scatter diagram displaying the data. - (b) Verify the given sums ∑x, ∑y, ∑x2, ∑y2, and ∑xy and the value of the sample
correlation coefficient r. - (c) Find
- (d) Graph the least-squares line on your scatter diagram. Be sure to use the point

8. Ranching: Cattle You are the foreman of the Bar-S cattle ranch in Colorado. A neighboring ranch has calves for sale, and you are going to buy some to add to the Bar-S herd. How much should a healthy calf weigh? Let x be the age of the calf (in weeks), and let y be the weight of the calf (in kilograms). The following information is based on data taken from The Merck Veterinary Manual (a reference used by many ranchers).
Complete parts (a) through (e), given ∑x = 92, ∑y = 617, ∑x2 = 2338, ∑y2 = 82,389, ∑xy = 13,642, and r ≈ 0.998.
- (f) The calves you want to buy are 12 weeks old. What does the least-squares line predict for a healthy weight?

A world wide fast food chain decided to carry out an experiment to assess the influence of income on number of visits to their restaurants or vice versa. A sample of households was asked about the number of times they visit a fast food restaurant (X) during last month as well as their monthly income (Y). The data presented in the following table are the sums and sum of squares. (use 2 digits after decimal point)
∑ Y = 393
∑ Y2 = 21027
∑ ( Y-Ybar )2 = SSY = 1720.88
∑ X = 324
∑ X2 = 14272

The data in Table 7–6 were collected in a clinical trial to evaluate a new compound designed to improve wound healing in trauma patients. The new compound was com- pared against a placebo. After treatment for 5 days with the new compound or placebo, the extent of wound heal- ing was measured. Is there a difference in the extent of wound healing between the treatments? (Hint: Are treat- ment and the percent wound healing independent?) Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance. Can you please show how to do it in excel.

- Homicide and suicide are both intentional means of ending a life. However, the reason for committing a homicide is different from that for suicide and we might expect homicide and suicide rates to be uncorrelated. On the other hand, both can involve some degree of violence, so perhaps we might expect some level of correlation in the rates. The data from 2008–2011 for 26 counties in Ohio are shown in the table. Rates are per 100,000 people. (a) Make a scatterplot that shows how suicide rate can be predicted from homicide rate. There is a weak linear relationship, with correlation ?=0.17. Each of the scatterplots in the choices has a relationship fitted to the plot. Select the plot that corresponds with the correlation of 0.17.
