Answer to Problem 18CRE
The scatterplot for the data is obtained as follows:
The relationship between the variables is nonlinear.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The data on success (%), y and energy of shock, x is given.
Scatterplot:
Software procedure:
Step-by-step procedure to draw the scatterplot using MINITAB software is given below:
- Choose Graph > Scatterplot.
- Choose Simple, and then click OK.
- Enter the column of y under Y variables.
- Enter the column of x under X variables.
- Click OK.
Thus, the scatterplot is obtained.
A careful observation of the scatterplot reveals that for lower values of x, the points are close to being linear. However, the curvature in the distribution of the points gradually increases with increasing values of x.
Thus, the relationship between the variables is nonlinear.

Residual plot:
From the output, the least-squares regression line is:
The ideal residual plot for a linear regression model must not show any pattern and must be randomly distributed. However, this residual plot clearly shows a curved pattern, with an approximate inverted U-shape. This suggests that the data is not linearly distributed.
Thus, the residual plot supports the conclusion in Part a.

Predict the success for an energy shock 1.75 times the threshold.
Predict the success for an energy shock 0.8 times the threshold.
e.

Answer to Problem 18CRE
The success for an energy shock 1.75 times the threshold is 86.98%.
The success for an energy shock 0.8 times the threshold is 52.63%.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The energy of shock is given as a multiple of the threshold of defibrillation.
For an energy shock 1.75 times the threshold,
Thus, the success for an energy shock 1.75 times the threshold is 86.98%.
For an energy shock 0.8 times the threshold,
Thus, the success for an energy shock 0.8 times the threshold is 52.63%.
