Chapter 5, Problem 19CRE
The paper “Population Pressure and Agricultural Intensity” (Annals of the Association of American Geographers [1977]: 384–396) reported a positive association between population density and agricultural intensity. The following data consist of measures of population density (x) and agricultural intensity (y) for 18 different subtropical locations:
- a. Construct a
scatterplot of y versus x. Is the scatterplot compatible with the statement of positive association made in the paper? - b. Draw a scatterplot that uses y and x2. Does this transformation straighten the plot?
- c. Draw a scatterplot that uses log(y) and x. The log(y) values, given in order corresponding to the y values, are 0.95, 0.85, 0.78, 1.70, 0.70, 2.00, 0.85, 1.15, 1.15, 1.00, 1.70, 1.15, 1.70, 2.18, 1.00, 1.83, 2.00, and 2.00. How does this scatterplot compare with that of Part (b)?
- d. Now consider a scatterplot that uses transformations on both x and y: log(y) and x2. Is this effective in straightening the plot? Explain.

B) Descriptive statics
C) A box-whisker plot
D) A flow chart
True/False
1. True or False? Using a 95% confidence interval to describe an odds ratio allows other researchers to determine if the results were statistically significant because a statistically significant odds ratio confidence interval will not include the number 1.
2. True or False? The r2 value and a least squares regression line can be an excellent way to demonstrate the degree of correlation between two variables, and the type of…
