The average softball pitcher throws at 55mph with a standard deviation of 4mph.  The average speed a ball comes off a softball bat is 70mph with a standard deviation of 5mph. The correlation between speed off a bat and speed thrown is 0.82. Find the slope of the line that would predict the speed a ball comes off the bat from the speed the ball is thrown. 

b = 0.82(5/4) = 1.025

Find the line of best fit for newborn heartrate based on amount of sodium

y-hat = 147.1427 + 0.2457x

y-hat - predicted heart rate

x - amount of sodium

100

What three things do we use to describe residuals?

Small, Random and Balanced.

100

Esimate the R -value

.5 - .7

100

What is the formula for degrees of freedom for a linear regression t-test or confidence interval?

df = n-2

200

You are given 3 graphs with the following r-values, which is the strongest linear relationship?

A -0.85

B 0.72

C 0.25

A (absolute value closest to 1)

200

Interpret the y- intercept for newborn heartrate based on amount of sodium

If a newborn has no sodium, there heartrate is 147.1427

200

If you have a negative residual, did you over or under estimate the orgiinal value?

(Actual - predicted) Over estimated

200

Estimate the r-value

0

Create the 95% confidence interval for slope for the following with an n = 15

1.6370+-(2.160)(0.5453) = (0.459, 2.815)

300

The coefficient of variation must be between what two numbers?

0<=r^2<=1

300

Interpret the slope

For each calorie increase in the sandwich, the protein will increase by about 0.06515 grams.

300

Your line of best fit is given by y-hat = 13+3.2x.  The actual point on the line is (10, 42). Find the residual for this point.

-3

13+3.2(10) = 45

42-45 = -3

300

What is the name of point A?

Outlier

An organization is interested to see the more beers consumed will increase a person's blood alchol content (BAC).  16 volunteers were randomly given a number of beers to drink and 30 minutes later a police officer tested their BAC.  Write the null and alternative hypothesis for the situation.

H_0:B = 0 H_A: B>0

The equation to predict final exam scores from the first test score is y-hat = 10+0.9x.  If a student scored a 95 on the first test, what is the predicted final exam score?

95.5

400

What is the coefficient of determination?

0.399

400

What does this residual plot tell you about the linear model?

A linear model is not appropirate for this data set since the data is not random (there is a curved pattern).

400

Describe the association in context

As hours spent studying increase, percentage on math test appears to increase.

400

What is the t-value for the hypothesis test from the computer output below.

t = 3.68    (2.4599/0.6669)

500

Find the line to predict repair cost from number of car washes

y-hat = 1344.16 - 60.76 x

x = number of car washes

y-hat =predicted repair cost

500

What is the correlation coefficient?

-0.815

500

What is required of residuals in order to run a hypothesis test for slope?

Nearly normal shape AND equal variance

500

What is the name of the red point and what effect does it have on the r-value?

Influential point. Here is raises the r-value (closer to 1)

500

What are the 5 conditions for inference for linear regression?

1. Linear

2. Independent

3. Nearly normal residuals

4. Random

5. Equal variance (no fanning)
