A random sample of 30 married couples were asked to report the height of their spouse and the height of their biological parent of the same gender as their spouse. A regression equation for the data is provided below.
Spouse=48.40 + 0.25 Parent
What is the slope of the regression line? Choose the statement that is the correct interpretation of the slope in context.
|
The slope is 48.40. On average, for each one inch taller a parent is, the spouse is about 48.40 inches taller, in the sample |
||
|
The slope is 48.40. On average, for each one inch increase in height for the parent, the spouse is about 0.25 inches taller. |
||
|
The slope is 0.25. On average, for each 0.25 inch increase in the height of the parent , the spouse is about 1 inch taller, in the sample. |
||
|
The slope is 0.25. On average, for each one inch increase in height for the parent, the spouse is about 0.25 inches taller. |
Solution :
Given that ,
Slope = 0.25
The slope of the regression line is ,
Spouse = 48.40 + 0.25 Parent
The statement that is the correct interpretation of the slope in context is ,
The slope is 0.25. On average, for each one inch increase in height for the parent, the spouse is about 0.25 inches taller.

Question 2. Each partner in a sample of 10 married couples was asked how happy each is in their own marriage on scale 1 to 100. The ratings by these couples (husband, wife) were: (60,50), (70,65), (80, 81), (80.79), (80,85), (40,35), (50, 55), (60,55), (65,65), (65,60). a) just by looking at the responses without doing any formal calculation, can you arrive at any conclusion about the relationship between the husband and wife responses? Explain your answer. b) Calculate the sample...
Suppose that an article states that there appears to be a relationship between the height of a person and his or her annual income. Suppose it states that each one-inch increase in height is worth about an extra $500 in annual income. The regression equation that would link y = annual earnings (in thousands of dollars) and x = height (in inches) has: Answers: Slope = 500 Y-intercept = 500 Slope = 1/500 Slope = 0.5 Correlation = 0.5
A sample of 120 married men between 35 and 40 years of age were asked in 1960 the source of their greatest satisfaction in life – their career, their family, or some other activity. A similar sample of 110 married men were asked the same question in 1993. Notice that the two samples -1960 and 1993 – independent (the two samples have different participants), and each person’s score can be tallied in one and only one category –career, family, or...

8. A random sample of 25 college males was obtained and each was
asked to report their actual height and what they wished as their
ideal height. A 95% confidence interval for μd= average difference
between their ideal and actual heights was 0.8" to 2.2". Based on
this interval, which one of the null hypotheses below (versus a
two-sided alternative)can be rejected?
A. H0: μd= 0.5
B. H0: μd= 1.0
C. H0: μd= 1.5
D. H0: μd= 2.0

A survey of a random sample of 400 Telfer undergraduate students in third or fourth year was carried out to gather information for research about student life. Questions were asked about demographic characteristics, grades, study habits, and leisure activities. Here are some of the variables for which data were collected (they are labeled V1 through V9. for convenience). Assume that quantitative variables are normally distributed • V1: First-year overall grade (percent) • V2: Gender (1 male, 2-female) • V3: Opinion...

11. Suppose you are interested in estimating the effect of hours spent in an SAT preparation course (hours) on total SAT score (sat). The population is all college-bound high school seniors for a particular year. (i) Suppose you are given a grant to run a controlled experiment. Explain how you would structure the experiment in order to estimate the causal effect of hours on sat. (ii) Consider the more realistic case where students choose how much time to spend in...
