Chapter 5, Problem 70CR

The following data on x = Score on a measure of test anxiety and y = Exam score for a sample of n = 9 students are consistent with summary quantities given in the paper “Effects of Humor on Test Anxiety and Performance” (Psychological Reports [1999]: 1203–1212):

Chapter 5, Problem 70CR, The following data on x = Score on a measure of test anxiety and y = Exam score for a sample of n =

Higher values for x indicate higher levels of anxiety.

  1. a. Construct a scatterplot, and comment on the features of the plot.
  2. b. Does there appear to be a linear relationship between the two variables? How would you characterize the relationship?
  3. c. Calculate the value of the correlation coefficient. Is the value of r consistent with your answer to Part (b)?
  4. d. Is it reasonable to conclude that test anxiety caused poor exam performance? Explain.

D. A study aims to determine the relationship of salt intake to the blood pressure of persons aged 15 years and over. The mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 20 subjects with a low salt diet was compared to that of an equal number of subjects with a high salt diet. The following data were generated: High Salt Diet Low Salt Diet Mean SBP 138 mmHg 120 mmHg Std. dev. of SBP 11.9 mmHg 12.2 mmHg Is there a difference between the means of systolic blood pressure of subjects with high and low salt diets?
The accompanying data were read from a plot (and are a subset of the complete data set) given in an article. The data represent the mean response times for a group of individuals with closed-head injury (CHI) and a matched control group without head injury on 10 different tasks. Each observation was based on a different study, and used different subjects, so it is reasonable to assume that the observations are independent. y = Study 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Mean Response Time CHI 302 492 658 684 922 1044 1421 1329 1481 1815 t = Control 250 360 475 (a) Fit a linear regression model that would allow you to predict the mean response time for those suffering a closed-head injury from the mean response time on the same task for individuals with no head injury.

The following scatterplot shows the selling price (according to Kelly’s Blue Book) of 31 Toyota Camry’s as a function of their mileage.  a)What does this scatterplot tell you? The result of a simple linear regression analysis with “Selling Price” as the dependent and “Mileage” as the independent variable are given below:  b) Is there a statistically significant relationship between selling price and mileage? Explain your answer. c) How would the selling price change for every additional 10,000 miles of a Camry? Find a 95% confidence interval for that change.
