A data set is provided, entitled oldfaithful_asst, on the duration and height of the Old
Faithful geyser in the Yellowstone National Park.
a.
Construct a scatterplot using Excel or any software (SPSS or Minitab)
between the variables “duration” and “height.” Please title the graph
“Scatterplot 1 Old Faithful” and create labels for both axes.
b.
There seems to be a an outlier in the data set. Although an outlier is not a
detriment to the data analysis, as part of an exercise, identify the outlier and
delete it (simply erase its value, do not replace with zero).
Show the new (second) scatterplot and title the graph “Scatterplot 2
Old Faithful”
Describe
the pattern that emerges.
What might this relationship
imply?
c.
Compute the correlation coefficient between the two variables and interpret
this correlation. Refer to both the strength and direction of the correlation in
your interpretation. Also interpret the correlation in terms of r-squared
(coefficient of determination).
d.
Conduct a regression to predict duration of an eruption using height and
interpret the sample slope coefficient in words.
e.
What is the predicted duration for an eruption that is 115?

a) by using given data we can draw the scatter plot:b)
Scatterplot 2 old Faithful i can do in another software:
d) the regression equation is
duration = 212.6+0.26*(height)
if height increases the amount of duration also increases.
f) the predicted value of duration if height =115
= 212.6+0.26*115
=24478.9

Maintaining a healthy weight is important for women’s health. Some physicians recommend being back to your pre-pregnancy weight six months after giving birth. Public health officials are interested in whether this is a realistic goal. Do the women in North Carolina weigh more than their pre-pregnancy weight six months postpartum? In other words, is the six months post-pregnancy weight greater than their pre-pregnancy weight? Use a paired samples t-test to compare pst6wght (variable 1) and prewght (variable 2). This uses...
