Suppose you are interested in buying a new Toyota Corolla. Youare standing on the sales lot looking at a model with differentoptions. The list price is on the vehicle. As a salespersonapproaches, you wonder what the dealer invoice price is for thismodel with its options. The following data are based on a randomselection of Toyota Corollas of different models and options. Lety be the dealer invoice (in thousands of dollars) for thegiven vehicle.
x | 12.9 | 13.0 | 12.8 | 13.6 | 13.4 | 14.2 |
y | 11.6 | 11.9 | 11.5 | 12.2 | 12.0 | 12.8 |
(a) Verify that ?x = 79.9, ?y = 72,?x2 = 1065.41, ?y2 = 865.1,?xy = 960.02, and r ? 0.980.
(b) Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that? > 0. (Use 2 decimal places.)
Conclusion
Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that? > 0.
Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that? > 0.
Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficientevidence that ? > 0.
Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidencethat ? > 0.
(c) Verify that Se ? 0.1039, a ?0.464, and b ? 0.866.
(d) Find the predicted dealer invoice when the list price isx = 13.6 (thousand dollars). (Use 2 decimal places.)
(e) Find a 90% confidence interval for y when x =13.6 (thousand dollars). (Use 2 decimal places.)
(f) Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that? > 0. (Use 2 decimal places.)
Conclusion
Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that? > 0.
Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that? > 0.
Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficientevidence that ? > 0.
Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidencethat ? > 0.
(g) Find a 90% confidence interval for ? and interpret itsmeaning. (Use 2 decimal places.)
Interpretation
For every $1,000 increase in list price, the dealer priceincreases by an amount that falls within the confidenceinterval.
For every $1,000 increase in list price, the dealer priceincreases by an amount that falls outside the confidenceinterval.
For every $1,000 increase in list price, the dealer pricedecreases by an amount that falls within the confidenceinterval.
For every $1,000 increase in list price, the dealer pricedecreases by an amount that falls outside the confidenceinterval.
