It is thought that prehistoric Indians did not take their best tools, pottery, and household items when they visited higher elevations for their summer camps. It is hypothesized that archaeological sites tend to lose their cultural identity and specific cultural affiliation as the elevation of the site increases. Let x be the elevation (in thousands of feet) for an archaeological site in the southwestern United States. Let y be the percentage of unidentified artifacts (no specific cultural affiliation) at a given elevation. Suppose that the following data were obtained for a collection of archaeological sites in New Mexico: x 5.50 6.25 6.75 7.25 7.50 y 9 38 38 50 72 What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line?

Select one:

a. 89.9%

b. 10.1%

c. 94.8%

d. 0.3%

e. 1.0%

What is the optimal time for a scuba diver to be on the bottom of the ocean? That depends on the depth of the dive. The U.S. Navy has done a lot of research on this topic. The Navy defines the "optimal time" to be the time at each depth for the best balance between length of work period and decompression time after surfacing. Let x = depth of dive in meters, and let y = optimal time in hours. A random sample of divers gave the following data.

(a) Find Σx, Σy, Σx², Σy², Σxy, and r. (Round r to three decimal places.)

(b) Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that ρ < 0. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Conclusion

Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence that ρ < 0.

Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence that ρ < 0.     

Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence that ρ < 0.

Reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence that ρ < 0.

(c) Find S_e, a, and b. (Round your answers to five decimal places.)

(d) Find the predicted optimal time in hours for a dive depth of x = 22 meters. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
hr

(e) Find an 80% confidence interval for y when x = 22 meters. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(f) Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that β < 0. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Conclusion

Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence that β < 0.

Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence that β < 0.     

Reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence that β < 0.

Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence that β < 0.

(g) Find a 90% confidence interval for β and interpret its meaning. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Interpretation

For a 1 meter increase in depth, the optimal time increases by an amount that falls within the confidence interval.

For a 1 meter increase in depth, the optimal time decreases by an amount that falls outside the confidence interval.     

For a 1 meter increase in depth, the optimal time decreases by an amount that falls within the confidence interval.

For a 1 meter increase in depth, the optimal time increases by an amount that falls outside the confidence interval.

You believe the population of difference scores is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obtain pre-test and post-test samples for n=264n=264 subjects. The average difference (post - pre) is ¯d=3.6d¯=3.6 with a standard deviation of the differences of sd=20.4sd=20.4.

What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
test statistic =

What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value =

The p-value is...

• less than (or equal to) αα
• greater than αα

This test statistic leads to a decision to...

• reject the null
• accept the null
• fail to reject the null

As such, the final conclusion is that...

• There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is greater than 0.
• There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is greater than 0.
• The sample data support the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is greater than 0.
• There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is greater than 0.

The Economic Policy Institute reports that the average entry-level wage for male college graduates is $22.07 per hour and for female college graduates is $19.85 per hour. The standard deviation for male graduates is $3.77 and for female graduates is $3.11. Assume wages are normally distributed. Question 1: If 25 females graduates are chosen, find the probability the sample average entry-level wage is at least $20.60.

In order to control costs, a company wishes to study the amount of money its sales force spends entertaining clients. The following is a random sample of six entertainment expenses (dinner costs for four people) from expense reports submitted by members of the sales force

(a) Calculate x¯x¯ , s², and s for the expense data. (Round "Mean" and "Variances" to 2 decimal places and "Standard Deviation" to 3 decimal places.)

(b) Assuming that the distribution of entertainment expenses is approximately normally distributed, calculate estimates of tolerance intervals containing 68.26 percent, 95.44 percent, and 99.73 percent of all entertainment expenses by the sales force. (Round intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimals.)

(c) If a member of the sales force submits an entertainment expense (dinner cost for four) of $390, should this expense be considered unusually high (and possibly worthy of investigation by the company)? Explain your answer.

(d) Compute and interpret the z-score for each of the six entertainment expenses. (Round z-score calculations to 2 decimal places. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
