  1. Since crickets are cold-blooded, the rate of their physiological processes and their overall metabolism are influenced by temperature. Hence, chirping frequency (a metabolic process) is dependent upon temperature. Construct a scatter plot for this bivariate dataset.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  1. Determine the sample correlation coefficient. Is there a linear relationship between these 2 variables? If so, describe it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  1. Determine the equation of the least squares regression line and overlay the graph of the least square regression line on the scatter plot you constructed in (a).
 
 
 
 
 
 
  1. Determine R2 for this model. Interpret its meaning.
 
 
 
 
 
 
  1. What is the slope of the line of best fit? Interpret the meaning of the slope in the context of this problem.
 
 
 
  1. Use the equation that you determined in (c) to predict the chirping frequency of the
   cricket when the ground temperature is 90˚ F.

1:) The dataset shows 15 observations of the relationship between cricket chirps (measured in chirps per second) and outside ground temperature (in Fahrenheit). A. Create a scatterplot by putting chirps on the vertical axis and temperature on the horizontal axis. Be sure to properly label the scatterplot with a title, axes titles, and the proper units of the variables. B. Estimate the following relationship: ?h????=?0+?1???????????(Chirps) ̂=b_0+b_1 Temperature. C. Interpret the slope in the context of the problem. D. Interpret the...

1. Pierce (1949) measured the chirping frequency (chirps/sec) of crickets kept at varying temperatures to determine if chirp frequency varies as a function of temperature. He collected the data in Table 1, but he forgot to convert degrees F to C. He needs you to convert them to oC using the equation oC = 5/9[oF -32o] and the Transform/Compute command in SPSS. What type of test do you think he needed to run? Decide which test is most appropriate, use...

You have a dataset of the average number of chirps per minute for a sample of 30 crickets. You find that the mean number of chirps per minute is 40 and that the number of chirps per minute has a standard deviation of 5 chirps. You want to test that the mean number of chirps per minute for a cricket is greater than 38 using a significance level of .05. What is the value of your test statistic? Round your...

Field crickets have a mean chip rate of 60 chirps per second with a standard deviation of 40 chirps per second. It has been hypothesized that the chirp rate of a field cricket is related to its nutritional status. In order to test this, a group collected 22 field crickets and fed them a high protein diet for 8 days. After the eight days it was found that the mean chirp rate of the 22 test crickets was 85 chirps...

In 1900 Chile’s income per capita was $1,950, which made it the second richest country in Latin America, after Argentina. Saul Bolaño, a reputed historian, explains Chile’s relative success on the fact that its elite class was “disciplined, progressive, and industrious” (Yeager, 1991). Imagine a journalist covering Latin America asks you for your opinion, as an expert on Latin American development, about Bolaño’s theory. What would you tell the journalist? ​
