There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the attendance of baseball games and the runs scored. Thus, the regression line is useful. There is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the attendance of baseball games and the runs scored.

There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that a game with a higher attendance will have more runs scored than a game with lower attendance. r2r2 = (Round to two decimal places) (Round to two decimal places) Interpret r2r2 : 69% of all games will have the average number of runs scored. There is a 69% chance that the regression line will be a good predictor for the runs scored based on the attendance of the game. There is a large variation in the runs scored in baseball games, but if you only look at games with a fixed attendance, this variation on average is reduced by 69%.

Interpret the slope of the regression line in the context of the question: For every additional thousand people who attend a game, there tends to be an average increase of 0.21 runs scored. As x goes up, y goes up. The slope has no practical meaning since the total number runs scored in a game must be positive. Interpret the y-intercept in the context of the question: The y-intercept has no practical meaning for this study. The average runs scored is predicted to be -1. If the attendance of a baseball game is 0, then -1 runs will be scored. The best prediction for a game with 0 attendance is that there will be -1 runs scored.

Question

What is the relationship between the attendance at a major league ball game and the total number of runs scored? Attendance figures (in thousands) and the runs scored for 8 randomly selected games are shown below.

 

Attendance 50 46 33 50 24 14 27 31
Runs 11 11 8 7 5 2 5 3

 

  1. Find the correlation coefficient:  r=r=    Round to 2 decimal places.
  2. The null and alternative hypotheses for correlation are:
    H0:H0:      == 0
    H1:H1:       ≠≠ 0    
    The p-value is:    (Round to four decimal places)

  3. Use a level of significance of α=0.05α=0.05 to state the conclusion of the hypothesis test in the context of the study.
    • There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the attendance of baseball games and the runs scored. Thus, the regression line is useful.
    • There is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the attendance of baseball games and the runs scored. Thus, the use of the regression line is not appropriate.
    • There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that a game with higher attendance will have fewer runs scored than a game with lower attendance.
    • There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that a game with a higher attendance will have more runs scored than a game with lower attendance.
  4.  r2r2 =  (Round to two decimal places)  (Round to two decimal places)
  5.  Interpret r2r2 :  
    • 69% of all games will have the average number of runs scored.
    • There is a 69% chance that the regression line will be a good predictor for the runs scored based on the attendance of the game.
    • There is a large variation in the runs scored in baseball games, but if you only look at games with a fixed attendance, this variation on average is reduced by 69%.
    • Given any fixed attendance, 69% of all of those games will have the predicted number of runs scored.
  6. The equation of the linear regression line is:   
    ˆyy^ =  + xx   (Please show your answers to two decimal places)  

  7. Use the model to predict the runs scored at a game that has an attendance of 31,000 people.
    Runs scored =  (Please round your answer to the nearest whole number.)  

  8. Interpret the slope of the regression line in the context of the question:  
    • For every additional thousand people who attend a game, there tends to be an average increase of 0.21 runs scored.
    • As x goes up, y goes up.
    • The slope has no practical meaning since the total number runs scored in a game must be positive.


  9. Interpret the y-intercept in the context of the question:
    • The y-intercept has no practical meaning for this study.
    • The average runs scored is predicted to be -1.
    • If the attendance of a baseball game is 0, then -1 runs will be scored.
    • The best prediction for a game with 0 attendance is that there will be -1 runs scored.
