100%

The National Football League (NFL) records a variety of performance data for individuals and teams. To investigate the importance of passing on the percentage of games won by a team, the following data show the average number of passing yards per attempt (Yds/Att) and the percentage of games won (WinPct) for a random sample of 10 NFL teams for the 2011 season (NFL website).

a. Choose the correct a scatter diagram with the number of passing yards per attempt on the horizontal axis and the percentage of games won on the vertical axis. C

b. What does the scatter diagram developed in part (a) indicate about the relationship between the two variables? The scatter diagram indicates a  POSITIVE linear relationship between x= average number of passing yards per attempt and y= the percentage of games won by the team.

(NEED ANSWERS FOR C, D, and E)

c. Develop the estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the percentage of games won given the average number of passing yards per attempt. Enter negative value as negative number.

d. Provide an interpretation for the slope of the estimated regression equation (to  decimal). The slope of the estimated regression line is approximately ________ . So, for every INCREASE  of one yard in the average number of passes per attempt, the percentage of games won by the team increases by _____%

b. What does the scatter diagram developed in part (a) indicate about the relationship between the two variables?
The scatter diagram indicates a positive
linear relationship between z = average number of passing yards per attempt and y = the percentage of games won by the team.
c. Develop the estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the percentage of games won given the average number of passing yards per attempt. Enter negative value as negative number.
