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. 1
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. 2
