Question:
- The data on the maximum height (feet) and top speed (mph) of the 12 highest roller coasters are listed below
- Plot the scatter diagram ofHeight (x-axis) versusSpeed (y-axis).
- Calculate the Pearson correlation betweenHeight andSpeed.
- Conduct a simple regression analysis and obtain the least square fit forSpeed (response variable) onHeight (predictor).
- Write down the hypotheses (null and alternative) for testing the association betweenHeight andSpeed using a linear line.
- What proportion of the variability inSpeed is explained by the straight regression line?
- Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that there is a significant association betweenHeight andSpeed? (Use type I error at 0.05)
- Interpret the point estimate of the slope in the fitted regression in 3).
- Find a 95% confidence interval for the slope ofHeight.
- What top speed is predicted for a new roller coaster of height 490 feet? Also provides the corresponding prediction interval.
- What additional danger is there in the prediction in question 9)?
