To determine

Compute the regression line relating percentage of reticulocytes and number of lymphocytes.

Answer to Problem 1P

The regression line isy=1894.8+112.1x.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The sum of squares and products can be calculated as follows:

Lxx=x2x2n=32.0212.629=14.38

Lyy=y2y2n=41,504,60618,46629=3,616,478

Lxy=xyxyn=27,464.612.6×18,4669=1,612.2

The slope can be calculated as follows:

b=LxyLxx=1612.214.38=112.1

The intercept can be calculated as follows:

a=ybxn=18,466112.1×12.69=1894.8

The regression line is given as follows:

y=a+bx=1894.8+112.1x

Thus, the regression line isy=1894.8+112.1x.

A researcher wishes to estimate, with 90% confidence, the population proportion of adults who support labeling legislation for genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Her estimate must be accurate within 4% of the true proportion. (a) No preliminary estimate is available. Find the minimum sample size needed. (b) Find the minimum sample size needed, using a prior study that found that 65% of the respondents said they support labeling legislation for GMOs. (c) Compare the results from parts (a) and (b). ... (a) What is the minimum sample size needed assuming that no prior information is available? n = (Round up to the nearest whole number as needed.)
