Answer to Problem 8SRE

The regression equation for predicting y from x is y^=1.6667+0.5333x_.

Explanation of Solution

The general equation of the regression line is given below:

y^=Intercept+Slope×x

The value of Intercept is given below:

y-intercept=y¯Slope×x¯

Where,

x¯sample average of xy¯sample average of ySlope=r×sysxr=(xix¯)(yiy¯)(n1)sxsysx=(xix¯)2nx1sy=(yiy¯)2ny1

The sample average of x is shown below:

x¯=xin=1+8+10+10+14+176=606=10

The sample average of y is shown below:

x¯=xin=1+4+6+12+12+76=426=7

The table below represents the values that help to find the regression equation:

xy(xix¯)(yiy¯)(xix¯)(yiy¯)(xix¯)2(yiy¯)2
11-9-6548136
84-2-3649
1060-1001
1012050025
141245201625
177700490
Total8015096

The value of sx is given below:

sx=(xix¯)2nx1=15061=1505=5.4772

The value of sy is given below:

sx=(yiy¯)2ny1=9661=965=4.3818

The value of r is given below:

r=80(61)(5.4772)(4.3818)=80119.9999=0.6667

The slope of the regression line is given below:

Slope=r×sysx=0.6667×4.38185.4772=0.5333

The value of Intercept is given below:

y-intercept=y¯Slope×x¯=70.5333×10=1.6667

Substitute the corresponding values in the regression equation.

The regression equation for predicting y from x is y^=1.6667+0.5333x_.

A major company in the Montreal area, offering a range of engineering services from project preparation to construction execution, and industrial project management, wants to ensure that the individuals who are responsible for project cost estimation and bid preparation demonstrate a certain uniformity in their estimates. The head of civil engineering and municipal services decided to structure an experimental plan to detect if there could be significant differences in project evaluation. Seven projects were selected, each of which had to be evaluated by each of the two estimators, with the order of the projects submitted being random. The obtained estimates are presented in the table below.   a) Complete the table above by calculating: i. The differences (A-B) ii. The sum of the differences iii. The mean of the differences iv. The standard deviation of the differences b) What is the value of the t-statistic? c) What is the critical t-value for this test at a significance level of 1%?…
