For the data above perform the following:
1) Estimate the intercept and the slope write the regression line
2) Compute the residuals
3) Compute SSE and estimate the variance
4) Find the Standard error of the slope and intercept coefficients
5) Compute the coefficient of determination R2
6) Use a t-test to test the significance of the slope coefficient at a =0.05. Give p-value
and comment on your results
7) Construct the ANOVA table and test for significance of regression using p-value.
Comment your results and relationship to your results on (f)
8) Construct a 95% CI for the slope. Comment on the relationship of these CI's and
your findings in parts (f) and (g).

- Chlorophylls a and b are plant pigments that absorb sunlight and transfer the energy into photosynthesis of carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O, releasing O2 in the process. Chlorophylls were extracted from chopped up grass and measured by spectrophotometry. The table shows results for chlorophyll a for four separate analysis of five blades of grass.

Differences between mean values for each of the five blades of grass are a measure of variation due to sampling (ssampling). Using Excel and it’s ANOVA function, find the standard deviations attributable to sampling and to analysis, as well as the overall standard deviation arising from both sources.arrow_forwardLaetisaric acid is a compound that holds promise for control of fungus diseases in crop plants.

State the linear regression equation, and with a 0.01 level of significance, predict the amount (in mm) of fungus growth when 25 uG/mL laetisaric acid is applied. Assume the pairs of data follow a bivariate normal distribution and that the scatterplot shows no evidence of a non-linear relationship in the data. b. Determine the percentage of the variation in fungus growth that is explained by the linear relationship between laetisaric acid concentration and fungus growth.

The intensity of the color is directly related to the quantity of DNA present in the cell. A haploid cell would have a “low” amount of color, a cell in G1 would have a “medium” amount of color, and a cell in M phase would have a “high” amount of color. Is this sort of assessment quantitative, qualitative or semi-quantitative? Justify your reasoning.arrow_forwardI need help with the bullet point that begins with 'Use technology to determine...' and that bullet points sub-bullets. Thank you!arrow_forward
