The fitted regression line is yห = 5.221 – 0.1140 x. Since the coefficient of time is negative, there
is evidence that the mass of the spill tends to decrease as time increases. For each minute

Because r is fairly close to 0, there is a very weak positive linear relationship between the
proportion of names recalled and position.

Since the observed value of the test statistic falls in the rejection region ๏จ t ๏ฝ 17.753 ๏พ 1.645 ๏ฉ ,
H0 is rejected. There is sufficient evidence to indicate the true population correlation
coefficient relating NRMSE and bias is positive at ๏ก ๏ฝ 0.5.

b.
No, we would not recommend using NRMSE as a linear predictor of bias. The estimated
correlation coefficient is r ๏ฝ 0.2838. This indicates that there is a rather weak positive linear
relationship between NRMSE and bias. The sample size was extremely large. The larger
the sample size, the easier it is to find statistical significance. In this case, there is statistical
significance, but not practical significance.

The sample correlation coefficient between PSI and PHI-F is r ๏ฝ 0.401. There is a weak
positive linear relationship between the perceived sensory intensity and the perceived

The sample correlation coefficient between PSI and PHI-L is r ๏ฝ ๏ญ0.375. There is a weak
negative linear relationship between the perceived sensory intensity and the perceived
hedonic intensity for least favorite food.
b.
Yes, we agree that those with the greatest taste intensity tend to experience more extreme
food likes and dislikes. As the taste intensity increases, the intensity of favorite foods tends
to increase. As the taste intensity increases, the intensity of least favorite foods tends to
decrease.

First, examine the formulas for the confidence interval and the prediction interval. The only
difference is that the prediction interval has an extra term (a “1”) beneath the radical. Thus,
the prediction interval must be wider:

The error in estimating the mean value of y, E ๏จ y ๏ฉ , for a given value of x, say xp, is the

two errors: the error of estimating the mean of y, E ๏จ y ๏ฉ , plus the random error of the actual
values of y around its mean. Consequently, the error of predicting a particular value of y
will be larger than the error of estimating the mean value of y for a particular value of x.

The least squares estimate of the slope, ๏ขห1 ๏ฝ 0.116, implies that the estimated MTBE increases

the observed values of the pH level which is from 5.28 to 9.48. The estimated y-intercept,

To determine if there is a linear relationship between the MTBE and the pH level, we test:

The test statistic is t = 0.28 and the p-value is p = 0.782. Since the p-value is so large, H0 will not

The least squares estimate of the slope, ๏ขห1 ๏ฝ 0.1917, implies that the estimated heat rate increases
by 0.1917 units for each additional unit increase in the speed. This interpretation is valid only
over the observed values of the speed level which is from 3,000 to 33,000. The estimated

The estimate of ๏ณ is s ๏ฝ 862.007 . We expect most of the observations to fall within
2s ๏ฝ 2 ๏จ 862.007 ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 1724.014 units of their predicted values.
To determine if there is a linear relationship between the heat rate and the speed, we test:
H 0 : ๏ข1 = 0
H a : ๏ข1 ยน 0
The test statistic is t = 12.69 and the p-value is p = 0.000. Since the p-value is so small, H0 will
be rejected for any reasonable value of ๏ก . There is sufficient evidence to indicate there is a linear
relationship between the heat rate and speed.
r 2 ๏ฝ 0.7173 This indicates that 71.73% of the variability in the heat rate values is explained by
the linear relationship between heat rate and the speed. This indicates that a linear regression line
models the relationship between heat rate and speed fairly well.

For every one unit increase in the number of factors per patient, we estimate the patient’s
length of stay to increase 0.01475 days.
d.
To determine if the number of factors per patient contributes information for the prediction
of the patientโs length of stay, we test:
H 0 : ๏ข1 ๏ฝ 0
H a : ๏ข1 ๏น 0
The test statistic is t ๏ฝ 5.36 and the p-value is p ๏ผ 0.0001. Since the p-value is less
than ๏ก ๏จ p ๏ผ 0.0001 ๏ผ 0.05 ๏ฉ , H0 is rejected. There is sufficient evidence to indicate that the
number of factors per patient contributes information for the prediction of the patientโs
length of stay at ๏ก ๏ฝ 0.05.

