Answer to Problem R12.4RE

We are 95% confident that the slope of the true regression line is between 1.3168396 and 0.5253604 .

Explanation of Solution

A study was conducted to know that do taller students require fewer steps to walk a fixed distance. The scatterplot given in the question shows the relationship between height and the number of steps require to walk the school hallway. And it has been assumed that the conditions for inferences are met.Thus, it is given that,

  n=36α=0.05

The slope b1 is given in the row “Height” and in the column “Coef” of the given computer output as:

  b1=0.9211

The standard error of the slope SEb1 is given in the row “Height” and in the column “SE Coef” of the given computer output as:

  SEb1=0.1938

Now, we need to find the degrees of freedom:

  df=n2=362=34

Thus, the t-value can be found in the student’s T-distribution table, then,

  t*=2.042

Thus, the confidence interval is:

  bt*×SEb=0.92112.042×0.1938=1.3168396b+t*×SEb=0.9211+2.042×0.1938=0.5253604

Thus, we are 95% confident that the slope of the true regression line is between 1.3168396 and 0.5253604 .
