Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Statement
**(b)** Verify the given sums \(\sum x\), \(\sum y\), \(\sum x^2\), \(\sum y^2\), \(\sum xy\), and the value of the sample correlation coefficient \(r\). (For each answer, enter a number. Round your value for \(r\) to three decimal places.)
- \(\sum x =\) \_\_\_\_\_
- \(\sum y =\) \_\_\_\_\_
- \(\sum x^2 =\) \_\_\_\_\_
- \(\sum y^2 =\) \_\_\_\_\_
- \(\sum xy =\) \_\_\_\_\_
- \(r =\) \_\_\_\_\_
**(c)** Find \(\bar{x}\) and \(\bar{y}\). Then find the equation of the least-squares line \(\hat{y} = a + bx\). (For each answer, enter a number. Round your answers for \(\bar{x}\) and \(\bar{y}\) to two decimal places. Round your answers for \(a\) and \(b\) to three decimal places.)
- \(\bar{x} =\) \_\_\_\_\_
- \(\bar{y} =\) \_\_\_\_\_
- \(\hat{y} =\) \_\_\_\_\_ + \_\_\_\_\_ \(x\)
**(d)** Graph the least-squares line. Be sure to plot the point \((\bar{x}, \bar{y})\) as a point on the line. (Select the correct graph.)
**Graphs Explanation:**
Two choices labeled "Choice A" and "Choice B" are provided:
- **Choice A:** A graph with axes labeled \(y\) ranging from 0 to 200. It potentially shows a line which seems to be a candidate for the least-squares line.
- **Choice B:** Another graph similarly labeled with axes, showing a different potential line for the least-squares method.
The correct graph should include the plotted point \((\bar{x}, \bar{y})\) on the line.

You are the foreman of the Bar-S cattle ranch in Colorado. A neighboring ranch has calves for sale, and you are considering purchasing some to add to the Bar-S herd. A fundamental aspect you are investigating is the relationship between age and weight in these calves. Specifically, how much should a healthy calf weigh at different ages?
#### Data Overview
The age (\(x\)) and weight (\(y\)) data for the calves is as follows:
| Age (weeks) \(x\) | Weight (kg) \(y\) |
|-------------------|-------------------|
| 1 | 39 |
| 5 | 47 |
| 11 | 73 |
| 16 | 100 |
| 26 | 150 |
| 36 | 200 |
#### Statistical Summary
- Sum of ages: \(\sum x = 95\)
- Sum of weights: \(\sum y = 609\)
- Sum of ages squared: \(\sum x^2 = 2375\)
- Sum of weights squared: \(\sum y^2 = 81,559\)
- Sum of products of ages and weights: \(\sum x y = 13,777\)
- Correlation coefficient: \(r \approx 0.997\)
#### Graphical Representation
To visualize the relationship between age and weight, examine the scatter plot diagrams. Choose the correct graph from the options shown:
- **Choice A:** Displays a scatter plot with a cluttered data pattern.
- **Choice B:** Portrays a clear linear relationship with increasing age associated with increasing weight.
- **Choice C and D:** Demonstrate scattered data with less apparent trends.
The scatter plot in **Choice B** accurately represents the data: as the age of calves increases, their weight also increases in a roughly linear pattern. This positive correlation is confirmed by a correlation coefficient (\(r\)) very close to 1, indicating a strong linear relationship.
#### Conclusion
Understanding these data patterns helps in determining growth expectations for the calves, guiding the decision on which ones to purchase for optimal growth of the herd at Bar-S Ranch.
