In the following data, X is the Fahrenheit temperature and Y is the number of times a cricket chirps in 1 minute.
Make a scatter plot of the data and discuss the appropriateness of using a 5-degree polynomial that passes through the data points as an empirical model.
Fit a polynomial to the data and plot the results.

In Problems, construct a scatterplot of the given data. Is there a trend in the data? Are any of the data points outliers? Construct a divided difference table. Is smoothing with a low-order polynomial appropriate? If so, choose an appropriate polynomial and fit using the least-squares criterion of best fit. Analyze the goodness of fit by examining appropriate indicators and graphing the model, the data points, and the deviations In the following data, X is the Fahrenheit temperature and Y...
Use the accompanying data set on the pulse rates (in beats per minute) of males to complete parts (a) and (b) below. LOADING... Click the icon to view the pulse rates of males. a. Find the mean and standard deviation, and verify that the pulse rates have a distribution that is roughly normal. The mean of the pulse rates is 71.871.8 beats per minute. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) The standard deviation of the pulse rates is 12.212.2...
1. 2. The data show the bug chirps per minute at different temperatures. Find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the independent (x) variable. Find the best predicted temperature for a time when a bug is chirping at the rate of 3000 chirps per minute. Use a significance level of 0.05. What is wrong with this predicted value?

Problem 4: Variables that may affect Grades The data set contains a random sample of STAT 250 Final Exam Scores out of 80 points. For each individual sampled, the time (in hours per week) that the student spent participating in a GMU club or sport and working for pay outside of GMU was recorded. Values of 0 indicate the students either does not participate in a club or sport or does not work a job for pay. The goal of...

Problem 1: Confidence Interval for Percentage of B’s. The data set “STAT 250 Final Exam Scores” contains a random sample of 269 STAT 250 students’ final exam scores (maximum of 80) collected over the past two years. Answer the following questions using this data set. a) What proportion of students in our sample earned B’s on the final exam? A letter grade of B is obtained with a score of between 64 and 71 inclusive. Hint: You can do this...
Problem 8.4: Refer to Muscle Mass Problem 1.27. Second-order regression model (8.2) with independent normal error terms is expected to be appropriate. A. Fit regression model (8.2). Plot the fitted regression function and the data. Does the quadratic regression function appear to be a good fit here? Find R^2. B. Test whether or not there is regression relation; use α= .05. State the alternatives, decision rule and conclusion. C. Estimate the mean muscle mass for women aged 48...
