A manufacturing company produces electric insulators. You define the variable of interest as the strength of the insulators. If the insulators break when in use, a short circuit is likely. To test the strength of the insulators, you carry out destructive testing to determine how much force is required to break the insulators. You measure force by observing how many pounds are applied to the insulator before it breaks. The accompanying data represent the amount of force required to break a sample of 30 insulators.

Of the 150 fans, 135 of them (90%) responded that they did listen to the song during this time period. What is the parameter and what is its value? a. The parameter is the proportion of the 150 sampled Taylor Swift fans who listened to ME! within the first hour after it released, which is 135. b. The parameter is the group of Taylor Swift fans who were surveyed, which is 150. c.

The ability to estimate the volume of a tree based on a simple measurement, such as the diameter of the tree, is important to the lumber industry, ecologists, and conservationists. Data on volume, in cubic feet, and diameter at breast height, in inches, for 70 shortleaf pines was reported in C. Bruce and F. X. Schumacher’s Forest Mensuration (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1935) and analyzed by A. C. Akinson in the article “Transforming Both Sides of a Tree” (The American Statistician, Vol. 48, pp. 307–312). The data are provided on the WeissStats site. a. obtain and interpret the standard error of the estimate. b. obtain a residual plot and a normal probability plot of the residuals. c. decide whether you can reasonably consider Assumptions 1–3 for regression inferences met by the two variables under consideration.arrow_forward
