Math153-DDH                                  Name(s): _________________________________________

Due:  on or before Friday, October 7, 2005.

 

READ EACH SECTION FIRST BEFORE USING MINTAB14.

1)  Open Minitab14.

Enter the class data (DDH) for WkDDH and StudyDDH.  (Questions How many hours per week will you be working in a typical week during this semester?  How many hours per week do you plan to study for this course this semester?) Leave a cell blank if it is blank.

2)  Find the equation of the regression line.  We would like to know if the hours per week spent working influences the hours per week planned studying for the course.

 

IMPORTANT:  Use StudyDDH as the response variable or y variable; use WkDDH as the predictor variable or x variable.

 

Pull down the menu Stat, Regression, Regression,

For the Response variable, double click on StudyDB1.

For the Predictor variable, double click on WkDB1.

OK

DO NOT ROUND OFF.

Equation of Regression Line: ____________________________________________________________

 

3)   Draw a scatterplot.

4)  Type your name in the Session Window and print the Worksheet (the data), the Session Window (the regression analysis), and the Scatterplot.

5)  Which observations are influential or unusual and why?  Circle and label observations on your scatterplot which are influential and unusual (i.e. having a large standardized residual and way off the line).

 

a)       Influential: Observation #(s): (Note: there may be none.)__________________

Why influential?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

b)       Unusual (large standardized residual): Observation #(s) ____________________

Why unusual?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6)  Can we generalize this interpretation to the population of day Math153 students taught by the instructor? _____

Use the p-value.  Explain briefly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7)  Do you think there is an association between work hours  and planned hours of study for the course? ______________  Why or why not?
