Arm circumferences (cm) and heights (cm) are measured from randomly selected adult females. The 142 pairs of measurements yield x=32.14cm, y=163.36cm, r=.084, P value=.32 and y=160+.111x. Find the best predicted value of y (height) given an adult female with an arm circumference of 40cm. Let the predictor variable x be arm circumference and the response variable y be height. Use a .05 significance level.
According to shopper data, 97% of households purchase toilet paper. An analyst believes this is too low. To investigate, the analyst selects a random sample of 500 households and finds that 98% of them purchase toilet paper. Do these data provide convincing statistical evidence at the α = 0.05 level to conclude that the true proportion of all households that purchase toilet paper differs from 0.97?
Complete the “State” step for this test.
