Chapter 5.3, Problem 45E
The first Batman movie was made over 50 years ago in 1966. Over the years, Batman has been played on screen by a number of actors and even by a Lego figure in the Lego Batman movies. In the original comic books, Batman was 188 centimeters tall (about 6′2″) and weighed 95 kilograms (about 210 pounds). The article “50 Years of Batman on Film: How Has His Physique Changed?” (economist.com, March 28, 2016, retrieved April 22, 2017) included the heights and weights of all the onscreen Batmen in the table below.
With x = Height and y = Weight, the equation of the least-squares line is
- a. Calculate the residuals.
- b. Construct a residual plot. Are there any unusual features of the residual plot?
- c. The observation for Lego Batman (4, 4) is far removed from the other values in the data set (not surprising!). Is this observation influential in determining either the slope of the least-squares line, or the intercept, or both? Justify your answer.

A television news channel samples 25 gas stations from its local area and uses the results to estimate the average gas price for the state. What’s wrong with its margin of error?
You’re fed up with keeping Fido locked inside, so you conduct a mail survey to find out people’s opinions on the new dog barking ordinance in a certain city. Of the 10,000 people who receive surveys, 1,000 respond, and only 80 are in favor of it. You calculate the margin of error to be 1.2 percent. Explain why this reported margin of error is misleading.

A random sample of 14 households from the Montreal region and 16 households from the Quebec region was taken, providing the following data regarding expenditures in this economic sector. It is assumed that the data from each population are distributed normally. We are interested in knowing if the variances of the populations are equal. a) Perform the appropriate hypothesis test on two variances at a significance level of 1%. Include the following information: i. Hypothesis / Identification of populations ii. Critical F-value(s) iii. Decision rule iv. F-ratio value v.

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.
