Chapter 3: Q.4.2 (page 179)

For this regression, s=2.27. Interpret this value in context.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Utilizing the least square equation of the regression line the supplied value of residual that could be utilized to forecast the backpack is 2.27lb

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given in the question that a graph, that shows the residual plot for the least-squares regression of pack weight on body weight for the hikers

02

Explanation

The graphical representation of residual plot is:

We haves=2.27

We compute the error by dividing the actual value by the estimated value.

Driving speed and fuel consumption Exercise 9 (page 159) gives data on the fuel consumption y

of a car at various speeds x. Fuel consumption is measured in liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers

driven and speed is measured in kilometers per hour. A statistical software package gives the least-squares regression line and the residual plot shown below. The regression line is yˆ=11.058− 0.01466x Would it be appropriate to use the regression line to predict y from x? Justify your answer.

In its Fuel Economy Guide for 2008 model vehicles, the Environmental Protection Agency gives data on 1152vehicles. There are a number of outliers, main vehicles with very poor gas mileage. If we ignore the outliers, however, the combined city and highway gas mileage of the other 1120

or so vehicles are approximately Normal with a mean of 18.7miles per gallon (mpg) and a standard deviation of 4.3 mpg.

The top 10%(2.2)How high must a 2008vehicle’s gas mileage be in order to fall in the top 10% of all vehicles? (The distribution omits a few high outliers, mainly hybrid gas-electric vehicles.)

Outsourcing by airlines Airlines have increasingly outsourced the maintenance of their planes to other companies. Critics say that the maintenance may be less carefully done, so that outsourcing creates a safety hazard. As evidence, they point to government data on percent of major maintenance outsourced and percent of flight delays blamed on the airline (often due to maintenance problems): Make a scatterplot by hand that shows how delays relate to outsourcing.

(a) Describe the direction, form, and strength of the relationship between maintenance outsourcing and delays blamed on the airline.

(b) One airline is a high outlier in delay percent. Which airline is this? Aside from the outlier, does the plot show a roughly linear form? Is the relationship very strong?

In my Chevrolet (2.2) The 2008 Chevrolet Malibu with a four-cylinder engine has a combined gas

mileage of 25mpg. What percent of all vehicles have worse gas mileage than the Malibu?

Does social rejection hurt? We often describe our emotional reaction to social rejection as “pain.” Does social rejection cause activity in areas of the brain that are known to be activated by physical pain? If it does, we really do experience social and physical pain in similar ways. Psychologists first included and then deliberately excluded individuals from a social activity while they measured changes in brain activity. After each activity, the subjects filled out questionnaires that assessed how excluded they felt. The table below shows data for 13subjects.7“Social distress” is measured by each subject’s questionnaire score after exclusion relative to the score after inclusion. (So values greater than 1show the degree of distress caused by exclusion.) “Brain activity” is the change in activity in a region of the brain that is activated by physical pain. (So positive values show more pain.)
