Question 21
21.

Data was gathered to compare the speed of a motorcycle to braking distance.
The data is shown in the table below.

Question 22
22.

Data was gathered to compare the speed of a motorcycle to braking distance. The data is shown in the table below.

Now that your data is in L1 and L2 (Stat, Edit).
Do a linear regression, save the regression equation:
Stat, Calc, #8LinReg, 'StoreRegEQ': VARS, Y-VARS, enter, enter, enter, enter

To be more accurate you will check the residual plot.
First: clear the y= equation (press 'y=' then 'clear')
Then:
2nd, y=, in Statplot 1, change the Ylist to 'RESID' use '2nd, Stat'
Observe the residual plot.
For StatPlot 1 change the YList to RESID (2nd, Stat), Zoom 9

What do you see?
What does this mean? (is the linear model appropriate or not appropriate to use?)

Answer both questions for full credit.

Use the following information for numbers 23 - 28.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a poisonous, colorless, odorless gas produced as a result of incomplete burning of carbon-containing fuels. Cigarette smoke can contain high levels of CO. Below are tar and CO data for 10 brands of popular cigarettes.
We will answer the question: how is the amount of carbon monoxide produced by these cigarettes related to their tar content?
Question 23
23.

Enter the data into L1 and L2 (Stat, Edit)
Observe the scatterplot that shows the relationship between Tar and Carbon Monoxide (CO).
2nd, y=, statplot 1, check your Xlist:L1 and Ylist:L2

Describe the relationship between tar and CO (use F, D, S)

Question 24
24.

Now that the data is in L1 and L2, do a linear regression.

Have your calculator SAVE THE RESIDUALS:
Stat, Calc, #8LinReg, 'Store RegEq' 'VARS', 'Y-VARS', enter, enter, enter, enter.

Check the residual plot to see if it is appropriate to use the linear model to make predictions.
Statplot (2nd, y=), choose the scatterplot,
change the YList to RESID (2nd, Stat).

Check the graph: Zoomstat (zoom #9)

What do you see?
What does this mean?

Answer both questions.

Question 25
25.

No matter what you answered in #24, create the linear model equation.
Round a and b to two places past the decimal.

Match the parts of the linear model to their role or meaning in the equation.

You may need to do another linear regression if you don't remember the values for 'a' and 'b'.
Note: not all values are used.

Use the values for 'a' and 'b' from the linear regression.
Create the linear model equation for predicting mg CO.
Be sure to use meaningful words (no x or y) and the correct notation.

Question 27
27.

If a new cigarette was produced by Marlboro that had 32.4 mg Tar,
use the linear model equation to predict the CO that would be produced.

Round your answer to two places past the decimal.
Use units.

Question 28

Variables must be quantitative.
The histogram needs to show a roughly symmetric distribution.
The data must come from a random sample.
The scatterplot must show a linear association.

The line is located on a scatterplot so that it minimizes the squared distances from the points to the line.
An independent record label sells mp3's of its songs online.
They have been experimenting with different prices for downloading each song.
Based on their data, the linear equation that models the average sales (in # of songs) for each price (in cents):

Sales-hat = 510,198 - 410(price)

Which sentence accurately describes the slope of this linear model (equation)?
If you need to, rewrite the equation using units instead of the name of the variables, this might help.
Sales are predicted to go as low as $510,198.
Approximately 510,200 customers will pay any price for a download.
An increase in prices of 1 cent predicts approximately 410 sales.
If the songs were free 410 people would download them.
Sales decrease by approximately 410 for each 1 cent increase in price.

This linear model can be used to predict the height of a plant (in centimeters) after an amount of time (in weeks).
1. Predict the plants height after 5 weeks.

3. Calculate and interpret the residual for this plant after 5 weeks.
The residual of 0.4 indicates that the linear model over predicted the plant's height.
The residual of 0.4 indicates that the linear model under predicted the plant's height.
The residual of -0.4 indicates that the linear model over predicted the plant's height.
The residual of -0.4 indicates that the linear model under predicted the plant's height.
The residual of 6.96 indicates that the linear model under predicted the plant's height.
The residual of -6.96 indicates that the linear model over predicted the plant's height.
The linear model is appropriate because there is random scatter.
