Last year, five randomly selected students took a math aptitude test before they began their statistics course. The Statistics Department has three questions. Does the student scores are higher in maths will score high in statistics also? Test the relationship. What linear regression equation best predicts statistics performance, based on math aptitude scores? statistics? How well does the regression equation fit the data? Studen t 1 2 3 4 5 xi 95 85 80 70 60 yi 85 95 70 65 70

If a student made an 80 on the aptitude test, what grade would we expect her to make in

The xi column shows scores on the aptitude test. Similarly, the yi column shows statistics grades. 2.

1. Calculate is there any relation between house prices and the square feet of the houses? 2. Define the relationship for price and the Sqr feet. 3. What is the cost of the house for 3200 square feet? 4. Find the 95% confidence interval for the average price of 3,200 square-foot houses? 5. What is the average price of the house in pimpri for 2000 Sq-ft?

3. Susan Sound predicts that students will learn most effectively with a constant background sound, as opposed to an unpredictable sound or no sound at all. She randomly divides twenty-four students into three groups of eight. All students study a passage of text for 30 minutes. Those in group 1 study with background sound at a constant volume in the background. Those in group 2 study with noise that changes volume periodically. Those in group 3 study with no sound at all. After studying, all students take a 10 point multiple choice test over the material. Their scores follow:
group 1) constant sound 2) random sound 3) no sound test scores 74686629 55344722 24712155

4. A researcher would like to find out whether a man's nickname affects his cholesterol reading (though it is not clear why she believes it should). She records the cholesterol readings of 23 men nicknamed Sam, 24 men nicknamed Lou and 19 men nicknamed Mac; her data appears in the table to the right. She wants to know whether the differences in the average readings are significant; i.e., whether the average reading of all men nicknamed Sam is different from

the average reading of all Lous or whether these averages differ from the average reading of all Macs.

An experiment is conducted to determine whether intensive tutoring (covering a great deal of material in a fixed amount of time) is more effective than paced tutoring (covering less material in the same amount of time). Two randomly chosen groups are tutored separately and then administered proficiency tests. Use a significance level of < 0.05.
