Answer to Problem 3.21SE

The relationship is not linear.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The table shows the data are the times (in months) required to write his books, in increments of 100 .

  Introduction to Probability and Statistics, Chapter 3, Problem 3.21SE , additional homework tip  4

Calculation:

The scatterplot for the given points are.

  Introduction to Probability and Statistics, Chapter 3, Problem 3.21SE , additional homework tip  5

The horizontal axis x represents the number of books and the vertical axis y represents the time (in months).

In the scatterplot,

The pattern position is upward The direction is positive.

Strength strong, because points do not deviate from general pattern.

Formed graph shows the curved nature.

Hence the relationship is not linear.

A study was undertaken to compare respiratory responses of hypnotized and unhypnotized subjects. The following data represent total ventilation measured in liters of air per minute per square meter of body area for two independent (and randomly chosen) samples.    Analyze these data using the appropriate non-parametric hypothesis test.   Unhypnotized:          5.0         5.3         5.3         5.4         5.9         6.2         6.6         6.7 Hypnotized:               5.8         5.9         6.2         6.6         6.7         6.1         7.3         7.4
The class will include a data exercise where students will be introduced to publicly available data sources. Students will gain experience in manipulating data from the web and applying it to understanding the economic and demographic conditions of regions in the U.S. Regions and topics of focus will be determined (by the student with instructor approval) prior to April. What data exercise can I do to fulfill this requirement? Please explain.
