|(a) b0 and b1 alone are parameters but s is not a parameter in simple linear regression. This is because the distribution |

|of y given a value of x has equal standard deviation for all x values and is centered about the least squares regression line. |

|(b) Here Ho is not b1 = 0 because we are testing for the population slope and not sample slope. Ho should be β1 = 0 |

|(c) The prediction interval is wider than the confidence interval. This is because it is much easier to predict what will happen on|

|average, in the long run, than it is to predict what will happen in any particular measurement. |

|n = 20 |

|R = 0.5 |

|Hypotheses: |

|Ho: There is no significant correlation, that is ρ = 0 |

|Ha: There is significant correlation, that is ρ ≠ 0 |

|Decision Rule: |

|t (Two-tailed), α = 0.05 |

|Degrees of freedom = 20 - 2 = 18 |

|Lower Critical t- score = -2.100922037 |

|Upper Critical t- score = 2.100922037 |

|Reject Ho if |t| > 2.100922037 |

|Test Statistic: |

|SE = √{(1 - R^2)/DOF} = √((1 - 0.5^2)/18) = 0.204124145 |

|t = R/SE = 0.5/0.204124145231932 = 2.449489743 |

|p- value = 0.024769559 |

|Decision (in terms of the hypotheses): |

|Since 2.449489743 > 2.100922037 we reject Ho |

|Conclusion (in terms of the problem): |

|It appears that the variables are correlated |

|n = 10 |

|R = 0.5 |

|Hypotheses: |

|Ho: There is no significant correlation, that is ρ = 0 |

|Ha: There is significant correlation, that is ρ ≠ 0 |

|Decision Rule: |

|t (Two-tailed), α = 0.05 |

|Degrees of freedom = 10 - 2 = 8 |

|Lower Critical t- score = -2.306004133 |

|Upper Critical t- score = 2.306004133 |

|Reject Ho if |t| > 2.306004133 |

|Test Statistic: |

|SE = √{(1 - R^2)/DOF} = √((1 - 0.5^2)/8) = 0.306186218 |

|t = R/SE = 0.5/0.306186217847897 = 1.632993162 |

|p- value = 0.14111328 |

|Decision (in terms of the hypotheses): |

|Since 1.632993162 < 2.306004133 we do not reject Ho |

|Conclusion (in terms of the problem): |

|There is no sufficient evidence that the variables are correlated |

|The conclusions are different because of different sample sizes. In the first case, sample size is larger and we found evidence of |

|correlation, but in the second case, sample size is smaller and we found no evidence of correlation. |

|(a) |

|[pic] |

|[pic] |

|The regression equation is y = -115.102 + 3.1019x |

|r = 0.993 implies a strong correlation between x and y |

|r^2 = 0.986 means about 98.6% of the variation in y is explained by the variation in x |

|The regression is significant since the p- value is 0. Length * Width is a strong predictor of Weight. |

|(b) The other regression analyses that can be done are the simple linear regression of Weight vs Length alone and the multiple |

|linear regression of Weight vs Length and Length * Width |

|Here are the results for the multiple regression model … |

|[pic] |

|The regression equation is y = 10.2085 - 9.2137*x1 + 4.0365*x2 |

|r = 0.995 implies a strong correlation between the variables |

|r^2 = 0.991 means about 99.1% of the variation in y is explained by the variation in x1 and x2 |

|The p- value is > 0.05 for length. This means Length is not a significant predictor. But the p- value is < 0.05 for Length * Width.|

|This means Length * Width is a strong predictor of Weight. |
