Linear model
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The data set is:
Formula used:
The regression line is written as:
Where,
a is the intercept coefficient
b is the slope coefficient.
The formula to compute the
Calculation:
The provided data in tabular form could be written as:
Follow the provided steps of Ti-83 plus calculator to compute a linear model and the correlation coefficient:
- Turn on the calculator.
- Click on STAT > Edit > Enter.
- Enter the data of x in L1 and data of y in L2.
- Click om STAT > CALC >LinReg ( ax +b) > ENTER.
- Hit 2nd and 1 to choose L1 and Hit 2nd and 2 to choose L2.
- Hit Enter.
The obtained output is:
From the above output, linear model and correlation coefficients are
(b)
To explain: If the model is representing the data well using the correlation coefficient.
(b)
Answer to Problem 28E
Yes.
Explanation of Solution
From the above part, it is known that
(c)
To plot: The provided data.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
Graph:
Using the Ti-83 calculator the figure is constructed as:
Interpretation:
In the above figure, the model is represented by the line and actual data by dots.
Since, the data points are lying on the line it could be concluded that model is well fitted for the actual data.
(d)
To predict: The average length of colt 112 days after birth.
(d)
Answer to Problem 28E
The average length is 116.0342.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The length could be calculated as:
The required average length is 116.0342.

- Rylee's car is stuck in the mud. Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude and its direction angle from the positive x-axis. 119 lb 20.2° 377 lbarrow_forwardAn airplane flies due west at an airspeed of 428 mph.
