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
(b)
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%.

- A market research firm used a sample of individuals to rate the purchase potential of a particular product before and after the individuals saw a new television commercial about the product. The purchase potential ratings were based on a 0 to 10 scale, with higher values indicating a higher purchase potential. The null hypothesis stated that the mean rating "after" would be less than or equal to the mean rating "before." Rejection of this hypothesis would show that the commercial improved the mean purchase potential rating. Use = .05 and the following data to test the hypothesis and comment on the value of the commercial.
