READ EACH SECTION FIRST BEFORE USING MINTAB14.

1)  Open Minitab14.

Enter the data for an evening class several semesters ago – TV hours and Study Hours. (Questions How many hours per week do you plan to watch TV during this semester?  How many hours per week do you plan to study for this course this semester?) 

Enter the data below.  There are 15 cases.

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

 

IMPORTANT:  Use Study as the response variable or y variable; use TV as the predictor variable or x variable.

 

DO NOT ROUND OFF.

Equation of Regression Line: ____________________________________________________________

 

3)   Draw a scatterplot (Stat, Regression, Fitted Line Plot).

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

 

 

 

5)  Can we generalize this interpretation to the population of evening Math153 students taught by the instructor? _

The p-value = _______________  Explain briefly.  (Explain the nature of the association.)

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

6)  There will be one influential observation.  Circle and label observation on your scatterplot.

 

Influential: Observation #(s): __________________

Why is this observation considered influential?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7)  Delete this observation from the data and rename your dataset.

Find the scatterplot and the equation of the regression line without this influential observation.

 

New regression line equation: _________________________________________________


New p-value: ______________

 

 

 

 

 

 

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