Chapter 3: Q 6. (page 171)

Starbucks The scatterplot shows the relationship between the amount of fat (in grams) and the number of calories in products sold at Starbucks.11 Describe the relationship between fat and calories for these products.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Positive, linear and moderately strong association and has no unusual features.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The following scatterplot depicts the link between the quantity of fat (in grams) and the number of calories in Starbucks products:

02

Explanation

Strength: The spots in the scatterplot aren't too close together and aren't too far apart either. As a result, strength will be moderate.

Form: There is no substantial curvature in the scatterplot. As a result, the shape will be linear.

Direction: The pattern's upward slope means the direction will be positive.

Unusual features: No points in the other scatterplot points significantly vary from the pattern in the scatterplot. As a result, there are no outliers.

Long strides The scatterplot shows the relationship between x = height of a student (in inches) and y = number of steps required to walk the length of a school hallway, along with the regression line y^=113.6−0.921x

a. Calculate and interpret the residual for Kiana, who is 67 inches tall and took 49 steps to walk the hallway.

b. Matthew is 10 inches taller than Samantha. About how many fewer steps do you expect Matthew to take compared to Samantha?

Stand mixers The scatterplot shows the weight (in pounds) and cost (in dollars) of 11 stand mixers.35 The mixer from Walmart (highlighted in red) was much lighter—and cheaper than the other mixers.

a. Describe what influence the highlighted point has on the equation of the least-squares regression line.

b. Describe what influence the highlighted point has on the standard deviation of the residuals and r2

Stats teachers’ cars A random sample of AP® Statistics teachers were asked to

report the age (in years) and mileage of their primary vehicles. Here are a scatterplot, a residual plot, and other computer output:

a. Is a linear model appropriate for these data? Explain how you know this.

b. What’s the correlation between car age and mileage? Interpret this value in context.

c. Give the equation of the least-squares regression line for these data. Identify any variables you use.

d. One teacher reported that her 6-year-old car had 65,000 miles on it. Find and interpret its residual.

e. Interpret the values of s and r2.

Crickets chirping The scatterplot shows the relationship between x = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and y = chirps per minute for the striped ground cricket, along with the regression line y^=−0.31+0.212x

a. Calculate and interpret the residual for the cricket who chirped 20 times per minute when the temperature was 88.6°F.

b. About how many additional chirps per minute do you expect cricket to make if the temperature increases by 10°F?

A carpenter sells handmade wooden benches at a craft fair every week. Over the past year, the carpenter has varied the price of the benches from \(80

to \)120 and recorded the average weekly profit he made at each selling price. The prices of the bench and the corresponding average profits are shown in the table.

a. Make a scatterplot to show the relationship between price and profit.

b. The correlation for these data is r=0Explain how this can be true even though there is a strong relationship between price and average profit.
