Bicycling, the world's leading cycling magazine, reviews hundreds of bicycles throughout the year. Their "Road-Race" category contains reviews of bikes used by riders primarily interested in racing. One of the most important factors in selecting a bike for racing is the weight of the bike. The following data show the weight (pounds) and price ($) for 10 racing bikes reviewed by the magazine.† Brand Weight Price ($) FELT F5 17.8 2,100 PINARELLO Paris 16.1 6,250 ORBEA Orca GDR 14.9 8,370 EDDY MERCKX EMX-7 15.9 6,200 BH RC1 Ultegra 17.2 4,000 BH Ultralight 386 13.1 8,600 CERVELO S5 Team 16.2 6,000 GIANT TCR Advanced 2 17.1 2,580 WILIER TRIESTINA Gran Turismo 17.6 3,400 SPECIALIZED S-works Amira SL4 14.1 8,000 (a) Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to estimate the price for a bike given the weight. (Round your numerical values to the nearest integer). ŷ = (b) Compute r2. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) r2 = Did the estimated regression equation provide a good fit? The estimated regression equation did not provide a good fit, since r2 ≥ 0.55. The estimated regression equation did not provide a good fit, since r2 < 0.55. The estimated regression equation provided a good fit, since r2 < 0.55. The estimated regression equation provided a good fit, since r2≥ 0.55. (c) Predict the price (in dollars) for a bike that weighs 15 pounds. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.) $
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
