Recycle and Review Exercises 29-31 refer to the following setting. Does the color in which words are printed affect your ability to read them? Do the words themselves affect your ability to name the color in which they are printed? Mr. Starnes designed a study to investigate these questions using the 16 students in his AP Statistics class as subjects. Each student performed the following two tasks in random order while a partner timed his or her performance: (1) Read 32words aloud as quickly as possible, and (2) say the color in which each of 32words is printed as quickly as possible. Try both tasks for yourself using the word list given.

Color words (3.1, 3.2, 12.1) Can we use a student's ward task time to predict his or her color task lime?

a. Make an appropriate scatterplot to help answer this question. Describe what you see.

b. Use technology to find the equation of the least-squares regression line. Define any variables you use,

c. Find and interpret the residual for the student who completed the word tack in 4 seconds.

d. Assume that the conditions for performing Inference about the slope of the true regression line are met. The pvalue for a test of H0:β1=0versus Hα:β1&gt:0.Hαβ1>0is0.0215interpret this value.

Note: John Ridley stroop is often credited with the discovery in 1535 of the fae that the caler in which "color words" are printed interferes with people's ability to identify the color. The paper outlining the so-called Stoop effect, though, was originally published by Geman researchers in 1929 .

Short Answer

(a)

(b) The equation of the least-squares regression line is y^=4.887+1.132x

(c) Residual=-2.075

(d) The P-value represents the probability of the test statistical value being correct.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information 

Given table is

we have to make an appropriate scatterplot to help answer this question

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation  

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information  

Given table is

we have to find the equation of the least-squares regression line

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation  

The formulas are

a=Y·X2-x·XYn·X2-x2

b=n.XY-Y·Xn·X2-x2

a & b values can be computed as

a=Y·X2-x·XYn·X2-x2=308.2665-203.400916.2665-2032=4.887

a=n.XY-Y·Xn·X2-x2=16.4009-203.30816.2665-2032=1.132

Therefore the least square regression equation is

y^=4.887+1.132x

05

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information  

Given that

x=9

y=13

we have to find the residual value.

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation  

From part (b)

y^=4.887+1.132x

putitng 9ofthex

y^=4.887+1.1329=15.075

Residual valuey-y^

13-15.075=-2.075

07

Part (d) Step 1: Given Information  

Given in the question that

H0:β=0

Hα:β>0

P=2.15%

We have to explain the P value.

08

Part (d) Step 2: Explanation  

The probability that the test statistical value is correct is represented by the P-value. A value that is more extreme if the null hypothesis is true. If the population regression is zero, the chances of obtaining an extreme (slope-wise) sample that is similar to the sample provided are2.15

Tattoos: What per cent of U.S. adults have one or more tattoos? The Harris Poll conducted an online survey of 2302adults and found 29% of respondents had at least 1 tattoo. According to the published report, “Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in Harris Interactive surveys.” Explain why it would not be appropriate to use these data to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all U.S. adults who have tattoos.

When Mentos are dropped into a newly opened bottle of Diet Coke, carbon dioxide is released from the Diet Coke very rapidly, causing the Diet Coke to be expelled from the bottle. To see if using more Mentos causes more Diet Coke to be expelled, Brittany and Allie used twenty-four 2-cup bottles of Diet Coke and randomly assigned each bottle to receive either 2,3,4,or5Mentos. After waiting for the fizzing to stop, they measured the amount expelled (in cups) by subtracting the amount remaining from the original amount in the bottle. Here are their data:

Here is the computer output from a least-squares regression analysis of these data. Construct and interpret a 95%confidence interval for the slope of the true regression line.

The school board in a certain school district obtained a random sample of 200residents and asked if they were in favor of raising property taxes to fund the hiring of more statistics teachers. The resulting confidence interval for the true proportion of residents in favor of raising taxes was (0.183,0.257). Which of the following is the margin of error for this confidence interval?

a. 0.037

b. 0.074

c. 0.183

d. 0.220

e.0.257

Boyle’s law Refers to Exercise 34. We took the logarithm (base 10) of the values for both volume and pressure. Here is some computer output from a linear regression analysis of the transformed data.


a. Based on the output, explain why it would be reasonable to use a power model to describe the relationship between pressure and volume.

b. Give the equation of the least-squares regression line. Be sure to define any variables you use.

c. Use the model from part (b) to predict the pressure in the syringe when the volume is 17cubic centimeters.

Prey attracts predators Here is one way in which nature regulates the size of animal populations: high population density attracts predators, which remove a higher proportion of the population than when the density of the prey is low. One study looked at kelp perch and their common predator, the kelp bass. On each of four occasions, the researcher set up four large circular pens on sandy ocean bottoms off the coast of southern California. He randomly assigned young perch to 1of 4pens so that one pen had 10perch, one pen had 20perch, one pen had 40perch, and the final pen had 60perch. Then he dropped the nets protecting the pens, allowing bass to swarm in, and counted the number of perch killed after two hours. A regression analysis was performed on the16 data points using x=number of perch in pen and y=proportion of perch killed. Here is a residual plot and a histogram of the residuals. Check whether the conditions for performing inference about the regression model are met.


Here is computer output from the least-squares regression analysis of the perch data.

a. Find the critical value for a 90%confidence interval for the slope of the true regression line. Then calculate the confidence interval.

b. Interpret the interval from part (a).

c. Explain the meaning of “90% confident” in this context.
