Answer to Problem 26.38E

Scatterplot:

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

BASIC PRAC OF STATISTICS+LAUNCHPAD+REE, Chapter 26, Problem 26.38E , additional homework tip  1

The correlation is 0.649.

The least-squares regression line is Cal^=560.73.077 Time.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The data shows the number of calories the child consumed during lunch.

Calculation:

Scatterplot:

From the given information, Calories is the response variable and Time is the explanatory variable.

Software procedure:

Step-by-step procedure to construct the scatterplot of the Calories against Time using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Stat > Regression > Fitted Line Plot.
  • In Responses, enter the column of Calories.
  • In Predictors, enter the column of Time.
  • In Type of Regression Model, Check as Linear.
  • Click OK.
  • Observation:

From the scatterplot, it can be observed that the negative linear pattern. Also, there are two outliers present in the scatter plot. Hence, there should be any concerns about these data for using a non-linear model.

  • Least-squares regression line:

From the MINITAB output, the least-squares regression line is Cal^=560.73.077 Time.

  • Correlation:

From the plot, the squared correlation r2 value is 42.1% or 0.421. Therefore, the correlation value is calculated as follows:

r=r2=0.421=0.649

Thus, the correlation value is 0.649.

Answer to Problem 26.38E

  • The conditions for regression inference are not satisfied.

Explanation of Solution

  • Calculation:

Linear Relationship:

Scatterplot:

From the given information, Residual is the response variable and Time is the explanatory variable.

Software procedure:

Step-by-step procedure to construct the scatterplot of the residuals against Time using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Graph > Scatter plot.
  • Choose With Regression, and then click OK.
  • Under Y variables, enter a column of Residual.
  • Under X variables, enter a column of Time.
  • Click OK.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

BASIC PRAC OF STATISTICS+LAUNCHPAD+REE, Chapter 26, Problem 26.38E , additional homework tip  2

Observation:

The scatterplot of the residuals against time shows that the points are plotted closer to the line. But, there are two outliers present in the scatter plot. Thus, there are no deviations from a straight line apparent.

Hence, there should not be any concern about these data for using a linear model.

Normality Assumption:

Software procedure:

Step-by-step procedure to construct the histogram of the residuals using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Graph > Histogram > Simple.
  • Under Graph variables, enter a column of Residual.
  • Click OK.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

BASIC PRAC OF STATISTICS+LAUNCHPAD+REE, Chapter 26, Problem 26.38E , additional homework tip  3

Observation:

From histogram of residual, it can be observed that the bars are plotted more on the left side. Therefore, the plot provided the moderate skewness. Thus, the skewness suggests lack of normality.

Independent Assumption:

Here, the 20 observations are measured separately. Hence, it can be concluded that the observations are independent of each other.

Variability Assumption:

From the scatter plot in Part (a), it can be observed that there are no deviations from a straight line apparent. Hence, there is not any evidence that the variability may be larger at one end.

  • (c)
To determine

  • To check: Whether there is significant evidence that more time at the table is associated with more calories consumed or not.
  • To find: The 95% confidence interval to estimate how rapidly calories consumed changes as time at the table increases.

  • (c)
Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 26.38E

  • The conclusion is that, there is significant evidence that more time at the table is associated with more calories consumed.
  • The 95% confidence interval to estimate how rapidly calories consumed changes as time at the table increases is (4.8625,1.2917).

Explanation of Solution

  • Calculation:

The appropriate hypotheses for the given model are as follows:

Null hypothesis:

H0:β=0

Alternative hypothesis:

Ha:β>0

Test statistic and P-value:

From the given information, Calories (Cal) is the response variable and Time is the explanatory variable

Software procedure:

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the test statistic and the P-value using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Stat > Regression > Regression.
  • In Responses, enter the column of Cal.
  • In Predictors, enter the column of Time.
  • Click OK.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below

BASIC PRAC OF STATISTICS+LAUNCHPAD+REE, Chapter 26, Problem 26.38E , additional homework tip  4

From the MINITAB output, the test statistic value is –3.62 and the P-value is 0.002.

Conclusion:

Use significance level, α=0.05.

Here, P-value is 0.002, which is less than the value of α=0.05.

Therefore, by the rejection rule, it can be concluded that there is an evidence to reject H0 at α=0.05. That is, there is a significant evidence that more time at the table is associated with more calories consumed.

Confidence interval:

The formula for the 95% confidence interval for the population slope β is,

b±t*SEb

Where, t* is the critical value with n2 degrees of freedom and SEb is the standard error of slope. That is, SEb=a(xx¯)2.

Critical value of t:

The degrees of freedom for the test statistic (t):

Degreesoffreedom=n2=202=18

From Table C, t distribution critical values, the required t* with 18 degrees of freedom and 95% confidence level is 2.101.

Confidence interval:

The 95% confidence interval to estimate how rapidly calories consumed changes as time at the table increases is as follows,

CI=b±t*SEb=3.0771±(2.101)(0.8498)=3.0771±1.7854=(4.8625,1.2917)

Thus, the 95% confidence interval to estimate how rapidly calories consumed changes as time at the table increases is (4.8625,1.2917).
