Question

A high school basketball coach wants to see whether there is a linear relationship between player height, x, and the number of points scored in a game by basketball players in the coach’s state, y. The 96 percent confidence interval to estimate the slope of the linear regression line relating player height to points scored in a game is calculated to be (−0.432,1.844)

Assume all conditions for inference for the slope of a regression line were met. Based on the confidence interval, which of the following claims is supported by the confidence interval?

 
  • A)Each player scored at most 1.844 points in a game.

     

  • B)The average difference between actual points scored and predicted points scored is between −0.432 and 1.844.

     
  • C)There is a positive linear relationship between player height and number of points scored for basketball players in the coach’s state.

     
    D)There is a negative linear relationship between player height and number of points scored for basketball players in the coach’s state.
     
  • E)It cannot be determined whether the linear relationship between player height and number of points scored for basketball players in the coach’s state is positive or negative.
