Chapter 14.5, Problem 31E
In exercise 20, data on x = weight (pounds) and y = price ($) for 10 road-racing bikes provided the estimated regression equation ŷ = 28,574 − 1439x. (Bicycling website, March 8, 2012). For these data SSE = 7,102,922.54 and SST = 52,120,800. Use the F test to determine whether the weight for a bike and the price are related at the .05 level of significance.

The data show the number of viewers for television stars with certain salaries. Find the regression equation, letting salary be the independent (x) variable. Find the best
predicted number of viewers for a television star with a salary of $6 million. Is the result close to the actual number of viewers, 2.9 million? Use a significance level of
0.05
For 39 nations, a correlation of 0.887 was found between y = Internet use (%) and x = gross domestic product (GDP, in thousands of dollars per capita). The regression equation is y = -3.68 + 1.73x.
Complete parts (a) through (c).
a. Based on the correlation value, the slope had to be positive. Why?
A. The slope and correlation are positive because gross domestic product could not be negative.
B. The correlation and the slope are positive because the y-intercept is negative.
That is a very unusual fact, because the slope and correlation usually have different signs.
D. Although slope and correlation usually have different values, they always have the same sign.
b. One nation had a GDP of 31.3 thousand dollars and Internet use of 28.5%. Find its predicted Internet use based on the regression equation.
