Researchers are examining the relationship between hours of sleep and athletic performance among college athletes. Athletic performance will be measured on a numeric scale, with greater numbers indicating better performance. The researchers expect that the more hours the athletes sleep, the better they will perform. Assuming all conditions for inference are met, the researchers will create a 95 percent confidence interval for the slope of the regression line for predicting athletic performance from amount of sleep. For which of the following would the confidence interval support the researchers' expectations? (A) The confidence interval includes only positive values. (B) The confidence interval includes only negative values. (C) The confidence interval has a width less than 1. (D) The confidence interval has a width greater than 1. (E) The confidence interval includes the value 0.

The average height of a large group of children is 43 inches, and the SD is 1.2inches. The average weight of these children is 40 pounds, and the SD is 2pounds. The correlation between the two variables is r = 0.65.A scatter diagram is drawn, with height on the horizontal axis and weight on thevertical axis. The scatter diagram is football shaped. The regression line forpredicting weight based on height is drawn through the scatter.(a) Predict the weights and the typical size of the error for those predictions ineach of the following case:A child who is 43 inches tall is predicted to weigh _____________ pounds, give ortake _____________ pounds.A child who is 41.8 inches tall is predicted to weigh ____________ pounds, give ortake _____________ pounds.

ABC Limited is a small company that produces premium toys for pets. It assumes that sales depend on the number of advertisements. The table below (named "ABC Limited") provides 50 sample data points (from the past) that show the relationship between the number of advertisements and sales of the company made. The company would like to determine if the number of advertisements impacts Sales and if so, by how much. Using excel, run a regression analysis (at a confidence level of 95%) for the data table given below. Based on the output you get, answer the following three questions: 1a. Provide an interpretation of the value you received for Multiple R, R-square, and Adjusted R-square. Explain what they mean in this context. 1b. Create a regression equation based on the output. Explain what does b0 and b1 imply in this context. Explain what Significance F and P-value for the X variable 1 imply in this context. 2). Assume that the company wants to use 34 (number of ) advertisements…
Anagha is interested in buying a new Model X car and wants to gather information about how the selling price of the car is related to the year of the model. She randomly selects 24 used Model X cars for sale. For each used car, she records the car’s selling price (in dollars) and age (in years). She computes a 96 percent confidence interval to estimate the slope of the regression line relating the age of a used Model X car to its selling price. The resulting confidence interval is given by (−5,556,−3,157). Assume that the conditions for inference on the slope of the regression equation are met. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the confidence interval? We are 96 percent confident that a Model X car will have a predicted decrease in selling price of between $3,157 and $5,556. A Ninety-six percent of the time, a one-year increase in the age of a Model X car will result in a predicted decrease in selling price of between $3,157 and $5,556. B…

A random sample of 15 college soccer players were selected to investigate the relationship between heart rate and maximal oxygen uptake. The heart rate and maximal oxygen uptake were recorded for each player during a training session. A regression analysis of the data was conducted, where heart rate is the explanatory variable and maximal oxygen uptake is the response variable. If a 95 percent confidence interval is constructed for the slope of the population regression line, which of the following is a condition that must be checked? A)The true relationship between heart rate and maximal oxygen uptake is linear. B)The correlation between heart rate and maximal oxygen uptake is not equal to zero. C)The confidence interval is not biased. D).The point (x_,y_) falls on the regression line. The X and Y have a line on top. E)The slope is not equal to zero.
The table below lists weights (carats) and prices (dollars) of randomly selected diamonds. Find the (a) explained variation, (b) unexplained variation, and (c) indicated prediction interval. There is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation, so it is reasonable to use the regression equation when making predictions. For the prediction interval, use a 95% confidence level with a diamond that weighs 0.8 carats. Weight Price 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.5 1.0 0.7 $509 $1157 $1348 $1411 $5669 $2283 a. Find the explained variation.
