Suppose 5 out of 25 data points in a weighted least-squares problem have a y-measurement that is less reliable than the others, and they are to be weighted half as much as the other 20 points. One method is to weight the 20 points by a factor of 1 and the other 5 by a factor of

He suspects that advertisements with animations generate more clicks than advertisements without animations but wants to confirm his intuition before he starts recommending advertisements with animations to his clients. Ernesto creates advertisements with animations for 12 different products and then creates advertisements without animations for those same products. Then he measures the click-through rate for those advertisements. The data are provided below (given as percentages of total visitors to the site who clicked on the advertisement). Assume that the conditions required for this hypothesis test are satisfied. Use a calculator to test the paired data, where α=0.01. Compute the sample differences d using d=Without−With. Which of the following statements are accurate for this hypothesis test in order to evaluate the claim that the true mean difference between…arrow_forwardCarrie and Ryan have both computed the slope of the least-squares line using data for which the standard deviation of the x-values and the standard deviation of the y-values are equal. Carrie gets a value of 0.5 for the slope, and Ryan gets a value of 2. One of them is right. Which one?arrow_forward
- 4. We would like to determine how a man's weight can be used to predict his systolic blood pressure. We measure the weights (in pounds) and the systolic blood pressures of a sample of 17 men. The data are plotted on a scatterplot and it can be seen that a linear relationship is a reasonable assumption. The least squares regression line is calculated to be ŷ = 125.561 + 0.145x. The ANOVA table (with some values missing) is shown below: |Source of Variation | df | Sum of Squares Mean Square F Regression Error Total 26.46 617.82 (a) We would like to test whether a linear relationship exists between a man's weight and his systolic blood pressure. We will conduct an analysis of variance to test Ho: B1 = 0 vs. Ha: B1 + 0 at the 5% level of significance. Enter all missing values in the ANOVA table. Calculate the value of the test statistic, find the P-value of the test and provide a properly worded conclusion.

To investigate, they measured the grey matter density in two regions of the brain that are known to be associated with social perception and memory. They also recorded the number of Facebook friend of each study subject. The scatterplot below shows the relationship between these two variables along with the least squares fit. Note that grey matter density has been reported as a standardized z-score for each individual. Do not round in intermediate calculations for this problem. Round your results to 4 decimal places except where indicated below. -2 -1 Grey Matter Density 009 00s 008 007 001 Facebook Friendsarrow_forwardSuppose the manager of a gas station monitors how many bags of ice he sells daily along with recording the highest temperature each day during the summer. The data are plotted with temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit (°F), as the explanatory variable and the number of ice bags sold that day as the response variable. The least squares regression (LSR) line for the data is =-114.05+2.17X. On one of the observed days, the temperature was 85 °F and 66 bags of ice were sold. The number of bags of ice predicted to be sold by the LSR line, y, when the temperature is 85 °F is 70. Using the predicted value, compute the residual at this temperature. Answer:arrow_forward
- Disk drives have been getting larger. Their capacity is now often given in terabytes (TB) where 1 TB = 1000 gigabytes, or about a trillion bytes. A study of external disk drives finds the data available below. The least squares line was found to be Price = 14.00 + 66.457 Capacity with s. = 49.27 and SE (b,) = 13.2769. The assumptions and conditions for regression are met. Complete parts a through c below. E Click the icon to view the external disk drive data. a) Disk drives keep growing in capacity. Some tech experts now talk about the Petabyte (PB = 1000 TB = 1,000,000 GB) drives. What does this model predict that a Petabyte-capacity drive will cost?

The results are displayed in the scatterplot. The equation ŷ = 17.4 + 0.5x is called the least-squares regression line because it is least able to make accurate predictions for the data. makes the strongest association between weight and height. minimizes the sum of the squared distances from the actual y-value to the predicted y-value. maximizes the sum of the squared distances from the actual y-value to the predicted y-value.arrow_forwardMight we be able to predict life expectancies from birthrates?
