We would like to know whether there is a linear relationship between the high school GPA and the college freshmen GPA, and we would like to be able to predict the freshmen GPA, if we know that the high school GPA of another student is, say, 3.4.
Provide the two requested scatter plots for this data (put college freshman GPA on the Y (vertical) axis!).
a) What would be your approximate 95% prediction interval for question (g)?
b) Show your scatterplot with the predicted trend line below

1. A researcher observed a rat respond for a food reward by pressing one of the three levers in a cage. Pressing the lever to the right (R) produced no food reward. pressing the lever to the left (L) produced a single food pellet, and pressing the lever at the center (C) produced two food pellets. Because the center level produced the largest reward, the researcher hypothesized that the rat would press this lever most often. Each trial ended when the rat produced a level. The researcher recorded lever pressing for 30 trials.

- A study conducted at Ateneo de Naga University revealed that students who attended class 95 to 100% of the time usually received an A in the class. Students who attended class 80 to 90% of the time usually received a C+ to B+ in the class. Students who attended class less than 80% of the time usually received a D or an F or eventually withdrew from the class.

If a gun's sight is off, the variance of the distances between the shots and the center of the shot pattern will be small (even if the shots are not in the center of the target). A student claims that it is the sight that is off, not his aim, and wants the instructor to confirm his claim. If a skilled shooter fires a gun at a target multiple times, the distances between the shots and the center of the shot pattern, measured in centimeters (cm), will have a variance of less than 0.32. After the student shoots 26 shots at the target, the instructor calculates that the distances between his shots and the center of the shot pattern, measured in cmcm, have a variance of 0.18. Does this evidence support the student’s claim that the gun’s sight is off? Use a 0.005 level of significance.

- Section 11.2 Question #9 In soccer, serious fouls result in a penalty kick with one kicker and one defending goalkeeper. The accompanying table summarizes results from 278 kicks during games among top teams. In the table, jump direction indicates which way the goalkeeper jumped, where the kick direction is from the perspective of the goalkeeper. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the direction of the kick is independent of the direction of the goalkeeper jump. Do the results support the theory that because the kicks are so fast, goalkeepers have no time to react, so the directions of their jumps are independent of the directions of the kicks?

She likes most of the features of one particular brand, but she wants to make sure that the brand has a desirable spin rate (the rate at which the ball spins on its axis after being struck by a golf club). To test the spin rate of this new brand of ball, the golfer hits the brand of ball on 76 shots, and a computer measures the spin rate for each shot. The computer then produces the following histogram summarizing the 76 spin rates. 25 20 15 10 5 0 Frequency 4 12 13 22 19 6 5000 5500 6000 6500 7000 7500 8000 Spin rate (in revolutions per minute) Based on the histogram, estimate the mean spin rate (in revolutions per minute) for the sample.
