In a regression study, relating Price/unit (x) to Weekly Sales (in Kg.), with the scatter plot showing a strong negative direction, 63% of the variability in sales could be accounted for by the variation in the Unit Price. The correlation coefficient in this study is: 0.7 -0.4 -0.79 0.4

A researcher developed a regression model to predict the cost of a meal based on the summated rating (sum of ratings for food, decor,and service) and the cost per meal for 12 restaurants. The results of the study show that b1=1.4379 and Sb1=0.1397. a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a linear relationship between the summated rating of a restaurant and the cost of a meal? b. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population slope, β1. a. Determine the hypotheses for the test. Choose the correct answer below. A. H0: β1=0 H1: β1≠0 B. H0: β0≤0 H1: β0>0 C.

A professor obtains SAT scores and freshman grade point averages (GPAs) for a group of n = 15 college students. The SAT scores have a mean of M = 580 with SS = 22,400, and the GPAs have a mean of 3.10 with SS = 1.26, and SP = 84. Find the regression equation for predicting GPA from SAT scores. What percentage of the variance in GPAs is accounted for by the regression equation? (Compute the correlation r, then find r^2.) Does the regression equation account for a significant portion of the variance in GPA? Use α = .05 to evaluate the F-ratio.

Data were obtained about women belonging to a gym. The women had an average height of 67 inches with an SD of 3 inches, and they had an average weight of 160 pounds, with an SD of 15 pounds. The correlation between height and weight was r=0.45. A scatterplot was made of the data with height on the horizontal axis and weight on the vertical axis; it was football shaped. 2. (a) Using the regression line, a woman who is 6 feet tall is predicted to weigh pounds. (b) The typical size of the errors for predictions made using the regression line is pounds. (c) What percent of all the women weigh more than 180 pounds? (d) What percent of women that are 6 feet tall weigh more than 180 pounds?
approximately the same amount of wine per week. Here are the data (for drinkers only):" CANCER Wine intake x 2.5 8.5 15.5 26.5 (grams per day) Relative risk y 1.00 1.08 1.15 1.22 (a) Make a scatterplot of these data. Based on the scatter- plot, do you expect the correlation to be positive or negative? Near ±1 or not? (b) Find the correlation r between wine intake and relative risk. Do the data show that women who consume more wine tend to have higher relative risks of breast cancer? Wine and cancer in women. Some studies have suggested that a nightly glass of wine may not only take the edge off a day but also improve health. Is wine good for your health? A study of nearly 1.3 million middle-aged British women examined wine consumption and the risk of breast cancer. The researchers were interested in how risk changed as wine consumption increased. Risk is based on breast cancer rates in drinkers relative to breast cancer rates in nondrinkers in the study, with higher values indicating…
A researcher was interested in the relationship between number of close friends and self-esteem. A sample of 40 participants were recruited and asked to report the number of close friends they had, as well as their level of self-esteem. The data showed a positive correlation, such that having more close friends was associated with having higher self-esteem, r(38) = .45. Here are the descriptive statistics for the two variables: Close Friends Self-Esteem Mean 8.90 5.20 SD 3.75 2.15 In a regression equation predicting self-esteem, what is the value of b?A) 0.258B) 0.263C) 0.785D) 0.573 In a regression equation predicting self-esteem, what is the value of a?A) -1.787B) 7.496C) 2.904D) 4.818 One participant named Jesse reported that they had 4 close friends.

A team from UNHABITAT took a random sample of 230 households in a city to better understand how the size of a house (measured in metres) is related to the number of people living in that house. They performed a regression analysis on the data and found that regression model had an R² = 18.3%. What is the correlation between the size of a house and the number of people living in that house? 0.667 0.183 0.033 0.904 0.428
A veterinarian collects data about puppies in her practice. She makes ascatterplot with their age in days on the horizontal axis and weight in ounces (oz)on the vertical axis and sees that the scatterplot is football shaped. The averageage of the puppies is 42 day, with an SD of 7 days. The average weight is 25 oz,with an SD of 5 oz. The correlation is moderately strong, with r = 0.7.(a) The age of two puppies differ by 20 days. The difference in their weight ispredicted to be ________________ oz.(b) The baseline prediction for the weight of puppies ignores their age and justuses the information from all puppies. The baseline predicted weight is________________ oz and the RMS error for this prediction is ________________ oz.(c) Suppose we converted the units of age from days to weeks. The average ageis now _______________ weeks, with an SD of _______________ weeks. Thecorrelation between age in weeks and weight in oz is nowr = ___________________
The mean height of Americanwomen in their twenties is about 64.3 inches, and the standard deviation is about 3.9 inches. The mean height of menthe same age is about 69.9 inches, with standard deviationabout 3.1 inches. Suppose that the correlation between theheights of husbands and wives is about r 0.5.(a) What are the slope and intercept of the regressionline of the husband’s height on the wife’s height in youngcouples?(b) Draw a graph of this regression line for heights of wivesbetween 56 and 72 inches. Predict the height of the husbandof a woman who is 67 inches tall, and plot the wife’s heightand predicted husband’s height on your graph.(c) You don’t expect this prediction for a single couple to bevery accurate. Why not?
