Chapter 15.2, Problem 51E
In Exercises 15.48–15.57, we repeat the information from Exercises 15.12–15.21.
- a. Decide, at the 10% significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that x is useful for predicting y.
- b. Find a 90% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line.

Regression and Predictions. Exercises 13–28 use the same data sets as Exercises 13–28 in Section 10-1. In each case, find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the predictor (x) variable. Find the indicated predicted value by following the prediction procedure summarized in Figure 10-5 on page 493.
Oscars Using the listed actress/actor ages, find the best predicted age of the Best Actor given that the age of the Best Actress is 54 years. Is the result reasonably close to the Best Actor’s (Eddie Redmayne) actual age of 33 years, which happened in 2015, when the Best Actress was Julianne Moore, who was 54 years of age?
Regression and Predictions. Exercises 13–28 use the same data sets as Exercises 13–28 in Section 10-1. In each case, find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the predictor (x) variable. Find the indicated predicted value by following the prediction procedure summarized in Figure 10-5 on page 493.
Internet and Nobel Laureates Find the best predicted Nobel Laureate rate for Japan, which has 79.1 Internet users per 100 people. How does it compare to Japan’s Nobel Laureate rate of 1.5 per 10 million people?
Making Predictions. In Exercises 5–8, let the predictor variable x be the first variable given. Use the given data to find the regression equation and the best predicted value of the response variable. Be sure to follow the prediction procedure summarized in Figure 10-5 on page 493. Use a 0.05 significance level.
Bear Measurements Head widths (in.) and weights (lb) were measured for 20 randomly selected bears (from Data Set 9 “Bear Measurements” in Appendix B). The 20 pairs of measurements yield x = 6.9 in., ȳ = 214.3 lb, r = 0.879, P -value = 0.000, and ŷ = −212 + 61.9x. Find the best predicted value of ŷ (weight) given a bear with a head width of 6.5 in.
