19. You might think that increasing the resources available would elevate the number of plant spe- cies that an area could support, but the evidence suggests otherwise. The data in the accompany- ing table are from the Park Grass Experiment at Rothamsted Experimental Station in the U.K., where grassland field plots have been fertilized annually for the past 150 years (collated by Harpole and Tilman 2007). The number of plant species recorded in 10 plots is given in response to the number of different nutrient types added Plot 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Number of nutrients added 0 0 0 3144 E2 3 Number of plant species 36 36 32 34 33 30 20 23 21 16

In baseball, two statistics, the ERA (Earned Run Average) and the WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched), are used to measure the quality of pitchers. For both measures, smaller values indicate higher quality. The following computer output gives the results from predicting ERA by using WHIP in a least-squares regression for the 2017 baseball season. Variable DF Estimate SE T Intercept 1 -5.0 0.26 - 19.3 WHIP 1 6.8 0.14 47.4 Which of the following statements is the best interpretation of the value 6.8 shown in the output? ERA is predicted to increase by 6.8 units for each 1 unit increase of WHIP. WHIP is predicted to increase by 6.8 units for each 1 unit increase of ERA. For a pitcher with 0 units of WHIP, the ERA is predicted to be approximately 6.8 units. For a pitcher with 0 units of ERA, the WHIP is predicted to be approximately 6.8 units. Approximately 6.8% of the variability in ERA is due to its linear relationship with WHIP.

The data show the chest size and weight of several bears. Find the regression equation, letting chest size be the independent (x) variable. Then find the best predicted weight of a bear with a chest size of 40 inches. Is the result close to the actual weight of 352 pounds? Use a significance level of 0.05.

A cafe company wants to determine how the money they spend on Google ads impacts their monthly revenue. Over 6 consecutive months, they vary the amount they spend on their Ads (in $) and record the associated revenue (in $) for each month. The data is shown below: l Revenue 50 427 75 472 100 467 125 529 150 518 175 543 A) Develop a regression equation for predicting monthly revenue based on the amount spent with Ads. What is the y-intercept?  B) What is the sample correlation between these two variables? C) What is the slope of your regression equation? Give your answer to two decimal places. D) Using a 0.05 level of significance, does this regression equation appear to have any value for predicting revenue based on Ads?

Report the equation of the regression line and interpret it in the context of the problem

Draw a graph of the least-squares regression line on your scatterplot. (For hand-drawing, round the slope and y-intercept to one decimal place before drawing the line.) Be sure to show how you were able to plot the line starting with its equation.
