1 (part 1). Does When Food Is Eaten Affect Weight Gain?A study was introduced that examined the effect of light at night on weight gain in mice. In the full study of 27 mice over a four-week period, the mice who had a light on at night gained significantly more weight than the mice with darkness at night, despite eating the same number of calories and exercising the same amount. Researchers noticed that the mice with light at night ate a greater percentage of their calories during the day (when mice are supposed to be sleeping). The computer output shown below allows us to examine the relationship between percent of calories eaten during the day, DayPct, and body mass gain in grams, BMGain. A scatterplot with regression line is also shown below (attached image).Pearson correlation of BMGain and DayPct =0.740P-Value =0.000--------------------------------------------------------------The regression equation isBMGain=1.11+0.127DayPct

- In a study of exhaust emissions from school buses, the pollution intake by passengers was determined for a sample of nine school buses used in the Southern California Air Basin. The pollution intake is the amount of exhaust emissions, in grams per person per million grams emitted, that would be inhaled while traveling on the bus during its usual 18-mile18-mile trip on congested freeways from South Central LA to a magnet school in West LA. (In comparison, a city of 11 million people will inhale a total of about 1212 grams of exhaust per million grams emitted.) The amounts for the nine buses when driven with the windows open are given in the table. 1.15 0.33 0.40 0.33 1.35 0.38 0.25 0.40 0.35 A good way to judge the effect of outliers is to do your analysis twice, once with the outliers and a second time without them.
