In Professor Krugman's economics course the correlation between the students' total scores prior to the final examination and their final-examination scores is r=0.5 The pre-exam totals for all students in the course have mean 280 and standard deviation 8. Professor Krugman has lost Julie's final exam but knows that her total before the exam was 300. He decides to predict her final-exam score from her pre-exam total.
What is the slope of the least-square regression line of final-exam scores on pre-exam total scores in this course? What is the intercept?
Use the regression line to predict julie's final-exam score.
Julie doesn't think this method accurately predicts how well she did on the final exam. Use r^2 to argue that her actual score could have been much higher (or much higher) than the predicted value.
(a) Slope, b = r*(sy/sx) = 0.5*(8/40) = 0.1
Intercept = y - bx = 75 - 0.1*280 = 47
The regression equation is:
y = 47 + 0.1*x
(b) Put x = 300
y = 47 + 0.1*300
y = 77
(c) r2 = 0.5*0.5 = 0.25
Since only 25% of the variability in y is explained, Julie's actual score could have been much higher than the predicted value.
Please give me a thumbs-up if this helps you out. Thank you!

In Professor Krugman's economics course, the correlation between the students' total scores prior to the final examination and their final-examination scores is r = 0.5. The pre-exam totals for all students in the course have mean 280 and standard deviation 40. The final-exam scores have mean 75 and standard deviation 8. Professor Krugman has lost Julie's final exam but knows that her total before the exam was 300. He decides to predict her final-exam score from her pre-exam total (a)...
In Professor Friedman's economics course the correlation between the students' total scores before the final examination and their final examination scores is r = 0.66. The pre-exam totals for all students in the course have mean 265 and standard deviation 39. The final exam scores have mean 90 and standard deviation 11. Professor Friedman has lost Julie's final exam but knows that her total before the exam was 320. He decides to predict Julie's final exam score from her pre-exam...

6. Professor Worth has analyzed midterm exam scores of students enrolled in his introductory economics course, using data on each student. He has obtained the following regression results: SCORE = 0.67 + 0.14 SAT + 0.21 STUDY + 0.07 [STUDY SAT] + e (0.22) (0.03) (0.08) (0.02) where entries in parentheses are the standard errors of the parameter estimates immediately above them; SAT = the student's SAT score, measured in units of 100 (so a score of 600 has an...
professor decides to run an experiment to measure the effect of time pressure on final exam scores. He gives each of the 400 students in her course the same final exam, but some students have 90 minutes to complete the exam, while others have 120 minutes. Each student is randomly assigned one of the examination times, based on the flip of a coin. Let Y; denote the number of points scored on the exam by the ith student (0 <Y;...

A Statistics professor assigned 10 quizzes over the course of the semester. He wanted to see if there was a relationship between the total mark of all 10 quizzes and the final exam mark. There were 203 students who completed all the quizzes and wrote the final exam. The standard deviation of the total quiz marks was 15, and that of the final exam was 16. The correlation between the total quiz mark and the final exam was 0.8. Based on...
