Hello! Can you check my answers for these questions? Thank you in advance (=
1. The following ordered pairs give the scores on two consecutive 15-point quizzes for a class of 18 students.
(7, 13), (9, 7), (14, 14), (15, 15), (10, 15), (9, 7), (14, 11), (14, 15), (8, 10), (9, 10), (15, 9), (10, 11), (11, 14), (7, 14), (11, 10), (14, 11), (10, 15), (9, 6)
Create a scatter plot of the data. What kind of correlation does the data appear to have?
A. Positive correlation
B. Negative correlation
C. No correlation
D. None of the above
Answer: C
2. Use the regression feature of a graphing utility to find a linear model for the data below. Let t represent the year with t = 9 corresponding to 1999.
Year:|Avg length (L) in minutes:
1999|2.38
2000|2.56
2001|2.74
2002|2.73
2003|2.87
2004|3.05
Which of the following shows the equations of the least squares regression line?
A. L = 7.82t - 9.78
B. L = 7.82t - 17.78
C. L = 0.12t + 2.29
D. L = 0.12t + 1.32
Answer: C
3. Using the same graph presented in the previous question, find the least squares regression line of the data below using the regression feature of a graphing utility. Then, find the average lengths of cellular calls for the year 2013.
A. 242.88 minutes
B. 4.08 minutes
C. 3.48 minutes
D. 3.97 minutes
Answer: B
4. Using the same graph again, find the least squares regression line of the data below using the regression feature of a graphing utility. Then, find the correlation coefficient for the regression line. Round to four decimal places.
A. 0.9766
B. 0.9537
C. 0.971
D. 0.6547
Answer: C
Let's go through the answers and explanations for each question one by one:
1. To create a scatter plot of the data, you can plot each ordered pair on a graph, with the x-coordinate representing one quiz score and the y-coordinate representing the other quiz score. After plotting all the points, you can analyze the overall trend. From the given data, it seems that there is no clear pattern or trend in the data points, indicating no correlation. Therefore, the correct answer is C. No correlation.
2. To find a linear model for the given data, you can use the regression feature of a graphing utility. Input the year as the independent variable (t) and the average length in minutes (L) as the dependent variable. After performing the regression analysis, you will get an equation that represents the best fit line for the data. Comparing the provided answer choices with the equation generated by the regression analysis, you need to select the option that matches the calculated equation. The correct answer is C. L = 0.12t + 2.29.
3. To find the average lengths of cellular calls for the year 2013 using the regression line, you need to substitute the value of t = 14 (with t = 9 corresponding to 1999) into the equation L = 0.12t + 2.29. By calculating the expression, you will get the answer. The correct answer is B. 4.08 minutes.
4. To find the correlation coefficient for the regression line, you can use the regression feature of a graphing utility. After performing the regression analysis, the correlation coefficient is often given as part of the results. Round the correlation coefficient to four decimal places and identify the answer choice that matches. The correct answer is C. 0.971.
