Chapter 23, Problem 42E
Brain size Does your IQ depend on the size of your brain? A group of female college students took a test that measured their verbal IQs and also underwent an MRI scan to measure the size of their brains (in 1000s of pixels). The
Dependent variable is IQ_Verbal
R-squared = 6.5%
- a) Test an appropriate hypothesis about the association between brain size and IQ.
- b) State your conclusion about the strength of this association.

A real estate builder wishes to determine how house size (House) is influenced by family income (Income) and family size (Size). House size is measured in meter square and income is measured in IDR millions. The builder randomly selected 50 families and ran the multiple regression. Partial Microsoft Excel output is provided below:
Which of the independent variables in the model are significant at the 5% level?
Formulate the hypothesis and explain the answer.
How far can you rely upon this model? Or, what is the percentage variation in House
explained by the model?
What is the predicted house size (in hundreds of square feet) for an individual earning
an annual income of IDR 400 million and having a family size of 4?
Consider the image a plot of a regression line.
What do you call the regression line that results in the smallest sum of errors squared?
a. correlational lineb. forecasting linec. least squares regression lined. Pearson's line
Find the simple regression line y=α+βx for the pairs of points belonging to the independent and dependent variables (xi,yi) , respectively. Also, interpret the result by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient. Please dont use excel.

- Many high school students take either the SAT or the ACT. However, some students take both. Data were collected from 100 students who took both college entrance exams. The average SAT score was 920 with a standard deviation of 170. The average ACT score was 20 with a standard deviation of 5. The correlation coefficient r between these two variables equals 0.82. To predict the SAT score from a student’s ACT score, what is the equation of the least-squares regression line?

With detail.arrow_forwardA group of 13 healthy children and adolescents participated in a phycological study designed to analyze the relationship between age and average total sleep time (ATST). To obtain a measure for ATST (in minutes), recordings were taken on each subject on three consecutive nights and then averaged. Results are provided to you in Sleep&Age.xlsx Download Sleep&Age.xlsx file. (2 points) Determine the least-squares regression line for predicting average total sleep time using age. (2 points) Make a scatter plot of the data with ATST on the y-axis (vertical axis) and Age on the x-axis (horizontal axis) with least squares regression line overlaid on the top (i.e.: obtain the fitted line plot). Make sure to attach the plot below. (7 points) Check the assumptions for the simple linear regression. Attach any plots you used check the assumptions and comment on them.
