Answer to Problem 5.20CYS

Option (a): $5.50.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct option:

In scatterplot, the ballpark charge of 0.60 dollar per ounce for beer in the x axis intersects the regression line which corresponds to 5.50 in the y axis. This is shown below:

Therefore, the correct option is (b).

Reason for the incorrect answer:

Option (a) and option (c) are incorrect, because the corresponding predicted value of a hot dog cannot be determined from the given scatterplot.

Conclusion:

If another ballpark charges 0.60 dollar per ounce for beer, the predicted value of a hot dog will be close to $5.50.

The head of civil engineering and municipal services decided to structure an experimental plan to detect if there could be significant differences in project evaluation. Seven projects were selected, each of which had to be evaluated by each of the two estimators, with the order of the projects submitted being random. The obtained estimates are presented in the table below.   a) Complete the table above by calculating: i. The differences (A-B) ii. The sum of the differences iii. The mean of the differences iv. The standard deviation of the differences b) What is the value of the t-statistic? c) What is the critical t-value for this test at a significance level of 1%?…
