Track and Field Day! The table below shows data for 13 students in a statistics class. Each member of the class ran a 40­yard sprint and then did a long jump (with a running start). Make a scatterplot of the relationship between sprint time (in seconds) and long jump distance (in inches). The following scatterplot shows the lengths (in 1000s of feet) and the speeds (in miles/hour) for the 78 roller coasters I rode from Oct. 2007 to

  • Aug. 2009. Describe the relationship between length and speed.

Used Ford Escapes: The following scatterplot shows the number of miles driven (in thousands) and advertised price (in thousands) for 11 used Ford Escapes from the 2012­2014 model years. The regression line shown on the scatterplot is = 24600 ­ 0.114x a) Interpret the slope and y intercept of a regression line. b) Predict the price of a used Escape with 50,000 miles. (c) Calculate and interpret the residual for the Ford Escape with 57,000 miles and an asking price of $15,599.

Example: 12 of Taco Bell’s chicken menu items: (a)Calculate the equation of the least­squares regression line using technology. Make sure to define variables! Sketch the scatterplot with the graph of the least­squares regression line. (b)Interpret the slope and y­intercept in context. (c)Calculate and interpret the residual for the first item listed, the Chicken Burrito Supreme, with 12g

r=0.816 = 3 + 0.5x strange fact

Which of the following has the highest correlation? (Anscombe data sets)

Imagine a scatterplot heights & weights of H. S. students Form, Direction, Strength? Add Shaquille O'Neal (7'1", 325 lbs.) Outlier in height or weight? Still fit the overall pattern? Influential? Add sumo wrestler Kasugao Katsumasa (6'0", 340 lbs.) Outlier in height or weight? Still fit the overall pattern? Influential? Add Manute Bol, (7'6" 200 lbs) Outlier in height or weight? Still fit the overall pattern? Influential?
