Problem

A research student is investigating the maximum weight, yy grams, of sugar that will dissolve in 100100 grams of water at various temperatures, xx^\circC, where 10x8010\leqslant x\leqslant80

The research student calculated the regression line of yy on xx and found it to be

y=151.2+2.72xy=151.2+2.72x

(a) Give an interpretation of the gradient of the regression line.

(1)

(b) Use the regression line to estimate the maximum weight of sugar that will dissolve in 100100 grams of water when the temperature is 9090^\circC.

(2)

(c) Comment on the reliability of your estimate, giving a reason for your answer.

(2)

Using the regression line of yy on xx and the following summary statistics

y=3119y2=851093x2=24500n=12\sum y=3119\qquad \sum y^2=851093\qquad \sum x^2=24500\qquad n=12

(d) show that the product moment correlation coefficient for these data is 0.9880.988 to 33 decimal places.

(7)

The research student’s supervisor plotted the original data on a scatter diagram, shown on page 2323

Scatter diagram

With reference to both the scatter diagram and the correlation coefficient,

(e) discuss the suitability of a linear regression model to describe the relationship between xx and yy.

解答

(a)

解法一

思路

展开

斜率 2.722.72 要解释成温度每增加 11^\circC,糖的最大溶解质量平均增加多少。

答题过程

展开

For each increase of 11^\circC in temperature, the maximum weight of sugar that dissolves increases by about 2.722.72 grams.

(b)

思路

直接把 x=90x=90 代入回归线。

答题过程

展开 y=151.2+2.72(90)=396.\begin{align*} y =&\,151.2+2.72(90)\\[3mm] =&\,396. \end{align*}

The estimate is

396 grams.\begin{align*} 396\text{ grams}. \end{align*}

(c)

解法一

思路

展开

原始数据的温度范围是 10x8010\leqslant x\leqslant80,而 9090^\circC 在范围外,所以这是 extrapolation。

答题过程

展开

The estimate is unreliable because 9090^\circC is outside the range of the data, 10x8010\leqslant x\leqslant80.

(d)

解法一

思路

展开

先用回归线和 y\sum yx\sum x。再求 SyyS_{yy}SxxS_{xx}。因为 yy on xx 的斜率是 2.722.72,所以 Sxy=2.72SxxS_{xy}=2.72S_{xx}

答题过程

From

y=151.2+2.72x,\begin{align*} y=151.2+2.72x, \end{align*}

we have

yˉ=151.2+2.72xˉ.\begin{align*} \bar{y}=151.2+2.72\bar{x}. \end{align*}

Now

yˉ=311912.\begin{align*} \bar{y}=\frac{3119}{12}. \end{align*}

So

xˉ=311912151.22.72=39.969\begin{align*} \bar{x} =&\,\frac{\frac{3119}{12}-151.2}{2.72}\\[3mm] =&\,39.969\ldots \end{align*}

Thus

x=12(39.969)=479.632\begin{align*} \sum x=12(39.969\ldots)=479.632\ldots \end{align*}

Also,

Syy=8510933119212=40412.916\begin{align*} S_{yy} =&\,851093-\frac{3119^2}{12}\\[3mm] =&\,40412.916\ldots \end{align*}

and

Sxx=24500(479.632)212=5329.400\begin{align*} S_{xx} =&\,24500-\frac{(479.632\ldots)^2}{12}\\[3mm] =&\,5329.400\ldots \end{align*}

Since the gradient of the regression line of yy on xx is

SxySxx=2.72,\begin{align*} \frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}=2.72, \end{align*}

we get

Sxy=2.72(5329.400)=14495.969\begin{align*} S_{xy}=2.72(5329.400\ldots)=14495.969\ldots \end{align*}

Therefore

r=SxySxxSyy=14495.9695329.400(40412.916)=0.988\begin{align*} r =&\,\frac{S_{xy}}{\sqrt{S_{xx}S_{yy}}}\\[3mm] =&\,\frac{14495.969\ldots} {\sqrt{5329.400\ldots(40412.916\ldots)}}\\[3mm] =&\,0.988\ldots \end{align*}

So the product moment correlation coefficient is 0.9880.988 to 33 decimal places.

(e)

解法一

思路

展开

需要同时提到 scatter diagram 和 correlation coefficient。图上点接近一条直线,而且 rr 接近 11,说明线性模型合适。

答题过程

展开

The scatter diagram shows that the points lie reasonably close to a straight line. Also, the product moment correlation coefficient is close to 11.

Therefore a linear regression model is suitable for describing the relationship between xx and yy.
