To find and interpret a confidence interval, at the specified confidence level 90%for the slope of the population regression line that relates the response variables to the predictor variable.

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is 90%confident that, for the Volatile emission, the increase in the mean length of Crown-Rump per 1 -week increase in age of foetuses is somewhere between 11.10and12.2 millimetres.

Given information

The given data is

02

Explanation

Regression t-interval

For a 90%confidence interval,

α=0.10

n=10

df=n-2

=10-2=8

tα/2=t0.10/2

=t0.05=1.860

The formula for calculating the endpoints of the confidence interval for β1are

b1±tα/2seSxx

Computation table

Sxy=xiyi-xiyi/n

=32476-(178)(1593)/10

=32476-283554/10

=32476-28355.4=4120.6

Sxx=xi2-xi2/n

=3522-(178)2/10

=3522-31684/10

=3522-3168.4=353.6

The total sum of square SST is

SSR=Sxy2Sxx

=(4120.6)2353.6

=16979344.36353.6

=48018.50781

SSE=SST-SSR

=48262.1-48018.50781=243.5921946

The slope of the regression line is

b1=SxySxx

=4120.6353.6

=11.65328054

The standard error of the estimate is

se=SSEn-2

=243.592194610-2

=5.5180634585.52

Substituting the values

11.65328054±1.860×5.52353.6

11.65328054±0.545812537,Or11.107to12.199

We can be 90%confident that, for the Volatile emission, the increase in the mean length of Crown-Rump per 1 -week increase in age of foetuses is somewhere between 11.10and 12.2millimetres.

14.25 Plant Emissions. Plants emit gases that trigger the ripening of fruit, attract pollinators, and cue other physiological responses. N. Agelopolous et al. examined factors that affect the emission of volatile compounds by the potato plant Solanum tuberosum and published their findings in the paper "Factors Affecting Volatile Emissions of Intact Potato Plants, Solanum tuberosum: Variability of Quantities and Stability of Ratios" (Journal of Chemical Ecology, Vol. 26(2), pp. 497-511). The volatile compounds analyzed were hydrocarbons used by other plants and animals. Following are data on plant weight (x), in grams, and quantity of volatile compounds emitted (y), in hundreds of nanograms, for 11 potato plants.

Movie Grosses. The data from Exercise14.36 on domestic and overseas grosses for a random sample of 50 movies are on the WeissStats site.

In Exercises 14.98-14.108, use the technology of your choice to do the following tasks.
a. Decide whether your can reasonably apply the conditional mean and predicted value t-interval procedures to the data. If so, then also do parts (b) - (h).
b. Determine and interpret a point estimate for the conditional mean of the response variable corresponding to the specified value of the predictor variable.
c. Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the conditional mean of the response variable corresponding to the specified value of the predictor variable.
d. Determine and interpret the predicted value of the response variable corresponding to the specified value of the predictor variable.
e. Find and interpret a 95% prediction interval for the value of the response variable corresponding to the specified value of the predictor variable.
f. Compare and discuss the differences between the confidence interval that you obtained in part (c) and the prediction interval that you obtained in part (e).

14.103 High and Low Temperature. The data from Exercise 14.31for average high and low temperatures in January of a random sample, of 50cities are on the WeissStats site. Specified value of the predictor variable: 55°F.

Acreage and Value. The document Arizona Residential Property Valuation System, published by the Arizona Department of Revenue, describes how county assessors use computerized systems to value single-family residential properties for property tax purposes. On the WeissStats site are data on lot size (in acres) and assessed value (in thousands of dollars) for a sample of homes in a particular area.

Crown-Rump Length. In the article "The Human Vomeronasal Organ. Part II: Prenatal Development" (Joumal of Anatomy, Vol. 197, Issue 3, pp. 421-436), T. Smith and K. Bhatnagar examined the controversial issue of the human vomeronasal organ, regarding its structure, function, and identity. The following table shows the age of fetuses (x), in weeks, and length of crown-rump (y), in millimeters.
