Part I: Draw or print out a scatterplot of specific gravity versus pounds of chips; be sure to label each


Part I:

  1. Draw or print out a scatterplot of specific gravity versus pounds of chips; be sure to label each axis and make appropriate scales for the axis. Use specific gravity as the explanatory variable.
  2. Use your scatterplot and write complete sentences to answer to following: How is the amount of chips made associated with the specific gravity of the potatoes? (Include direction, form and strength)
  3. Use your calculator to compute \(r\) and \(r^{2}\). Then write sentences to explain what each means in the context of the situation. (Round to three decimal places)
  4. Use your calculator to find the regression line. Write the equation of this line and graph it on your scatterplot. (Round to three decimal places)
  5. What does the shape tell you in terms of the specific gravity and pounds of chips.
  6. Use the equation of the regression line to determine the number of pounds of chips that can be made if the specific gravity of a batch of potatoes is 1.0 and 1.09. How do these answers compare with the original data?
  7. There were two varieties of potatoes included in the test. How can you tell this by looking only at the graph?
  8. How does the model (the regression equation) confirm the hypothesis that the company will be more profitable if it buys potatoes with a higher specific gravity?

Part Two

Research Question: Is Life Expectancy at Birth associated with Physicians per 1000 people?

  1. Draw or print out a scatterplot of Life Expectancy at Birth versus Physicians per 1000 People; be sure to label each axis (with units). Us Physicians per 1000 people as the explanatory variable.
  2. Use your scatterplot and write complete sentences to answer the following: How is the Physicians per 1000 People associated with the Life Expectancy at Birth? (include direction, form, and strength)
  3. Use your calculator to compute \(r\) and \(r^{2}\) and then write sentences to explain what each means in the context of the situation.
  4. Use your calculator to find the regression line. Write an equation for this line and draw it on your scatterplot.
  5. What does the slope tell you in the context of the problem?
  6. Use the model to predict life expectancy with a 3 doctors per 1000 people in a country
