The Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) is an intelligence test designed for children between the ages of 6 and 16. The test is standardized so that the mean score for all children is 100 and the standard deviation is 15. Suppose that the administrators of a very large and competitive school district wish to estimate the mean WISC score for all students enrolled in their programs for gifted and talented children. They obtained a random sample of 40 students currently enrolled in at least one program for gifted and talented children. The test scores for this sample are as follows: 94,106,123,111,127,112,132,107,123,115,133,132,121,109,121,110,107,128,104,118, 111,127,108,119,121,122,102,130,97,111,125,114,99,101,123,124,108,116,144,113 Click to download the data in your preferred format. CrunchIt! CSV Excel JMP Mac Text Minitab PC Text R SPSS TI Calc Use this data to calculate the mean WISC score, ?⎯⎯⎯ , for these 40 students. Next, compute the standard deviation, SD, of the sampling distribution of the sample mean, assuming that the standard deviation of WISC scores for students in the district is the same as for the population as a whole. Finally, determine both the lower and upper limits of a 90% ?-confidence interval for ? , the mean score for all students in the school district who are enrolled in gifted and talented programs. Give ?⎯⎯⎯ and the limits of the confidence interval precise to one decimal place, but give the standard deviation to at least three decimal places in order avoid rounding errors when computing the limits.

The table below gives the list price and the number of bids received for five randomly selected items sold through online auctions. Using this data, consider the equation of the regression line, yˆ=b0+b1x, for predicting the number of bids an item will receive based on the list price. Keep in mind, the correlation coefficient may or may not be statistically significant for the data given. Remember, in practice, it would not be appropriate to use the regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient is not statistically significant.

Step 1 of 6: Find the estimated slope. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Step 2 of 6: Find the estimated y-intercept. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Step 3 of 6: Substitute the values you found in steps 1 and 2 into the equation for the regression line to find the estimated linear model. According to this model, if the value of the independent variable is increased by one unit, then find the change in the dependent variable y^ (y hat).
Step 4 of 6: Determine the value of the dependent variable y^ at x = 0.
Step 5 of 6: Determine if the statement "Not all points predicted by the linear model fall on the same line" is true or false.
Step 6 of 6: Find the value of the coefficient of determination. Round your answer to three decimal places.
