Question 1

Consider the following to answer the question(s) below:
A study was recently performed by the Canada Revenue Agency to determine how much tip income waiters and waitresses would make based on the size of the bill at the table. A random sample of bills and resulting tips was collected. These data and regression results are as follows:
  
-In testing the null hypothesis H0: β1 = 0, at α = 0.05

Accepted Answer

In testing the null hypothesis H0: β1 = 0, at α = 0.05, we would reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is less than 0.05. Looking at the regression output provided, we see that the p-value for the coefficient of the total bill (β1) is less than 0.05 (0.000), indicating that we should reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, we can conclude that there is a significant relationship between the amount of the total bill and the size of the tip received by the server.

Question 2

Consider the following to answer the question(s) below:
A study was recently performed by the Canada Revenue Agency to determine how much tip income waiters and waitresses would make based on the size of the bill at the table. A random sample of bills and resulting tips was collected. These data and regression results are as follows:

Question 3

In testing the null hypothesis that the correlation coefficient, ρ, equals 0, the correct critical values at 5% significance level are
-In testing the null hypothesis that the correlation coefficient, ρ, equals 0, at α = 0.05

Accepted Answer

The correct choice is A because rejecting the null hypothesis that the correlation coefficient, ρ, equals 0 at a 5% significance level indicates that there is statistically significant evidence to suggest that the true correlation, ρ, is different from zero, implying a relationship between the variables in question.

Question 4

In testing the null hypothesis that the correlation coefficient, ρ, equals 0, the correct critical values at 5% significance level are
-The 95% confidence interval for the slope is

Question 5

Consider the following to answer the question(s) below:
A study was recently performed by the Canada Revenue Agency to determine how much tip income waiters and waitresses would make based on the size of the bill at the table. A random sample of bills and resulting tips was collected. These data and regression results are as follows:
  
-Based upon the regression equation  = -0.6684 + 0.2128x, what is the predicted value for tips if the total bill is $100?

Question 6

Which of the following is true?

Accepted Answer

The confidence interval for the predicted mean value of y is narrower than the prediction interval for an individual y value because the prediction interval also accounts for the variability (error) around individual predictions, making it wider.

Question 7

Consider the following to answer the question(s) below:
An operations manager was interested in determining if there is a relationship between the amount of training received by production line workers and the time it takes for them to troubleshoot a process problem. A sample of recently trained line workers was selected. The number of hours of training time received and the time it took (in minutes) for them to troubleshoot their last process problem were captured. The data, scatterplot and regression results are shown below.
   
-From the histogram of residuals below we can say

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Which of the following is true?

Accepted Answer

When the correlation coefficient is significant, it implies a linear relationship between the variables, which typically means the slope coefficient in a regression will also be significant at the same level of α.

Question 9

Consider the following to answer the question(s) below:
An operations manager was interested in determining if there is a relationship between the amount of training received by production line workers and the time it takes for them to troubleshoot a process problem. A sample of recently trained line workers was selected. The number of hours of training time received and the time it took (in minutes) for them to troubleshoot their last process problem were captured. The data, scatterplot and regression results are shown below.
   
-Based on the regression equation  = 30.7 - 1.84x, the troubleshooting time for a line worker who receives 8 hours of training would be

Question 10

Consider the following to answer the question(s) below:
A study was recently performed by the Canada Revenue Agency to determine how much tip income waiters and waitresses would make based on the size of the bill at the table. A random sample of bills and resulting tips was collected. These data and regression results are as follows:
  
-The value of the correlation coefficient is

Accepted Answer

The correlation coefficient given in the output is 0.9366, which corresponds to choice A.

Question 11

Consider the following to answer the question(s) below:
A study was recently performed by the Canada Revenue Agency to determine how much tip income waiters and waitresses would make based on the size of the bill at the table. A random sample of bills and resulting tips was collected. These data and regression results are as follows:
  
-In testing the null hypothesis that the correlation coefficient, ρ, equals 0, the correct value of the test statistic is

Accepted Answer

The correct value of the test statistic is 7.5602. This is because the test statistic for testing the null hypothesis that the correlation coefficient, ρ, equals 0 is given by:z = r√(n-2)/1-r^2where r is the sample correlation coefficient and n is the sample size. In this case, r = 0.75 and n = 10, so:z = 0.75√(10-2)/1-0.75^2 = 7.5602

Question 12

Consider the following to answer the question(s) below:
A study was recently performed by the Canada Revenue Agency to determine how much tip income waiters and waitresses would make based on the size of the bill at the table. A random sample of bills and resulting tips was collected. These data and regression results are as follows:
  
-In testing the null hypothesis H0: β1 = 0, the correct value of the test statistic is

Accepted Answer

The correct value of the test statistic in hypothesis testing, particularly when testing H0: β1 = 0, is typically the one that shows the strongest evidence against the null hypothesis. A test statistic of 7.5634 (A) is significantly higher than the others, indicating a stronger relationship between the variables being tested, thus providing stronger evidence against the null hypothesis if the context is about the significance of a regression coefficient.
