Find the new data point (x,y) in which x=2 from the data points (1,3) and (4,12)
Which of the scatter diagrams below suggests a strong positive linear relationship between the x and y variables?
An agricultural field trial compares the yield of two varieties of corn. The researchers divide in half each of 9 fields of land in different locations and plant each corn variety in one half of each plot. After harvest, the yields are compared in bushels per acre at each location. The 9 differences (Variety A - Variety B) give x¯=3.35x¯=3.35 and s=4.61s=4.61. Does this sample provide evidence that Variety A had a higher yield than Variety B?
(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses: (Type "mu" for the symbol μμ , e.g. mu >> 1 for the mean is greater than 1, mu << 1 for the mean is less than 1, mu not = 1 for the mean is not equal to 1)H0H0 : HaHa :

- A farmer would like to investigate the relationship between the obtained yield of apple trees and the amount of weeds found in their roots. For this reason, nine apple trees of the same type were randomly selected and the amount of weeds in their roots (x grams) was recorded together with their yield (y kilograms). Year #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 Weeds in roots (x) 30 28 32 25 25 24 22 24 35 40 Yield (y) 25 30 27 40 42 41 50 45 30 25 Draw a scatter diagram of these data. Label the diagram carefully. Calculate the sample correlation coefficient. Interpret your findings. Calculate the least squares line of y on x and draw the line on the scatter diagram. Based on the regression equation in part (iii.), what will be the predicted yield of apple for a tree with 37 grams of weeds in its roots? Will you trust this value? Justify your answer.

The manager of the company wants to know how different variables affect the sales of his vehicles. A random sample of yearly data was taken with the view to testing the model: SALES=�+�AGE+�MIL+�ENG Where SALES= amount that a vehicle is sold for($000’s), AGE = age of the vehicle, MIL= the total mileage of the vehicle at the point of sale and ENG = the size of the engine.

- An agricultural field trial compares the yield of two varieties of corn. The researchers divide in half each of 8 fields of land in different locations and plant each corn variety in one half of each plot. After harvest, the yields are compared in bushels per acre at each location. The 8 differences (Variety A - Variety B) give x¯=3.07 and s=5.11.
