A sample of 100 bears was treated like it was the whole population of Jellystone Park bears, and the mean weight was found to be 800 pounds with standard deviation 12 pounds, the mean blood pressure was 150 with standard deviation 6, and the sample correlation coefficient of weight with blood pressure was found to be .4. Based on this information, what is the regression slope for the SLR equation for predicting blood pressure using observed weight for Jellystone bears?

I have an 1800 square foot home and based on median price of 628,408, mean listing price $401,398, standard deviation $168,408 and median sq foot of 2108, mean sq foot 2295 and standard deviation sq foot 1128, how do I calculate the regression equation to come up with a listing price for and 1800 sqft home?
The systolic blood pressure of individuals is thought to be related to both age and weight. Let the systolic blood pressure, age, and weight be represented by the variables x1, x2, and x3, respectively. Suppose that Minitab was used to generate the following descriptive statistics, correlations, and regression analysis for a random sample of 15 individuals. Relative to its mean, which variable has the greatest spread of data values?
A professor at the University of Alabama was interested in evaluating the relationship between family support and delinquency. Using data collected on 4545 families, the researcher used regression to analyze the relationship. The results are presented below. What is the predicted value for delinquency for a family with a family support score of 546? Using an alpha level of .05, is there a statistically significant relationship between family support and delinquency? Based on your decision regarding statistical significance, what type of error might you be making? What is the effect size for the relationship between family support and delinquency? Is the effect size for the relationship between family support and delinquency, small, medium, or large?
So I generated this table with stat program, which is from a regression of temperature (in °C) on atmospheric concentrationof carbon dioxide (CO2), in ppm. Can you please construct a 95% confidence interval for the slope of the regression equation? Also, what are the chances of seeing a linear relationship at least as strong as observed from these data, when in fact there was none in the population? What would be the conclusion from this regression?
The mean travel time from one stop to the next on the Coast Starlight Amtrak is 129 minutes, with a standard deviation of 113 minutes. The mean distance travelled from one stop to the next is 108 miles with standard deviation of 99 miles. The correlation between travel time and distance is 0.636. a). Find the equation of the regression line for predicting travel time.
The blood pressure and weight of Jellystone Park bears are correlated with and .6 is the correlation coefficient of blood pressure with weight. The average blood pressure is 150 with variance 100, for Jellystone Park bears. For a randomly selected bear with average weight if we predict its blood pressure is 150 after weighing it, using SLR, what is our expected squared error?
The weights (in pounds) of 6 vehicles and the variability of their breaking distances (in feet) when stopping on a dry surface are shown in the table. Can you conclude that there is a significant linear correlation between vehicle weight and variability in braking distance on a dry surface? Identify the critical values.
When looking at your residual analysis and seeing all of the desirable graphs demonstrate a strong correlation between your independent and dependent variables, is this enough evidence to say that your independent variable makes a good predictor for your dependent variable? If yes, state why. If no, explain what other factors you need to consider.
What is the advantage of using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient over the use of scatter plots in determining the degree of strength of the relationship between the two variables in a set of data?
An important first step in assessing the relationship of two interval level variables is: to calculate a correlation coefficient. to look at a scatterplot. to do a test of significance. to calculate the variance of the independent variable.
In a plot of bivariate data, several outliers appear outside the general pattern of data points and far from a fitted regression line. How would these outliers affect the correlation coefficient? A. There is not enough information to tell. B. It would make the correlation coefficient smaller because it pulls the best fitting line toward it, and away from the rest of the data. C. It would not affect the correlation coefficient at all. An outlier is not representative of the actual relationship so it should be disregarded. D. It would increase the correlation coefficient by making a stronger pattern appear in the data that was unknown before.
