicle width in inches), Weight (vehicle weight in pounds), and ManTran (1 if manual shift transmission, 0 otherwise). The level of significance is 0.05. Use the following MegaStat output to answer questions about this regression analysis. a. State the regression equation. b. How would CityMPG be affected if the width of a vehicle increased by an inch? c. Estimate the CityMPG for a vehicle with a length of 190 inches, a width of 75 inches, a weight of 4100 pounds, and a manual. Round your answer to the nearest…

A study examined the eating habits of 20 children at a nursery school. The variables measured for each child included: calories (the number of calories eaten at lunch), time (the time in minutes spent eating lunch), and sex (male=1, female=0). A multiple linear regression model using Y = calories, X1 = time, and X2 = sex led to the following model: y=547.65-2.85x1+10.67x2 For two children who spend the same amount of time eating, one male and one female, which child is predicted to consume more calories and by how much?
Range of ankle motion is a contributing factor to falls among the elderly. Suppose a team of researchers is studying how compression hosiery, typical shoes, and medical shoes affect range of ankle motion. In particular, note the variables Barefoot and Footwear2. Barefoot represents a subject's range of ankle motion (in degrees) while barefoot, and Footwear2 represents their range of ankle motion (in degrees) while wearing medical shoes. Use this data and your preferred software to calculate the equation of the least-squares linear regression line to predict a subject's range of ankle motion while wearing medical shoes, ?̂ , based on their range of ankle motion while barefoot, ? . Round your coefficients to two decimal places of precision. ?̂ = A physical therapist determines that her patient Jan has a range of ankle motion of 7.26°7.26° while barefoot. Predict Jan's range of ankle motion while wearing medical shoes, ?̂ . Round your answer to two decimal places. ?̂ = Suppose Jan's…
