- In an attempt to develop a model of wine quality as judged by wine experts, data on alcohol content and wine quality was collected from variants of a particular wine. From a sample of 17 wines, a model was created using the percentages of alcohol to predict wine quality. From the results of that regression, b1=0.4386 and Sb1=0.1141. a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a linear relationship between the percentage of alcohol and wine quality? b.

- The study “Evaluation of Prescribed Burning in Relation to Available Deer Browse” was undertaken at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1964 to determine if fire can be used as a viable management tool to increase the amount of forage available to deer during the crucial months in late winter and spring. Calcium is a required element for plants and animals. The amount taken up and stored in the plant is closely correlated to the amount present in the soil. It was hypothesized that fire may change the calcium levels present in the soil and thus affect the amount available to the deer. A large tract of land in the Fishburn Forest was selected for a prescribed burn. Soil samples were taken from 12 plots of equal area just prior to the burn on May 20, 1964, and analyzed for calcium. On July 16, 1964, postburn calcium levels were analyzed from the same plots. These values, in kilograms per plot, are presented in the following table.

For each company, the analyst looked at two variables: the percent change in stock price over the past five years (which she denoted x ) and the percent change in CEO compensation over the past five years (which she denoted y ). For these 12 companies, the least-squares regression equation relating the two variables was =y+−0.1650.046x , and the standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line was approximately 0.028 .
