Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

For transformation 1 :

Thus, the general equation of the regression equation is as:

P^ressure=a+b×1Volume

Thus, the value of the slope and the constant is given in the computer output as:

a=0.36774

b=15.8994

Thus, the regression equation is as follows:

Thus, the regression equation is as follows:

1P^ressure=a+b×Volume1P^ressure=-0.15465+0.042836×Volume

1P^ressure=a+b×Volume

1P^ressure=-0.15465+0.042836×Volume

1P^ressure=-0.15465+0.042836×17

1P^ressure=0.7769723

P^ressure=10.7769723

P^ressure=1.287

For transformation 1:

Thus, the regression equation is as follows:

localid="1650605513602" P^ressure=a+b×1Volume

P^ressure=0.36774+15.8994×1Volume

And the value of sis given as,

s=0.044205

This means that the expected error from the prediction of the pressure is 0.044205.

Part (c) Step 9: Explanation

For transformation 2 :

Thus, the regression equation is as follows:

1P^ressure=a+b×Volume

1P^ressure=-0.15465+0.042836×Volume

And the value of sis given as,

s=0.00398119

This means that the expected error from the prediction of the reciprocal of the pressure is 0.00398119.

Random assignment is part of a well-designed comparative experiment because

(a) It is more fair to the subjects.

(b) It helps create roughly equivalent groups before treatments are imposed on the subjects.

(c) It allows researchers to generalize the results of their experiment to a larger population.

(d) It helps eliminate any possibility of bias in the experiment.

(e) It prevents the placebo effect from occurring

Insurance adjusters are always vigilant about being overcharged for accident repairs. The adjusters suspect that Repair Shop 1quotes higher estimates than Repair Shop 2. To check their suspicion,

the adjusters randomly select 12cars that were recently involved in an accident and then take each of the cars to both repair shops to obtain separate estimates of the cost to fix the vehicle. The

estimates are given below in hundreds of dollars.


Assuming that the conditions for inference are reasonably met, which of the following significance tests could legitimately be used to determine whether the adjusters’ suspicion is correct?

I. A paired ttest

II. A two-sample ttest

III. A t test to see if the slope of the population regression line is 0.

(a) I only

(b) II only

(c) I and III

(d) II and III

(e) I, II, and III

Boyle’s law If you have taken a chemistry class, then you are probably familiar with Boyle’s law: for gas in a confined space kept at a constant temperature, pressure times volume is a constant (in symbols, PV=k). Students collected the following data on pressure and volume using a syringe and a pressure probe.

(a) Make a reasonably accurate scatterplot of the data by hand using volume as the explanatory variable.

Describe what you see.

(b) If the true relationship between the pressure and volume of the gas is PV=k, we can divide both sides of this equation by Vto obtain the theoretical model P=k/V, or P=k(1/V). Use the graph below to identify the transformation that was used to linearize the curved pattern in part (a).

(c) Use the graph below to identify the transformation that was used to linearize the curved pattern in part (a).

An experimenter wishes to test whether or not two types of fish food (a standard fish food and a new product) work equally well at producing fish of equal weight after a two-month feeding program. The experimenter has two identical fish tanks (1 and 2) to put fish in and is considering how to assign 40fish, each of which has a numbered tag, to the tanks. The best way to do this would be to

(a) put all the odd-numbered fish in one tank, the even in the other, and give the standard food type to the odd-numbered ones.

(b) obtain pairs of fish whose weights are virtually equal at the start of the experiment and randomly assign one to Tank 1 and the other to Tank2, with the feed assigned at random to the tanks.

(c) proceed as in part (b), but put the heavier of the pair into Tank2.

(d) assign the fish at random to the two tanks and give the standard feed to Tank1.

(e) not proceed as in part (b) because using the initial weight in part (b) is a nonrandom process. Use the initial length of the fish instead.

Paired tires Exercise 69 in Chapter 8 (page 519 ) compared two methods for estimating tire wear. The first method used the amount of weight lost by a tire. The second method used the amount of wear in the grooves of the tire. A random sample of 16 tires was obtained. Both methods were used to estimate the total distance traveled by each tire. The scatterplot below displays the two estimates (in thousands of miles) for each tire.

Computer output from a least-squares regression analysis of these data is shown below. Assume that the conditions for regression inference are met.

(a) Verify that the 99% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line is (0.5785,1.001).

(b) Researchers want to test whether there is a difference between the two methods of estimating tire wear.

Explain why an appropriate pair of hypotheses for this test isH0:β=1versusHa:β1

(c) What conclusion would you draw for this significance test based on your interval in part (a)? Justify your answer.
