Hematology
The data in Table 11.17 are given for 9 patients with aplastic anemia [11].
Fit a regression line relating the percentage of reticulocytes (x) to the number of lymphocytes (y).
TABLE 11.17 Hematologic data for patients with aplastic anemia
Compute the regression line relating percentage of reticulocytes and number of lymphocytes.
Answer to Problem 1P
The regression line is
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The sum of squares and products can be calculated as follows:
3.6 | 1700 | 12.96 | 2890000 | 6120 |
2.0 | 3078 | 4.00 | 9474084 | 6156 |
0.3 | 1820 | 0.09 | 3312400 | 546 |
0.3 | 2706 | 0.09 | 7322436 | 811.8 |

3.0 | 2299 | 9.00 | 5285401 | 6897 |
0.0 | 676 | 0.00 | 456976 | 0 |
1.0 | 2088 | 1.00 | 4359744 | 2088 |
2.2 | 2013 | 4.84 | 4052169 | 4428.6 |
The slope can be calculated as follows:
The intercept can be calculated as follows:
The regression line is given as follows:
Thus, the regression line is

- Respiratory Rate Researchers have found that the 95 th percentile the value at which 95% of the data are at or below for respiratory rates in breath per minute during the first 3 years of infancy are given by y=101.82411-0.0125995x+0.00013401x2 for awake infants and y=101.72858-0.0139928x+0.00017646x2 for sleeping infants, where x is the age in months. Source: Pediatrics. a. What is the domain for each function? b. For each respiratory rate, is the rate decreasing or increasing over the first 3 years of life? Hint: Is the graph of the quadratic in the exponent opening upward or downward? Where is the vertex? c. Verify your answer to part b using a graphing calculator. d. For a 1- year-old infant in the 95 th percentile, how much higher is the walking respiratory rate then the sleeping respiratory rate? e. f.arrow_forwardLife Expectancy The following table shows the average life expectancy, in years, of a child born in the given year42 Life expectancy 2005 77.6 2007 78.1 2009 78.5 2011 78.7 2013 78.8 a. Find the equation of the regression line, and explain the meaning of its slope. b. Plot the data points and the regression line. c. Explain in practical terms the meaning of the slope of the regression line. d. Based on the trend of the regression line, what do you predict as the life expectancy of a child born in 2019? e.
