Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13SE
Exercise Hours A statistics student was interested in the amount of time that community college students exercise each week. He gathered data from a random sample of students at his com-munity college and excluded those who did not exercise (those who reported 0 hours per week); this left 45 in the sample. All values were rounded to the nearest hour.
The table shows the data. Figure A shows a histogram of the data, and Figure B shows a histogram of the log transform (base 10) of the data.
a. Describe the distribution of the untransformed sample.
b. Find a 95% confidence interval for the
c. Describe the distribution of the transformed data, and compare it with the distribution of the original data in part a.
d. Perform a log transform on the observations. Find the boundaries for a 95% confidence interval for the mean of the log-transformed times.
e. Convert the log interval boundaries back to units of hours. Interpret the resulting interval.
f. Which interval would you report: the interval for the population mean or the interval for the population geometric mean? Explain.

Scatterplot C displays the relationship between the natural log of the number of days and the natural log of the number of cells of bacteria. Which model best represents the relationship between the number of days and the number of cells of bacteria? A linear model would best represent the relationship because scatterplot A is fairly linear. An exponential model would best represent the relationship because scatterplot B is fairly linear. A linear model would best represent the relationship because scatterplot B is fairly linear. A power model would best represent the relationship because scatterplot C is fairly linear.arrow_forwardd) We conduct a regression of life on school, reg1, reg2, reg3, reg4, loggdp.
