The value of
The value of
The value of a is 43.326.
The value of b is –0.6007.
The equation of the least-squares line is
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
From part (b), the values are
The value of
Hence, the value of
The value of
Hence, the value of
The value of b is,
Hence, the value of b is –0.6007.
The value of a is,
Hence, the value of a is 43.326.
The equation of the least-squares line is,
Hence, the equation of the least-squares line is
(d)

Locate the point
(d)
Answer to Problem 9P
The scatter diagram with least squares line with point
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
In the dataset of eight weights and miles per gallon also include the point
Step by step procedure to obtain scatter plot using MINITAB software is given below:
- Choose Graph > Scatterplot.
- Choose With regression. Click OK.
- In Y variables, enter the column of x.
- In X variables, enter the column of y.
- Click OK.
(e)
Find the value of the coefficient of determination
Mention percentage of the variation in y that can be explained by variation in x.
Mention percentage of the variation in y that cannot be explained by variation in x.
(e)
Answer to Problem 9P
The value of the coefficient of determination
The percentage of the variation in y that can be explained by variation in x is 89.4%.
The percentage of the variation in y that cannot be explained by variation in x is 10.6%.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Coefficient of determination
The coefficient of determination
From part (b), the value of
Hence, the value of the coefficient of determination
About 89.4% of the variation in y (miles per gallon (mpg)) is explained by x (weight of the car (in hundreds of pounds)). Since the value of
Hence, the percentage of the variation in y that can be explained by variation in x is 89.4%.
About 10.6%
Hence, the percentage of the variation in y that cannot be explained by variation in x is 10.6%.
(f)

(f)
Answer to Problem 9P
The number of miles per gallon for car weight
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
From part (c), the equation of the least-squares line is
Substitute
Hence, the number of miles per gallon for car weight

- Suppose Laura, a facilities manager at a health and wellness company, wants to estimate the difference in the average amount of time that men and women spend at the company's fitness centers each week. Laura randomly selects 15 adult male fitness center members from the membership database and then selects 15 adult female members from the database. Laura gathers data from the past month containing logged time at the fitness center for these members. She plans to use the data to estimate the difference in the time men and women spend per week at the fitness center. The sample statistics are summarized in the table.
