Weight 8.00 24.50 27.00 14.50 28.50 12.75 21.25 Mileage 7.69 4.97 4.56 6.49 4.34 6.24 4.45 (a) Construct a scatterplot of mileage (y) versus weight (x). Verify that a linear model is appropriate. (b) Compute the least-square line for predicting mileage from weight. (c) If two trucks differ in weight by 5 tons, by how much would you predict their mileags differ? (d) Predict the mileage for trucks with a weight of 15 tons. (e) Find all predicted values and residuals for this regression model. (f) Compute the estimate for the error variance. (g) Construct 95% two-sided confidence intervals for intercept and slope parameters.

Cell Phone Radiation Listed below are the measured radiation absorption rates (in W/kg) corresponding to these cell phones: iPhone 5S, BlackBerry Z30, Sanyo Vero, Optimus V, Droid Razr, Nokia N97, Samsung Vibrant, Sony Z750a, Kyocera Kona, LG G2, and Virgin Mobile Supreme. The data are from the Federal Communications Commission. If one of each model of cell phone is measured for radiation and the results are used to find the measures of variation, are the results typical of the population of cell phones that are in use?

Penicillin is produced by the Penicillin fungus, which is grown in a broth whose sugar content must be carefully controlled. Several samples of broth were taken on three successive days, and the amount of dissolved sugars, in milligrams per milliliter, was measured on each sample. The results were as follows.

A dietitian wishes to see if a person’s cholesterol level will be changed if the diet is supplemented by a certain mineral. Four subjects were pre-tested, and they took the mineral supplement for a 6-week period. The results are shown in the table. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean of cholesterol levels has been changed after six weeks at α=0.2α=0.2? Assume that the differences are from an approximately normally distributed population.
