(i) Construct a scatterplot to verify a lack of pronounced curvilinearity.
(ii) Determine the least squares equation for these data. (Remember
you will first have to calculate r.SSy and SSx)
Determine the standard error of estimate, Sy/x, given that n = 7
In studies dating back over 100 years, it’s well established that regression
toward the mean occurs between the heights of fathers and the heights of
their adult Sons.
(I) Indicate whether the following statements are true or false.
(i) Sons of tall fathers will tend to be shorter than their fathers (1)
(ii) Sons of short fathers will tend to be taller than the mean for all sons
5 (1)
(iii) Every son of a tall father will be shorter than his father(1)
(iv) Taken as a group adults sons are shorter than their fathers(1)
(v) Fathers of tall sons will tend to be taller than their sons(1)
(vi) Fathers of short sons will tend to be taller than their sons but shorter
than the mean for all 0-fathers.(1)
(II) Interpret the value of r2 in correlation based analysis (7)
A consumers group randomly samples 10 “one-pound” packages of ground
wheat by a supermarket. Calculate the mean and the estimated standard
6
error of the mean for the sample, given the following weights in ounces:
16,15,14,15,14,15,16,14,14,14.
