Q2). The height (sidewalk to roof) of notable tall buildings in America is compared to the number of stories of the building (beginning at street level).

Height (in feet) Stories
1050 56
428 29
362 25
529 40
790 60
401 22
380 38
1454 110
1127 100
700 46

Part (a) Using "stories" as the independent variable and "height" as the dependent variable, make a scatter plot of the data

Part (b) Does it appear from inspection that there is a relationship between the variables?

Yes

No     

Part (c) Calculate the least squares line. Put the equation in the form of: ? = a + bx. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

? = +   x

Part (d) Find the correlation coefficient r. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

r =  

Is it significant?

Yes

No     

Part (e) Find the estimated height for 31 stories. (Use your equation from part (c). Round your answer to one decimal place.)

( ) ft

Find the estimated height for 98 stories. (Use your equation from part (c). Round your answer to one decimal place.)
( ) ft

Part (f) Use the two points in part (e) to plot the least squares line. (Upload your file below.)

Part (g) Based on the above data, is there a linear relationship between the number of stories in tall buildings and the height of the buildings?

Yes

No     

Part (h) Are there any outliers in the above data? If so, which point(s)?

No, there are no outliers.

Yes, (56, 1050) and (22, 401) are outliers.     

Yes, (22, 401) is an outlier.

Yes, (56, 1050) is an outlier.

Part (i) What is the estimated height of a building with 9 stories? (Use your equation from part (c). Round your answer to one decimal place.

( ) ft

Does the least squares line give an accurate estimate of height? Explain why or why not.

The estimate for the height of a nine-story building does not make sense in this situation.

The least squares regression line does not give an accurate estimate because the estimated height of a building with nine stories is not within the range of y-values in the data.     

The least squares regression line does not give an accurate estimate because a nine-story building is not within the range of x-values in the data.

The least squares regression line does give an accurate estimate because none of the buildings surveyed had nine stories.

Part (j) Based on the least squares line, adding an extra story adds about how many feet to a building? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

( ) ft

Part (k) What is the slope of the least squares (best-fit) line? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)



Interpret the slope.

As the -Select- ( number of stories or height) of the building increases by one unit, the  -Select- (number of stories or height) of the building increases by -Select- (stories or feet) .

Part A) Two identical pieces of machinery are lifted from the sidewalk to the roof of a 100.0 m tall building. One is lifted directly to the building's roof and has a change in internal energy of 1059 kJ. The other is lifted to twice the height of the building and then lowered to the roof. What is the change in internal energy of the second piece of machinery once it has reached the roof? Part B) As a reaction...
