Choose the best answer. For a biology project, you measure the weight in grams (g) and the tail length in millimeters (mm) of a group of mice. The equation of the least-squares line for predicting tail length from weight is predicted tail length = 20 + 3

weight. Which of the following is not correct? (a) The slope is 3, which indicates that a mouse's weight should increase by about 3 grams for each additional millimeter of tail length. (b) The predicted tail length of a mouse that weighs 38 grams is 134 millimeters. (c) By looking at the equation of the least-squares line, you can see that the correlation between weight and tail length is positive. (d) If you had measured the tail length in centimeters instead of millimeters, the slope of the regression line would have been 3/10 = 0.3. (e) One mouse weighed 29 grams and had a tail length of 100 millimeters. The residual for this mouse is -7.

Sagot :

The part (a) is not correct i.e. The slope is 3, which indicates that a mouse's weight should increase by about 3 grams for each additional millimeter of tail length.

What is Regression analysis ?

Regression analysis is the process of determining how one or more variables and the outcome variable relate to one another. Risk factors, co-founders, and the outcome variable are all referred to as predictors or independent variables. The result variable is sometimes referred to as the dependent or response variable. Regression analysis displays the dependent variable as "y" and the independent variables as "x".

Given, tail length = (3 × weight) + 20

(a) Here, The slope is 3 which indicates that a mouse's length is the sum of 3 times the weight and 20. So, the statement is not correct.

(b) If weight is 38 gm, then

    tail length = 38 × 3 + 20

                     = 114 + 20 = 134mm.

So, the statement is correct.

(c) We've  tail length = (3 × weight) + 20

we can see that the relationship between the two is positive because when the weight is increased, the tail length also increases.

So, the given statement is correct.

(d) The slope is 3 when the tail length is being measured in millimeters.

Now, If we measure it in centimeter = 3/10 = 0.3 cm

∵ 1 mm = 1/10 cm.

So, the given statement is correct.

(e) when a mouse has weight of 29 grams and tail length of 100 mm.

    When the weight is 29 grams, it should have tail length as :

             tail length = 29 × 3 + 20

                              = 107 mm.

  but, tail length is given as 100 mm.

So, the residual for the mouse is -7 i.e. (100 - 107)

Hence, The given statement is correct.
