A college job placement office collected data about students’ GPAs and the salaries they earned in their first jobs after gradua

tion. The mean GPA was 2.9 with a standard deviation of 0.4. Starting salaries had a mean of $47200 with a SD of $8500. The correlation between the two variables was r = 0.72. The association appeared to be linear in the scatterplot. a) Write an equation of the model that can predict salary based on GPA and find the slope and intercept. b) Your brother just graduated from that college with a GPA of 3.30. He tells you that based on this model the residual for his pay is -$1880. What salary is he earning? c) What proportion of the variation in salaries is explained by variation in GPA?

Answer:

X is the GPA

Y is the Salary

Standard deviation of X is 0.4

Standard deviation of Y is 8500

E(X)=2.9

E(Y)=47200

We are given that The correlation between the two variables was r = 0.72

a)y = a+bx

b = \frac{\sum(x_i-\bar{x})(y_i-\bar{y})}{\sum(x_i-\bar{x})^2} = \frac{r \times \sqrt{var(X) \times Var(Y)}}{Var(X)} =  \frac{0.72 \times \sqrt{0.4^2 \times 8500^2}}{0.4^2} = 15300

a=y-bx = 47200-(15300 \times 29) = 2830

So, slope =  15300

Intercept =  2830

So, equation : y = 2830+15300x

b) Your brother just graduated from that college with a GPA of 3.30. He tells you that based on this model the residual for his pay is -$1880. What salary is he earning?

y = 2830+15300 \times 3.3 = 53320

Observed salary = Residual + predicted = -1860+53320 = 51440

c)) What proportion of the variation in salaries is explained by variation in GPA?

The proportion of the variation in salaries is explained by variation in GPA = r^2 = (0.72)^2 =0.5184

-10+5k^5 write in standard form
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

How to write numbers in standard form:

Write the first number 8.

Add a decimal point after it: 8.

Now count the number of digits after 8. There are 13 digits.

So, in standard form: 81 900 000 000 000 is 8.19 × 10¹³

A student records the repair cost for 22 randomly selected dryers. A sample mean of $98.78 and standard deviation of $15.49 are
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

The critical value that should be used is T = 2.0796.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers is between $91.912 and $105.648.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 22 - 1 = 21

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 21 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2.0796, which is the critical value that should be used.

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.0796\frac{15.49}{\sqrt{22}} = 6.868

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 98.78 - 6.868 = $91.912

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 98.78 + 6.868 = $105.648

The 95% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers is between $91.912 and $105.648.
