4. Predicting Re-Election Margin

Data has been introduced on the approval rating of an incumbent US president and the margin of victory or defeat in the subsequent election (where negative numbers indicate the margin by which the incumbent president lost the re-election campaign). The data are reproduced in the table below and are available in ElectionMargin.


Approval 62 50 70 67 57 48 31 57 39 55 49 50
Margin 10.0 4.5 15.4 22.6 23.2 -2.1 -9.7 18.2 -5.5 8.5 2.4 3.9

Table 1 Presidential approval rating and margin of victory or defeat



Computer output for summary statistics for the two variables and for a regression model to predict the margin of victory or defeat from the approval rating is shown:


Variable N Mean StDev
Approval 12 52.92 11.04
Margin 12 7.62 10.72
-------------------------
The regression equation is  Margin=-36.76+0.839⁢ Approval
Term Coef SE Coef T P
Constant -36.76 8.34 -4.41 0.001
Approval 0.839 0.155 5.43 0.000
S=5.66054 R-Sq=74.64% R-Sq(adj)=72.10%
Analysis of Variance

Regression 1 943.0 943.04 29.43 0.000
Residual Error 10 320.4 32.04    
Total 11 1263.5      


Use values from this output to calculate the following.

 

(c) A 90% confidence interval for the mean margin of victory if we have no information about the approval rating. Round your answers to two decimal places. (Note: the answer is not -51.87 to -21.65)
