a.
Construct a scatterplot for the data and explain what it suggests.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The given data are on percentage of light absorption (x) and peak photo voltage (y).
If the scatterplot of the data shows a linear pattern, and the vertical variability of points does not appear to be changing over the range of x values in the sample, then it can be said that the data is consistent with the use of the simple linear regression model.
Software procedure:
Step-by-step procedure to obtain the scatterplot using MINITAB software:
- Choose Graph > Scatter plot.
- Select Simple.
- Click OK.
- Under Y variables, enter the column of y.
- Under X variables, enter the column of x.
- Click OK.
The output using MINITAB software is given below:
The scatter plot shows no apparent curve and there are no extreme observations. There is no change in the y values as the values of x change and there are no influential points. Therefore, the simple linear regression model seems appropriate for the data set.

c.
Find how much of the observed variation in peak photo voltage can be explained by the model relationship.
Answer to Problem 60CR
The percentage of observed variation in peak photo voltage that can be explained by the model relationship is 98.3%.
Explanation of Solution
From the Minitab output in Part (b), the value of
This implies that 98.27%, or approximately 98.3% of the observed variation in the dependent variable ‘peak photo voltage’ is being explained by the independent variable ‘percentage of light absorption’ using the simple linear regression model. The change is attributable to the linear relationship between the variables ‘peak photo voltage’ and ‘percentage of light absorption’ and is being explained by the model.
Thus, the percentage of observed variation in peak photo voltage that can be explained by the model relationship is 98.3%.
d.

Find the value of the corresponding residual.
Answer to Problem 60CR
The peak voltage when percent absorption is 19.1 is predicted to be 0.770.
The corresponding residual is –0.090.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Predicted value:

Hence, the peak voltage when percent absorption is 19.1 is predicted to be 0.770.
Residual:

8.
P-value:
From the MINITAB output in Part (b), the P-value is 0.
9.
Decision rule:
- If P-value is less than or equal to the level of significance, reject the null hypothesis.
- Otherwise, fail to reject the null hypothesis.
10.
Conclusion:
The P-value is 0.
The level of significance is 0.05.
The P-value is less than the level of significance.
That is,
Based on rejection rule, reject the null hypothesis.
Thus, there is convincing evidence of a useful relationship between the percentage of light absorption and peak photo voltage at the 0.05 level of significance.
f.

This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?arrow_forwardRespiratory Rate Researchers have found that the 95 th percentile the value at which 95% of the data are at or below for respiratory rates in breath per minute during the first 3 years of infancy are given by y=101.82411-0.0125995x+0.00013401x2 for awake infants and y=101.72858-0.0139928x+0.00017646x2 for sleeping infants, where x is the age in months.
