Chapter 12.5, Problem 26SE
A regression was performed using data on 16 randomly selected charities. The variables were Y = expenses (millions of dollars) and X = revenue (millions of dollars). (a) Write the fitted regression equation. (b) Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the slope. (c) Perform a right-tailed t test for zero slope at α = .05. State the hypotheses clearly. (d) Use Excel to find the p-value for the t statistic for the slope.

Students have asked these similar questions
find the (a) explained variation, (b) unexplained variation, and (c) indicated prediction interval. In each case, there is sujficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation, so it is reasonable to use the regression equation when making predictions.
Altitude and Temperature Listed below are altitudes (thousands of feet) and outside air temperatures (°F) recorded by the author during Delta Flight 1053 from New Orleans to Atlanta. For the prediction interval, use a 95% confidence level with the altitude of 6327 ft (or 6.327 thousand feet).
A football coach is looking for a way to identify players that are "under weight". The coach decides to get
data for each player's height (x, in inches) and weight (y, in pounds), then does a linear regression. The
results are:
y = - 58 + 4x,r = 0.95 and the standard error is Se = 13.
Since there is a strong linear correlation the coach, who also majored in Statistics, decides to identify all
"outliers" in the data.
Obviously, any player whose weight is above the regression line is not "under weight". So the only outliers
the coach is interested in are those that are below the regression line.
What is the lowest weight possible for a 67 inch player to not be considered "under weight"? Do not round.
