Review: Simple Linear Regression
Problem 1: Job Satisfaction
The manager of a company randomly selects 25 employees. They ask them about their
typical commute time to work (in minutes) and their job satisfaction (out of 10). Higher
job satisfaction ratings indicate they are more satisfied. A simple linear regression model
is fit.
a)
Determine the correlation coefficient. Describe the strength of the linear relation-
ship.
b)
Determine the test statistic and p-value for determining if commute time is a useful
predictor of job satisfaction. At the 0.05 level, what is the conclusion?
c) Find and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the slope.
d)
Do the data contradict the claim that for every additional minute of commute
time, job satisfaction rating decreases by 0.1, on the average? Explain.

Example: Truck Weights
Transport trucks can be weighed by two methods. In one, a truck needs to go into a
weighing station and each axle is weighed by conventional means. This method is called
static weights (SW). The other method is newer and somewhat experimental where a
thin pad is placed on the highway and axles are weighed as trucks pass over it. The
newer method is called weights in motion (WIM).
Most large transport trucks have 5 sets of axles (see image below).
Based on a random sample of trucks, static weights as well as weights in motion were
recorded for axles.
The results can be found in the dataset
Truck Weights
.
The
variables are
SW1: static weight of axle 1
WIM1: weight in motion of axle 1
SW23: static weight of axles 2-3
WIM23: weight in motion of axles 2-3
SW45: static weight of axles 4-5
WIM45: weight in motion of axles 4-5
Create a variable for the
combined
static weight of the truck.
Create a variable for the
combined
weight of the truck weight in motion.
Assume conditions for making inferences are met.
a)
Is the new experimental method useful in predicting the static weight of the truck?
Use a significance level of 0.05.
b)
A truck enters a weigh station with a weight in motion of 60,000 pounds.
Predict
the static weight.

Problem 6-23 (Algorithmic)
The medical community unanimously agrees on the health benefits of regular exercise, but are adults listening? During each of the past 15 years, a polling organization has surveyed americans about their exercise habits. In the most recent of these polls, slightly over half of all American adults reported that they
exercise for 30 or more minutes at least three times per week. The following data show the percentages of adults who reported that they exercise for 30 or more minutes at least three times per week during each of the 15 years of this study.
