Textbook Question
Chapter 14.2, Problem 5E
Elliptical trainers are becoming one of the more popular exercise machines. Their smooth and steady low-impact motion makes them a preferred choice for individuals with knee and ankle problems. But selecting the right trainer can be a difficult process. Price and quality are two important factors in any purchase decision. Are higher prices generally associated with higher quality elliptical trainers? Consumer Reports conducted extensive tests to develop an overall rating based on ease of use, ergonomics, construction, and exercise
Brand and Model | Price ($) | Rating |
Precor 5.31 | 3700 | 87 |
Keys Fitness CG2 | 2500 | 84 |
Octane Fitness Q37e | 2800 | 82 |
LifeFitness X1 Basic | 1900 | 74 |
NordicTrack AudioStrider 990 | 1000 | 73 |
Schwinn 430 | 800 | 69 |
Vision Fitness X6100 | 1700 | 68 |
ProForm XP 520 Razor | 600 | 55 |
- a. Develop a
scatter diagram with price as the independent variable. - b. An exercise equipment store that sells primarily higher priced equipment has a sign over the display area that says “Quality: You Get What You Pay For.” Based upon your analysis of the data for ellipical trainers, do you think this sign fairly reflects the price-quality relationship for elliptical trainers?
- c. Use the least squares method to develop the estimated regression equation.
- d. Use the estimated regression equation to predict the rating for an ellipitical trainer with a price of $1500.

- While the mail-order DVD rental market has slowed with the advent of streaming, mail-order is still the only way to find rare movies. Raredvds.biz is considering moving into the rental business after considerable success selling DVDs. To gauge their customer service, they are considering the case of the 1980 film The Monster Club featuring Vincent Price. Raredvds.biz expects to have one copy of the DVD. Based on data collected from customers, Raredvds.biz believes that the average time between orders for the film will be about 10 days with a coefficient of variation of one. Using customer data, the company also believes that including shipping time, both ways, the DVD will on average spend seven days in service, with a coefficient of variation of one.
