Question

It is thought that basketball teams that make too many fouls in a game tend to lose the game even if they otherwise play well. Let x be the number of fouls more than (i.e., over and above) the opposing team. Let y be the percentage of times the team with the larger number of fouls wins the game.

x 0 2 5 6
y 50 44 33 26

Complete parts (a) through (e), given Σx = 13, Σy = 153, Σx2 = 65, Σy2 = 6201, Σxy = 409, and

r ≈ −0.991.

(c) Find x, and y. Then find the equation of the least-squares line = a + bx. (Round your answers for x and y to two decimal places. Round your answers for a and b to three decimal places.)

x =
y =
  = + x
(e) Find the value of the coefficient of determination r2. What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line? What percentage is unexplained? (Round your answer for r2 to three decimal places. Round your answers for the percentages to one decimal place.)
r2 =  
explained     %
unexplained     %

(f) If a team had x = 4 fouls over and above the opposing team, what does the least-squares equation forecast for y? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
%
