Chapter 15.2, Problem 61E
In Exercises 15.58–15.63, we repeat the information from Exercises 15.22–15.27. Presuming that the assumptions for regression inferences are met, decide at the specified significance level whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the predictor variable is useful for predicting the response variable.
15.61 Plant Emissions. Following are the data on plant weight and quantity of volatile emissions from Exercise 15.25. Use α = 0.05.

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?
A prospective cohort study is run to estimate the incidence of stroke in persons 55 years of age and older. All participants are free of stroke at study start. Each participant is followed for a maximum of 5 years. The data are summarized in Table 3–14.

A researcher is conducting a study to examine the relationship between age and agility. She recruited a sample of 50 participants, ranging in age from 20 – 65 years old, and asked them to perform a series of agility tests. Afterward, participants were given an average agility score, which was then used in a correlation analysis against participant age. The results of the study are as follows [r(50) = -0.97, p < 0.001]. Identify the correct interpretation below.
A. There is a non-significant, weak, negative correlation between age and agility, suggest that as age increases, agility decreases
B. There is a statistically significant, strong, negative correlation between age and agility, suggesting that as age increases, agility decreases
C. There is a non-significant, moderate, positive correlation between age and agility, suggesting that there is no relationship between these two variables
D. There is a statistically significant, strong positive correlation between age and…
