Chapter 14: Q. 14.1 (page 560)

Suppose that x and y are predictor and response variables, respectively, of a population. Consider the population that consists of all members of the original population that have a specified value of the predictor variable. The distribution, mean, and standard deviation of the response variable for this population are called the______, ______ and _____ respectively, corresponding to the specified value of the predictor variable.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Conditional distribution, conditional mean, and standard deviation,

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The distribution, mean, and standard deviation of the response variable for this population are called the____, ____ and ____ respectively, corresponding to the specified value of the predictor variable.

02

Explanation

The population's conditional distribution is defined as the distribution of the response variable.

The standard deviation is called the conditional standard deviation, and the mean is called the conditional mean.

"The distribution, mean, and standard deviation of the response variable for this population are called the conditional distribution, conditional mean, and standard deviation, respectively, corresponding to the specified value of the predictor value.

Most popular questions from this chapter

To find and interpret a confidence interval, at the specified confidence level 99%for the slope of the population regression line that relates the response variables to the predictor variable.

U.S. Presidents. The Information Please Almanac provides data on the ages at the inauguration and death of the presidents of the United States. We give those data on the WeissStats site for those residents who are not still living at the time of this writing.

In Exercises 14.12-14.21, we repeat the data and provide the sample regression equations for Exercises 4.48 -4.57.

a. Determine the standand error of the estimate.

b. Construct a residual plot.

c. Construct a normal probability plot of the residuals.

Plant Emissions. Use the data on plant weight and quantity of volatile emissions from Exercise 14.25.

a. compute the standard error of the estimate and interpret your answer

b. interpret your result from part (a) if the assumptions for regression inferences hold.

c. obtain a residual plot and a normal probability plot of the residuals.

d. decide whether you can reasonably consider Assumptionsfor regression inferences to be met by the variables under consideration. (The answer here is subjective, especially in view of the extremely small sample sizes.)

High and Low Temperature. The data from Exercise 14.39for average high and low temperatures in January for a random sample of 50cities are on the WeissStats site.

a. Decide whether you can reasonably apply the regression t-test. If so, then also do part (b).

b. Decide, at the 5%significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the predictor variable is useful for predicting the response variable.
