Software procedure:
Step-by-step procedure to construct scatterplot for x and y for all four data sets by using the MINITAB software:
- Choose Graph > Scatter plot.
- Choose With Regression, and then click OK.
- Under Y variables, enter a column of y.
- Under X variables, enter a column of x.
- Click OK.
Observation:
The scatterplot shows that the predicted values are passed through the regression line of the model. Moreover, there is outlier that appears in the x and y directions for the data set A, B, and C. Also, the scatterplot for the data set D shows that the most of the points are plotted around 8.

To identify: Which of the four cases would you be willing to use the regression line to describe the dependence of y on x.
(c)
Answer to Problem 5.42E
The data set A would use the regression line to describe the dependence of y on x.
Explanation of Solution
From the scatterplots for all data sets, it can be observed that the points for data set A are scattered around the straight line when compared to the other data sets. Hence, the data set A would use the regression line to describe the dependence of y on x.

Once marked on the bell curve, figure out what calculations are needed to find the area of interest. =NORM.DIST(x, Mean, Standard Dev., TRUE). When the question mentions “greater than” you may have to subtract your answer from 1. When the question mentions “between (two values)”, you need to do separate calculation for both values and then subtract their results to get the answer. 1. Compute the probability of a value between 44.0 and 55.0. (The question requires finding probability value between 44 and 55. Solve it in 3 steps.
