Chapter 15.2, Problem 7E
PC World rated four component characteristics for 10 ultraportable laptop computers: features; performance; design; and price. Each characteristic was rated using a 0–100 point scale. An overall rating, referred to as the PCW World Rating, was then developed for each laptop. The following table shows the performance rating, features rating, and the PCW World Rating for the 10 laptop computers (PC World website, February 5, 2009).
| Model | Performance | Features | PCW Rating |
| Thinkpad X200 | 77 | 87 | 83 |
| VGN-Z598U | 97 | 85 | 82 |
| U6V | 83 | 80 | 81 |
| Elitebook 2530P | 77 | 75 | 78 |
| X360 | 64 | 80 | 78 |
| Thinkpad X300 | 56 | 76 | 78 |
| Ideapad U110 | 55 | 81 | 77 |
| Micro Express JFT2500 | 76 | 73 | 75 |
| Toughbook W7 | 46 | 79 | 73 |
| HP Voodoo Envy133 | 54 | 68 | 72 |
- a. Determine the estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the PCW World Rating using the performance rating as the independent variable.
- b. Determine the estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the PCW World Rating using both the performance rating and the features rating.
- c. Predict the PCW World Rating for a laptop computer that has a performance rating of 80 and a features rating of 70.

- Create scatterplot using Excel with the following variables: gender: 0 = male, 1 = female. height: in inches. weight: in pounds. First we will create a scatterplot to examine how weight is related to height, ignoring gender. To do that in Excel: Sort the data by gender: Hold down the Control key (Command key on MacOS) and click the A key to select all of the data in the worksheet. Select the Home tab, then the Editing group Sort & Filter -> Custom Sort. In the pop-up window, make sure that My list has headers box is checked and then choose gender from the pull-down menu next to Sort by. Click OK.
