Question

You are the foreman of the Bar-S cattle ranch in Colorado. A neighboring ranch has calves for sale, and you are going to buy some calves to add to the Bar-S herd. How much should a healthy calf weigh? Let x be the age of the calf (in weeks), and let y be the weight of the calf (in kilograms). x 3 3 9 16 26 36 y 41 51 78 100 150 200 Complete parts (a) through (e), given Σx = 93, Σy = 620, Σx2 = 2327, Σy2 = 82,866, Σxy = 13,678, and r ≈ 0.997. (a) Draw a scatter diagram displaying the data.

(b) Verify the given sums Σx, Σy, Σx2, Σy2, Σxy, and the value of the sample correlation coefficient r. (Round your value for r to three decimal places.) Σx = Σy = Σx2 = Σy2 = Σxy = r = (c) Find x, and y. Then find the equation of the least-squares line y hat = a + bx. (Round your answers for x and y to two decimal places. Round your answers for a and b to three decimal places.) x = y = y hat = + x (d) Graph the least-squares line. Be sure to plot the point (x, y) as a point on the line. WebAssign Plot WebAssign Plot WebAssign Plot WebAssign Plot (e) Find the value of the coefficient of determination r2. What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line? What percentage is unexplained? (Round your answer for r2 to three decimal places. Round your answers for the percentages to one decimal place.) r2 = explained % unexplained % (f) The calves you want to buy are 18 weeks old. What does the least-squares line predict for a healthy weight? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) kg?
