Answer to Problem 6CRE
The equation of least-squares regression line isY=30.2+0.16X
Explanation of Solution
Given:
r = 0.6 ,
The Pre −exam:
mean 280 and standard deviation 30,
The final-exam:
mean 75 and standard deviation 8.
Calculation:
The slope of the least-square regression line of Final exam scores based on pre-exam scores is calculated as follows:
=0.16
Also, the Y-intercept is calculated as follows:
=75-0.15 x 280
=30.2
Hence, the equation of the least-squares line is:
Y=30.2+0.16X
Here, the slope b of above regression line (0.16) is the rate at which the predicted response Y changes among the line as the explanatory variable X changes. Specifically, b is the predicted change in Y when X increases by 1 unit.
Here b is positive; this shows of pre-exam totals increases by 1 mark then final examination score increases by 0.16 marks.
Conclusion:
Therefore, th equation of least-squares regression line is Y=30.2+0.16X

To predict: J’s final-exam score by using the regression line
(b)
Answer to Problem 6CRE
J’s final-exam scoreis 78.2.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
It is given that Julie’s pre-exam total was 300.
Then, the predicted final examination score is calculated as follows:
Julie’s predicted final examination score is 78.2.
Conclusion:
Hence, J’s final-exam score is 78.2.
(c)
the value of
(c)
Answer to Problem 6CRE
The value is R-square = 36%
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The
That is, r=0.6
Then
=0.36
That is, R-square=36%
Based on the value of R-square, we can say that 36% of the variation in final examination score is accounted for by the least-squares regression line of final examination score to pre-exam total.
That implies, 64% of the variation in final examination scores is unaccounted for by the linear relationship for these data. Professor Friedman’s prediction of Julie’s final examination score may not be very accurate.
Conclusion:
Hence,the value is R-square = 36%.

(i) Prove that if G is triangle free (no induced K3) then m(G) ≤ a(G)B(G). Hints - The neighborhood of a vertex in a triangle free graph must be independent; all edges have at least one end in a vertex cover. (ii) Show that all graphs of order n ≥ 3 and size m> [n2/4] contain a triangle. Hints - you may need to use either elementary calculus or the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.arrow_forwardWe consider the one-period model studied in class as an example. Namely, we assumethat the current stock price is S0 = 10. At time T, the stock has either moved up toSt = 12 (with probability p = 0.6) or down towards St = 8 (with probability 1−p = 0.4).We consider a call option on this stock with maturity T and strike price K = 10. Theinterest rate on the money market is zero.As in class, we assume that you, as a customer, are willing to buy the call option on100 shares of stock for $120. The investor, who sold you the option, can adopt one of thefollowing strategies: Strategy 1: (seen in class) Buy 50 shares of stock and borrow $380. Strategy 2: Buy 55 shares of stock and borrow $430. Strategy 3: Buy 60 shares of stock and borrow $480. Strategy 4: Buy 40 shares of stock and borrow $280.(a) For each of strategies 2-4, describe the value of the investor’s portfolio at time 0,and at time T for each possible movement of the stock.(b) For each of strategies 2-4, does the investor have…arrow_forward
