Question
Let x be a random variable that represents the batting average of a professional baseball player. Let y be a random variable that represents the percentage of strikeouts of a professional baseball player. A random sample of n = 6 professional baseball players gave the following information.
x | 0.318 | 0.272 | 0.340 | 0.248 | 0.367 | 0.269 |
y | 3.4 | 8.0 | 4.0 | 8.6 | 3.1 | 11.1 |
Σx = 1.814, Σy = 38.2, Σx2 = 0.559262, Σy2 = 298.34, Σxy = 10.8736, and r ≈ -0.874.
(e) Find a 95% confidence interval for y when x = 0.35. (Use 2 decimal places.)
