XY 10331, X 2
9920, Y 2
11003
Then
a. Fit simple linear regression line
b. Calculate correlation coefficient and interpret
c. calculate coefficient of determination and interpret
2. The members of some sport team are interested in whether has an effect on their results.
They play 50 matches with the following results.
Weather Condition
Good Bad
Result Win 12 4
Draw 5 8
Lose 7 14
a. Test whether the result of the team is related with weather condition Use 0.05
3. It is known in a pharmacological experiment that rats fed with a particular diet over a certain
period gain an average of 40 gms in weight. A new diet was tried on a sample of 20 rats
yielding a weight gain of 43 gms with variance 7 gms2. Test the hypothesis that the new diet
is an improvement assuming normality.(use α=5%)
4. A random sample of 400 households was drawn from a town and a survey generated data on
weekly earning. The mean in the sample was Birr 250 with a standard deviation Birr 80.
Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean earning.
5. A physician wishes to know whether there is relationship between a father’s weight and his
new born son weight. The data are given below.
Father weight 176 160 187 210 196
Son weight 6.6 8.2 9.2 7.1 8.8
a. Compute the coefficient of correlation between father’s weight and son weight and
interpret it.
b. Fit the linear regression model of dependent variable on the independent variable.
c. Predict the weight of son, if the weight of father is 200.
