Solution: The fitted regression line where the Year is the predictor and log values of number of tornadoes is the response variable is provided below:
The variable
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: The log values of number of tornadoes can be calculated by using Microsoft excel by following the steps given below:
Step 1: Insert the data into the MS-Excel worksheet as shown in the screenshot below:
Step 2: Apply the formula to convert the number of tornadoes values to log values as displayed in the below screenshot:
Step 3: Drag this output till the last cell of the total observation.
The log values are displayed in the screenshot below:
Further, the regression line can be fitted by using Minitab by following steps:
Step 1: Insert the data into the worksheet.
Step 2: Go to Stat
Step 3: Select LOGtornadoes in Response column and select Year in Predictors.
Step 4: Click “OK.”
After implementing these steps, the fitted regression line will appear in the output box, which is provided below:
Interpretation: The regression line concludes that as the year increases by a single quantity, it is expected that there will be an increase in the number of tornadoes by 1.41%.
(b)
To test: Whether the regression model fits the provided data.
(b)

Answer to Problem 22E
Solution: The residual plots for the Log tornadoes is provided below:
This plot represents that the assumptions for linear regression are valid.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: The residuals along with the graph can be made by using the Minitab software by following the steps given below:
Step 1: Insert the data into the worksheet.
Step 2: Go to Stat
Step 3: Select LOGtornadoes in Response column and select Year in Predictors.
Step 4: Click on the button Storage and select Residuals.
Step 5: Click “OK.”
Step 6: Click on the button Graphs and select Four in one.
Step 7: Click “OK” twice.
After implementing these steps, a graph including four plots will appear in the output box and the column of residuals will add into the worksheet.
Some of the obtained residuals of the model are provided below:
Residuals |
0.331547 |
The plots are obtained as displayed below:
Conclusion: The normal probability plot shows that the residuals follows the normal distribution, residual versus fit plot shows that the residuals are randomly scattered, and the histogram shows that the residuals are symmetric. Hence the assumptions for linear regression analysis are reasonable.
(c)
To find: An approximate 95% confidence interval for percent change in the dependent variable.
(c)

Answer to Problem 22E
Solution: The 95% confidence interval for annual percent change in number of tornadoes is
Explanation of Solution
Given: The data for the annual number of Tornadoes in The United States from the year 1953 to 2014 are provided.
Calculation: The confidence interval can be calculated by using Minitab software by following the steps given below:
Step 1: Insert the data in the worksheet.
Step 2: Go to
Step 3: Click on the Results tab and select the Regression equation, Display confidence intervals and Prediction Tables options and click on “OK” twice to obtain the results.
The Minitab output displays the confidence interval as
(d)
To test: Whether this model supports the hypothesis of increment of tornadoes over the time.
(d)

Answer to Problem 22E
Solution: Yes, this model also supports the hypothesis that tornadoes have increased over the time.
Explanation of Solution
Given: The data for the annual number of Tornadoes in The United States from the year 1953 to 2014 are provided.
Calculation: To test the fact that whether tornadoes have increased over the time, the hypothesis are to be set as follows:
To test the above hypothesis, perform the following steps in Minitab:
Step 1: Insert the data in the Minitab worksheet.
Step 2: Go to Stat
Step 3: Click on the Results tab and select the Regression equation, Display confidence intervals and Prediction tables and click on “OK” twice to obtain the results.
After implementing these steps, P-value along with 95% confidence interval will appear in the output box for this model and the P-value obtained is 0.000, which is less than 0.05 and hence the null hypothesis is rejected at 5% level of significance.
Conclusion: Since the null hypothesis is rejected, it can be concluded that at 95% confidence level, the number of tornadoes have increased over the time.
(e)
To find: A prediction interval for number of tornadoes in the year 2015.
(e)

Answer to Problem 22E
Solution: The prediction interval for the number of tornadoes in the year 2015 is
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: The prediction interval for the number tornadoes in the year 2015 can be calculated by using the Minitab software by following the steps given below:
Step 1: Insert the data into the worksheet.
Step 2: Go to Stat
Step 3: Select logtornadoes in the Response column and Year in the Model column.
Step 4: Click on the button Prediction, write 2015 in the column of New observation for continuous prediction.
Step 5: In storage select Prediction limit and Confidence limit.
Step 6: Click “OK” twice to obtain the output.
After implementing these steps, the prediction interval will appear in the output box, which is
This model was fitted by taking the log values of the number of tornadoes, so the prediction interval has also been constructed for the log values. To get to know the actual prediction interval, antilog can be taken of the end points of this interval and anti-log can be calculated by using the software Microsoft excel as follows:
(f)
The model that is preferable, the one with the original number of tornadoes or the one with the log number of tornadoes.
(f)

Answer to Problem 22E
Solution: The model that was fitted by taking the natural logarithmic is preferable over the model, which was fitted by using the original values.

The savings obtained for each group of buyers are presented in the pdf that i sent: For this problem, we assume that the samples are random and come from two normal populations of unknown but equal variances.According to the theory, the average saving of buyers adopting a competitive strategy will be lower than that of buyers adopting a cooperative strategy.a) Specify the population identifications and the hypotheses H0 and H1…arrow_forwardYou assume that the annual incomes for certain workers are normal with a mean of $28,500 and a standard deviation of $2,400.
