- 4b) The data shows a systolic and a diastolic blood pressure of certain patients. Find the linear regression equation, using the first variable x (systolic) as the independent variable. Find the best predicted diastolic blood pressure for a patient with a systolic blood pressure (y) reading of 140. What is the correlation coefficient, r? Using a significance level of a = 0.05, is there a significant linear relationship between systolic and diastolic blood pressure?

Wine Participant magazine has collected average price per bottle for the prestigious Chateau Le Thundebird bordeaux for different vintages (years). The data appears in the table below. year of bottling price a) draw the scatter diagram showing how wine price varies by vintage year b) use the most appropriate regression equation to determine the relationship between year of bottling (age) and price. c) what is the explanatory power (RSQ) of that equation d) determine the predicted price of a bottle of this wine for the 2017 vintage. 2009 36 2010 40 2011 51 2012 60 2013 68 2014 72 2015 70 2016 65 2018 51 2019 44 2020 39arrow_forwardCalculate the equation of the regression line and calculate the correlation coefficientarrow_forward
- The least-squares regression equation is y=620.6x+16,624 where y is the median income and x is the percentage of 25 years and older with at least a bachelor's degree in the region. The scatter diagram indicates a linear relation between the two variables with a correlation coefficient of 0.7004. Predict the median income of a region in which 30% of adults 25 years and older have at least a bachelor's degree.arrow_forwardAn oil exploration company wants to develop a statistical model to predict the cost of drilling a new well. One of the many variables thought to be an important predictor of the cost is the number of feet in depth that the must be drilled to create the well. Consequently, the company decided to fit the simple linear regression model, where y = cost of drilling the new well (in $thousands) and x = number of feet drilled to create the well. Using data collected for a sample of n=83 wells, the following results were obtained: = 10.5 + 16.20x Give a practical interpretation of the estimate of the slope of the least squares line.

- Q1) Interpret the following regression line y = 10.50 – 0.18xarrow_forwardfind 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).arrow_forwardThe administration of a midwestern university commissioned a salary equity study to help establish benchmarks for faculty salaries. The administration utilized the following regression model for annual salary, y : ?(?) β0+β1x ,where ?=0 if lecturer, 1 if assistant professor, 2 if associate professor, and 3 if full professor. The administration wanted to use the model to compare the mean salaries of professors in the different ranks. a) Explain the flaw in the model. b)Propose an alternative model that will achieve the administration’s objective. c) If the global F-test for the model you proposed in 2 is conducted, what would be the value of the numerator degrees of freedom?arrow_forward
