Chapter 5.3, Problem 30E
The data in the accompanying table is from the paper “Six-Minute Walk Test in Children and Adolescents” (The Journal of Pediatrics [2007]: 395–399). Two hundred and eighty boys completed a test that measures the distance that the subject can walk on a flat, hard surface in 6 minutes. For each age group shown in the table, the
- a. With x = Representative age and y = Median distance walked in 6 minutes, construct a
scatterplot . Does the pattern in the scatterplot look linear? - b. Find the equation of the least-squares line that describes the relationship between median distance walked in 6 minutes and representative age.
- c. Calculate the five residuals and construct a residual plot. (Hint: See Examples 5.7 and 5.8.)
- d. Are there any unusual features in the residual plot?

Examine the Variables: Carefully review and note the names of all variables in the dataset. Examples of these variables include:
Mileage (mpg)
Number of Cylinders (cyl)
Displacement (disp)
Horsepower (hp)
Research: Google to understand these variables.
Statistical Analysis: Select mpg variable, and perform the following statistical tests. Once you are done with these tests using mpg variable, repeat the same with hp
Mean
Median
First Quartile (Q1)
Second Quartile (Q2)
Third Quartile (Q3)
Fourth Quartile (Q4)
10th Percentile

Skewness
Kurtosis
Document Your Results:
In RStudio: Before running each statistical test, provide a heading in the format shown at the bottom. “# Mean of mileage – Your name’s command”
In Microsoft Word: Once you've completed all tests, take a screenshot of your results in RStudio and paste it into a Microsoft Word document. Make sure that snapshots are very clear. You will need multiple snapshots. Also transfer these results to the…
