Question

You are the foreman of the Bar-S cattle ranch in Colorado. A neighboring ranch has calves for sale, and you are going to buy some calves to add to the Bar-S herd. How much should a healthy calf weigh? Let x be the age of the calf (in weeks), and let y be the weight of the calf (in kilograms).

x 3 3 12 16 26 36
y 42 50 71 100 150 200

Complete parts (a) through (e), given Σx = 96, Σy = 613, Σx2 = 2390, Σy2 = 81,805, Σxy = 13,828, and r ≈ 0.993.

(a) Draw a scatter diagram displaying the data.

(b) Verify the given sums Σx, Σy, Σx2, Σy2, Σxy, and the value of the sample correlation coefficient r. (Round your value for r to three decimal places.)
Σx =  
Σy =

(c) Find x, and y. Then find the equation of the least-squares line  = a + bx. (Round your answers for x and y to two decimal places. Round your answers for a and b to three decimal places.)
x =  
y =  
  =   +   x
 
(d) Graph the least-squares line. Be sure to plot the point (x, y) as a point on the line.
   
   

(e) Find the value of the coefficient of determination r2. What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line? What percentage is unexplained? (Round your answer for r2 to three decimal places. Round your answers for the percentages to one decimal place.)
r2 =  
explained       %
unexplained      %
 
(f) The calves you want to buy are 21 weeks old. What does the least-squares line predict for a healthy weight? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
  kg
 
 
 
 
2.Do heavier cars really use more gasoline? Suppose a car is chosen at random. Let x be the weight of the car (in hundreds of pounds), and let y be the miles per gallon (mpg).
x 27 43 32 47 23 40 34 52
y 29 22 22 13 29 17 21 14
Complete parts (a) through (e), given Σx = 298, Σy = 167, Σx2 = 11,800, Σy2 = 3745, Σxy = 5833, and 
r ≈ −0.911.

3.It is thought that basketball teams that make too many fouls in a game tend to lose the game even if they otherwise play well. Let x be the number of fouls more than (i.e., over and above) the opposing team. Let y be the percentage of times the team with the larger number of fouls wins the game.
x 1 4 5 6
y 51 44 33 26
Complete parts (a) through (e), given Σx = 16, Σy = 154, Σx2 = 78, Σy2 = 6302, Σxy = 548, and 
r ≈ −0.941.
