Question: Is the maximum oxygen uptake, a measure often used by physiologists to indicate an individual’s state of cardiovascular fitness, related to the performance of distance runners? Six long-distance runners submitted to treadmill tests for determination of their maximum oxygen uptake. Their results, along with each athletes best mile time (in seconds), are shown in the table.

Maximum Oxygen uptake, X Mile Time, Y
63.3 241.5
60.1 249.8
53.6 246.1
58.8 232.4
67.5 237.2
62.5 238.4
  1. From this data, test the hypothesis that the variables ‘Maximum oxygen uptake’ and ‘Mile Time’ are correlated. (5 points)
  2. Construct a scatter plot of these two variables with a line of best fit (3 points)
  3. If we consider ‘Maximum oxygen uptake ‘as the explanatory variable, and ‘Mile time’ as the response variable, develop the linear regression equation. (3 points)
  4. What is the predicted mile time of an individual who possesses a Maximum oxygen uptake of 70 mm/kg? (2points)
