In a study of 2005 model cars, a researcher found that the fraction of the variation in the car's miles per gallon (MPG) which was explained by the least-squares regression on weight was about 0.81. For the cars in this study, the correlation between the car's MPG and its weight was found to be negative. What is the actual value of the correlation?
Please use DataAnalysis A study was conducted to build a regression model to predict miles per gallon (MPG) of vehicles. To develop the model, you obtained MPG of 43 random vehicles. In addition, you collected the following information - Length: vehicle length (inches) - Width: vehicle width (inches) - Weight: vehicle weight (pounds) - Made in Japan: whether the car is manufactured in Japan or not a. Fit a multiple regression model using all four independent variables. For "made in...

1. Describe the trend of the data, if any. 2. Calculate the linear correlation coefficient and is the linear correlation coefficient significant? Why/why not? 3. Find the least-squares line of regression. 4. Graph the regression line on the scatter plot 5. Plot the residuals (give it your own title and labels for the axes!) with lines for 2 standard deviations of the residuals. 6. Predict the gas mileage of a 2000, 3000 and 4000 lb car. Make a scatter plot...
7. Do heavier cars really use more gasoline? Suppose a car is chosen at random. Let x be the weight of the car (in hundreds of pounds), and let y be the miles per gallon (mpg) At the 5% level of significance, test the claim is that heavier cars use more gasoline. Remember that a claim of correlation would be that X 29 46 29 47 23 40 34 52 Y 30 21 22 14 29 27 22 34 a....
I need help with the last part of this problem - (d) Would it be reasonable to use the least-squares regression line to predict the miles per gallon of a hybrid gas and electric car? Why or why not? - Thank you so much! An engineer wants to determine how the weight of a gas-powered car, x, affects gas mileage, y. The accompanying data represent the weights of various domestic cars and their miles per gallon in the city for...
5). a. An engineer wants to determine how the weight of a gas-powered car, x, affects gas mileage, y. The accompanying data represent the weights of various domestic cars and their miles per gallon in the city for the most recent model year. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. Click here to view the weight and gas mileage data. (a) Find the least-squares regression line treating weight as the explanatory variable and miles per gallon as the response variable. y...
In the following study a researcher was interested in whether infant mortality was related to the level of pollution in the city. For this purpose he collected the following data for n = 20 heavily populated localities. For each locality, an index (X) measuring the average daily level of pollution was determined along with the average infant mortality rate, (Y) over the past ten years. The data is tabulated below: 2. Locality (i) Pollution Index (X) Infant Mortality Rate 3.32...
the questions for the table for number 14 was added For questions 13-16: Light exposure in mice Studies show that night-time light exposure is hamful to human health. A recent 6-week study randomly assigned lab mice to one of three conditions: LD (Group 1) had a standard light/dark cycle cach 24-hour period; (Group 2) LL had bright light all the time, and (Group 3) DM had dim light when there nomally would have been darkness. The rescarchers hoped to investigate...
