Chapter 3: Q.57 (page 193)

57. Bird colonies Refer to Exercises53 and 55 . For the regression you performed earlier, r2=0.56 and s=3.67. Explain what each of these values means in this setting.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The values are expected to differ by about 3.67 from the actual values.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Bird colonies for the regression that performed earlier, r2=0.56and s=3.67.

02

Explanation

Given value: r2=0.56=56%
This suggests that the regression line has clarified around 56%of the variation between the variables.
s=3.67

The scatter plots

Describe the direction of the relationship. Explain why this makes sense

Airlines have increasingly outsourced the maintenance of their planes to other companies. Critics say that the maintenance may be less carefully done so outsourcing creates a safety hazard. As evidence, they point to government data on the percent of major maintenance outsourced and the 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.

In its Fuel Economy Guide for 2008 model vehicles, the Environmental Protection Agency gives data on 1152 vehicles. There are a number of outliers, mainly 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 is approximately Normal with mean 18.7 miles per gallon (mpg) and standard deviation 4.3 mpg.

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?

Strong association but no correlation The gas mileage of an automobile first increases and then decreases as the speed increases. Suppose that this relationship is very regular, as shown by the following data on speed (miles per hour) and mileage (miles per gallon). Make a scatterplot of mileage versus speed.

The correlation between speed and mileage isr=0. Explain why the correlation is 0 even though there is a strong relationship between speed and mileage.
