Assume that there is a positive linear correlation between the variable R (return rate in percent of a financial investment) and the variable t (age in years of the investment) given by the regression equation R = 2.3t + 4.8. Without further information, can we assume there is a cause-and-effect relationship between the return rate and the age of the investment?   If the investment continues to grow at a constant rate, what is the expected return rate when the investment is 7 years old?   If the investment continues to grow at a constant rate, how old is the investment when the return rate is 30%?

The police chief believes that maintenance costs on high-mileage police vehicles are much higher than those costs for low-mileage vehicles.  If high-mileage vehicles are costing too much, it may be more economical to purchase more vehicles.  An analyst in the department regresses yearly maintenance costs (Y) for a sample of 200 police vehicles on each vehicle’s total mileage for the year (X). The regression equation finds: Y = $50 + .030X with a r2 of .90 What is the IV? What is the DV? If the mileage increases by one mile, what is the predicted increase in maintenance costs?  If a vehicle’s mileage for the year is 50,000, what is its predicted maintenance costs? What does an r2 of .90 tell us? Is this a strong or weak correlation? How can you tell?

The age and height (in cm) of 400 adult women from Bolivia were measured. A researcher wants to know if age has any effect on height. A linear regression is carried out in Minitab and the following output obtained. Coefficients Term Constant Age (a) Write down the regression model. (b) Interpret the regression coefficient for the fitted model. (c) Use the output from Minitab to explain if the age of a participant affects their height. Percent (d) The normal probability plot of the residuals from this regression model is given below. Do the assumptions of the regression model seem reasonable?

The table below shows the amounts of crude oil (in thousands of barrels per day) produced by a country and the amounts of crude oil (in thousands of barrels per day) imported by a country, for the last 7 years. Construct and interpret a 98% prediction interval for the amount of oil imported by the country and the amount of oil produced by the country is 5,483 thousand barrels per day. The equation of the regression line is y = -1.194x + 16,234.906

The data shown below are the initial weights and gains in weight (in grams) of female rats on a high protein diet from 24 to 84 days of age. The point of interest in these data is whether the gain in weight is related to (dependent on) the initial weight. If so, then feeding experiments on female rats can be made more precise by adjusting for differences in initial weights of the rats. Statistically test this with a regression analysis.   Rat Number Initial Weight (gms) Weight Gain (gms) 1 50 128 2 64 159 3 76 158 4 64 119 5 74 133 6 60 112 7 69 96 8 68 126 9 56 132 10 48 118 11 57 107 12 59 106 13 46 82 14 45 103 15 65 104 I used excel's regression took pak and got the following:  SUMMARY OUTPUT                                 Regression Statistics               Multiple R 0.489416452               R Square 0.239528464               Adjusted R Square 0.181030653               Standard Error 8.869929833               Observations 15…

A study of king penguins looked for a relationship between how deep the penguins dive to seek food and how long they stay underwater. For all but the shallowest dives, there is a linear relationship that is different for different penguins. The study report gives a scatterplot for one penguin titled " The relation of dive duration (DD) to depth (D)." Duration DD is measured in minutes and depth D is in meters. The report then says, " The regression equation for this bird is: DD = 2.3 + 0.0021 D. %3D (a) What is the slope of the regression line?. ANSWER minutes per meter. (b) According to the regression line, how long does a typical dive to a depth of 400 meters last? ANSWER minutes.

Data was gathered from a random sample of young mothers between the ages of 15 and 19 years, and the relationship between the mother's age (measured in years) and the baby's birth weight (measured in grams) was observed to be linear, with r= 0.88. Further, the regression equation to predict a baby's birth welght based on the mother's age was found to be: Predicted birth weight = -1163.45 + 245.15(age). Based on this information, which one of the following statements is incorrect? O The predicted birth weight for a baby whose mother is 15 years old is 4840.7 grams. O If weight was measured in pounds instead of grams, the value of rwould still be 0.88. O If we switch the variables so that age is the response variable and birth weight is the explanatory variable, r would still be 0,88. O If a mother's age is 25 years, we would not want to use the regression equation to predict the baby's birth weight since this would be considered extrapolation. O Becauseris 0.88, we would consider the…

. You have performed a linear regression analysis to explore sunflowers’ growth (in meters per month)depending on the watering (in litres per day). You have estimated the regression coefficient to be βˆ = 1.6. Whatcan you conclude?a) There is a significant correlation between watering and growth.b) An average sunflower growths 1.6 meters per month.c) If you give it an additional litre of water per day, there will be an additional average growth of 1.6 meters permonth.d) According to the model assumptions, an additional litre of water per day will result in additional 19.2 metersof growth after one year.e) You should consider further influencing quantities.
