The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration publishes temperature and precipitation information for cities around the world in Climates of the World. Data on average high temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) in July and average precipitation (in inches) In July for \(48\) cities are on the Weiss Stats.

  • For the estimations and predictions, use an average July temperature of \(83 \degree F\).
  • For the correlation test, decide whether average high temperature in July and average precipitation in July are linearly correlated.

a. determine the sample regression equation.

b. find and interpret the standard error of the estimate.

c. 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.

d. determine and interpret a point estimate for the conditional mean of the response variable corresponding to the specified value of the predictor variable.

e. find and interpret a \(95%\) confidence interval for the conditional mean of the response variable corresponding to the specified value of the predictor variable.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part a. \(\hat{y}=0.0067+2.0481x\)

Part b. \(s_{e}=2.4134\)

Part c. The null hypothesis is rejected, so the consumption of beef last year is less compared to year \(2011\).

Part d. The test is invalid, on the grounds that there are exceptions are available in the informational index and these anomalies impact the finish of the test (while it isn't proper to expel the information esteem from the informational index).

Part e. If the four outliers are not recording errors, so it is not an appropriate to remove from the sample.

Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. Given information

The value of a and b is given

\(a\approx 0.0067\)

\(b\approx 2.0481\)

02

Part a. Step 2. Calculation

We know that the regression line

\(\hat{y}=a+bx\)

Put the given value of a and b into the above equation

\(\hat{y}=a+bx\)

\(hat{y}=0.0067+2.0481x\)

The solution is \(hat{y}=0.0067+2.0481x\)

03

Part b. Step 1. Given information

The value of a and b is given

\(a=79.4036\)

\(b= -0.3537\)

04

Part b. Step 2. Calculation

We know that the regression line

\(\hat{y}=a+bx\)

Put the given value of a and b into the above equation

\(\hat{y}=a+bx\)

\(hat{y}=0.0067+2.0481x\)

Calculate the standard error

\(s_{e}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\)

After solving we will get

\(s_{e}=2.4134\)

The solution is \(s_{e}=2.4134\)

05

Part c. Step 1. Calculation

The predictor variable useful for predicting the response variable, when the slope of the sample regression line is nonzero.

\(H_{0}:\beta =0\)

\(H_{a}:\beta \neq 0\)

The p-value of the hypothesis will be

\(P\approx 0.8090\)

The null hypothesis is rejected.

\(P<0.05 \rightarrow\) Fail to Reject \(H_{0}\)

The null hypothesis is not rejected, so there is no sufficient evidence are provided for the sample.

06

Part d. Step 1. Calculation

Calculate the mean of the data of beef consumption this year

\(\bar{x}=\frac{\sum _{i-1}^{n}x_{i}}{n}\)

\(=\frac{70+58+...+13+40}{40}\)

\(=\frac{2069}{40}\)

\(\bar{x}=51.725\)

07

Part e. Step 1. Calculation

Calculate the mean of the data of beef consumption this year

\(\bar{x}=\frac{\sum _{i-1}^{n}x_{i}}{n}\)

\(=\frac{70+58+...+13+40}{40}\)

\(=\frac{2069}{40}\)

\(\bar{x}=51.725\)

Then calculate the variance

\(s^{2}=\frac{\sum (x-\bar{x})^{2}}{n-1}\)

\(=\frac{(70-51.725)^{2}+(58-51.725)^{2}+..+(40-51.725)^{2}}{40-1}\)

\(=\frac{14817.975}{39}\)

\(s^{2}=379.9481\)

Calculate the standard deviation

\(s=\sqrt{s^{2}}=\sqrt{379.9481}\approx 19.4923\)

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.

In Exercises 14.70-14.80, use the technology of your choice to do the following tasks.

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

b. Decide, at the5% significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the predictor variable is useful for predicting the response variable.

PCBs and Pelicans.

Use the data points given on the WeissStats site for shell thickness and concentration of PCBs for 60 Anacapa pelican eggs referred to in Exercise 14.40.

Gas Guzzlers. Use the data on the WeissStats site for gas mileage and engine displacement for 121 vehicles referred to in Exercise 14.41.

Custom Homes. Use the size and price data for custom homes from Exercise 14.24.

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 Assumptions 1-3for regression inferences to be met by the variables under consideration. (The answer here is subjective, especially in view of the extremely small sample sizes.)

Foot-pressure Angle. Genu valgum, commonly known as "knee-knock, is a condition in which the knees angle in and touch one another when standing. Genu varum, commonly known as "bow-legged," is a condition in which the knees angle out and the legs bow when standing. In the article "Frontal Plane Knee Angle Affects Dynamic Postural Control Strategy during Unilateral Stance" (Medicine and Science in Sports de Exercise, Vol. 34, No, 7, Pp. 1150-1157), J. Nyland et al studied patients with and without these conditions, One aspect of the study was to see whether patients with genu valgum or genu varum had a different angle of foot pressure when standing. The following table provides summary statistics for the angle, in degrees, of the anterior-posterior center of foot pressure for patients that have genu valgum, genu varum, or neither condition.

At the significance level. do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in the mean angle of anterior-posterior center of foot pressure among people in the three condition groups? Note; For the degrees of freedom in this exercise:
