Question
The heights (y) and lengths of forearms (x) were measured in inches for a sample of men. The following summary statistics were obtained:
x= 10.1 Sx=0.8 y= 70.1 Sy=2.5 r=0.81
a. Compute the least- squares regresson line for predicting height from forearm length.
b. Joe's forearm is 1 inch longer than Sam's. How much taller than Sam do you predict Joe to be?
c. Predict the height of a man whose forearm is 9.5 inches long.

- C6. The GSS 2014 asked respondents to identify what was important for "truly bemg American." When asked "How important to have American ancestry?" answers were measured on a 4-point scale: 1 = very important, 2 = fairly important, 3 = 1ot important, and 4 = not important at all. We selected a sample of 20 GSS respondents and present their individual responses.

To support its assertion, the company randomly selects 49 1991 G-cars and records the mileage obtained for each car over a driving course similar to that used to obtain the estimate. The following data resulted: x = 36.5 miles per gallon, s = 7 miles per gallon. %3D a. Find the observed significance level for testing Ho: u= 35 vs. Ha: u> 35. %3D b. For what value of significance level a, you will reject the null hypothesis.arrow_forwardJustin wants to know whether a commonly prescribed drug does improve the attention span of students with attention deficit disorder (ADD). He knows that the mean attention span for students with ADD who are not taking the drug is 2.3 minutes long. His sample of 12 students taking the drug yielded a mean of 4.6 minutes. Justin can find no information regarding σx , so he calculated s2x =1.96. a. Identify the independent and dependent variables. b. In a sentence, state the null hypothesis being tested. c. Using symbols, state the null and alternative hypotheses. d. Determine the critical region using a one-tailed test with alpha = .05. e .Conduct the hypothesis test (Do the math and compare the t-critical and t-obtained values). f. State your conclusions in terms of H0 (Should you reject the H0 or fail to reject/accept the H0). g. Based on your analysis, is there a relationship between the drug and attention span?arrow_forward
