In a study of copper bars, the relationship between shear stress in ksi (x) and shear strain in % (y) was summarized by the least-squares line y = −20.00 + 2.56x. There were a total of n = 18 observations, and the coefficient of determination was r 2 = 0.9111. If the total sum of squares was ∑ni=1(yi−y⎯⎯)2∑i=1n(yi−y¯)2 = 234.19, compute the estimated error variance s2. Round the answer to three decimal places.

She randomly selects a sample of 30 students from the local high school and collects their scores from a language aptitude test. She surveys the sample asking each student how many hours per month he or she spends reading. Using the sample data, Tatiyana produces a scatterplot with reading time on the horizontal axis and language test scores on the vertical axis. She develops a least squares regression equation where ? is the amount of time spent reading during the month and ?̂ is the predicted value of the language test score. ?̂=3.251x+31.237 Compute the value of ?̂ when a student spends 42 hours reading.

The article states that "among these, SAT II scores are the best predictor, explaining 17 percent of the variance in first-year college grades. GPA was second at 15.2 percent, and SAT I was last at 13.1 percent."

- A recent campus bookstore survey sought to determine if there is a relationship between new textbook prices y (dollars) and the number of pages in the book x.

After installing the solar panels, he measured the amount of natural gas used y (in cubic feet) to heat the home and outside temperature x (in degree-days, where a day's degree-days are the number of degrees its average temperature falls below 65° F) over a 23-month period. He then computed the least-squares regression line for predicting y from x and found it to be ŷ = 85 + 16x. The software used to compute the least-squares regression line for the equation above says that r2 = 0.98. This suggests which of the following? 1. Gas used increases by square root of 0.98 = 0.99 cubic feet for each additional degree-day? 2. Although degree-days and gas used are correlated, degree-days do not predict gas used very accurately. 3. Prediction of gas used from degree-days will be quite accurate.arrow_forward
