Chapter 13.2, Problem 21E
The authors of the paper “Decreased Brain Volume in Adults with Childhood Lead Exposure” (Public Library of Science Medicine [May 27, 2008]: e112) studied the relationship between childhood environmental lead exposure and a measure of brain volume change in a particular region of the brain. Data were given for x = Mean childhood blood lead level (μg/dL) and y = Brain volume change (BVC, in percent). A subset of data read from a graph that appeared in the paper was used to produce the accompanying Minitab output.
Carry out a hypothesis test to decide if there is convincing evidence of a useful linear relationship between x and y. Assume that the basic assumptions of the simple linear regression model are reasonably met.

It is hypothesized that there are fluctuations in norepinephrine (NE) levels which
accompany fluctuations in affect with bipolar affective disorder (manic-depressive
illness). Thus, during depressive states, NE levels drop; during manic states, NE levels
increase. To test this relationship, researchers measured the level of NE by measuring the
metabolite 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG in micro gram per 24 hour) in the
patient's urine experiencing varying levels of mania/depression. Increased levels of
MHPG are correlated with increased metabolism (thus higher levels) of central nervous
system NE. Levels of mania/depression were also recorded on a scale with a low score
indicating increased mania and a high score increased depression. The data is provided
below.

A study was undertaken to determine whether there was a significant weight (in lb) loss after one year course of therapy for diabetes, and whether the amount of weight (in lb) loss was related to initial weight. The following table gives the initial weight (x) and weight after one year of therapy (y) for 16 newly diagnosed adult diabetic patients.

Parents of the children are asked to monitor the number of soft drinks consumed by their child over a one week period. The children are weighed at the end of the week and their weights converted into body mass index (BMI) values.