From the printout, the 95% confidence interval is (0.00922, 0.02029). We are 95% confident

0.00917 and 0.02033 days.

the number of factors and the length of stay.

r 2 ๏ฝ 0.3740 37.4% of the variability around the mean length of stay can be explained by
the linear relationship between the number of factors and the length of stay.
h.
From the printout, the 95% prediction interval is ๏จ 2.44798, 10.98081๏ฉ .
i.
There is a significant linear relationship between length of stay and the number of factors.
However, the value of r 2 is only r 2 ๏ฝ 0.3740. Thus, only a little over a third of the
variability in the lengths of stays is explained by the model. Many other variables could be
affecting the lengths of stay other than the number of factors.

y = ๏ข 0 + ๏ข1 x + ๏ฅ
b.
A value of r ๏ฝ 0.68 indicates a moderate positive linear relationship between RMP and SET
ratings.
c.
The slope is positive since the correlation coefficient is positive.
d.
Since the p-value is so small ๏จ p ๏ฝ 0.001๏ฉ , H0 is rejected for any value of ๏ก ๏พ 0.001. This
indicates that there is a significant correlation between RMP and SET ratings.
e.
r 2 = (0.68) = 0.4624 46.24% of the variability of the sample SET ratings about their
mean can be explained by the linear relationship between the SET ratings and the RMP
ratings.
a.
Yes. For the men, as the year increases, the winning time tends to decrease. The
straight-line model is y ๏ฝ ๏ข 0 ๏ซ ๏ข1x ๏ซ ๏ฅ . We would expect the slope to be negative.
b.
Yes. For the women, as the year increases, the winning time tends to decrease. The
straight-line model is y ๏ฝ ๏ข 0 ๏ซ ๏ข1 x ๏ซ ๏ฅ . We would expect the slope to be negative.
c.
Since the slope of the womenโs line is steeper than that for the men, the slope of the
womenโs line will be greater in absolute value.
d.
No. The gathered data is from 1880 to 2000. Using this data to predict the time for the year
2020 would be very risky. We have no idea what the relationship between time and year
will be outside the observed range. Thus, we would not recommend using this model.

The fitted regression line is yห ๏ฝ ๏ญ13.49 ๏ญ 0.0528 x.
๏ขห0 ๏ฝ ๏ญ13.49 Since 0 is not within the range of observed value of temperature, ๏ขห0 has no
meaning.
๏ขห1 ๏ฝ ๏ญ0.0528 For each degree increase in temperature, the mean proportion of impurity is
estimated to decrease by 0.0528.
b.
From the printout, the 95% confidence interval for ๏ข1 is ๏จ ๏ญ0.07065, ๏ญ 0.03501๏ฉ . We estimate
the mean proportion of impurity will decrease by anywhere from 0.07065 and 0.0351 for
each degree increase in temperature. Because 0 is not contained in this interval, there is
evidence to indicate that temperature contributes information about the proportions of
impurity passing through helium.
c.
From the printout, r 2 ๏ฝ 0.8538. 85.38% of the variability in the proportion of impurity
passing through helium around their means is explained by the linear relationship between
the temperature and the proportion of impurity.

Piano: r = 0.447
Because this value is near 0.5, there is a slight positive linear relationship between

Because this value is extremely close to 0, there is an extremely weak negative linear
relationship between recognition exposure time and goodness of view for bench.

Because this value is near 0.5, there is a moderate positive linear relationship between

To determine if the model is statistically useful for predicting actual pipe location, we test:
H 0 : ๏ข1 = 0
H a : ๏ข1 ยน 0
The test statistic is t ๏ฝ 1.62 and the p-value is p ๏ฝ 0.118. Since the p-value is not small, H0 is
not rejected. There is insufficient evidence to indicate the model is statistically useful for
predicting actual pipe location at ๏ก ๏ผ 0.118.
Since there is no statistical evidence that there is a linear relationship between the dowsersโ
guesses and the pipe location, this refutes the conclusion made by the German physicists. In
addition, these were the โbestโ results of the โbestโ dowsers. If there was no relationship
between the dowsersโ guesses and the pipe location for the โbestโ of the โbestโ, there will not
be a relationship between dowsersโ guesses and the pipe locations for all of the dowsers.
