Mary helps prepare food in the Tiger Cafe. Mary notices that sales of fresh fruit cups seem to vary widely from day to day. This is a problem because preparing too many cups results in wasted fruit and making too few results in lost sales. She decides that the daily weather may have a strong association with demand. Mary chooses 12 days at random from last semester and pairs each day's high temperature with the number of fresh fruit cups sold each day. Temp (ºF) # of Cups 89 150 52 85 72 136 65 101 72 122 45 66 31 63 89 137 57 86 38 80 37 58 71 118 checksum 718 checksum 1202 b. Is a linear model appropriate? Create a residual plot to provide evidence. c. Compute the correlation coefficient and interpret R‑squared in context. d. Describe the association. Make sure you describe the form and provide evidence for the form. Provide numerical values for direction and strength and interpret them in context. Describe any outliers. e. If Mary wanted to be reasonably certain of not running out of fresh fruit cups on a day forecasted to be 90ºF, how many should she prepare? (Hint: Consider the upper and lower bounds of sales.)
b. Yes. There is random scatter in the residual plot with no apparent pattern. See graph at right. c. r = 0.956 and R2 = 91.3%. 91.3% of the variability in fruit cup sales can be explained by a linear relationship with the temperature. d. There is a strong positive linear association between the number of fruit cups sold and the temperature. The residual plot with random scatter confirms the relationship is linear. The association is positive with a slope of 1.54, so an increase in one degree in the weather is predicted to increase sales by 1.54 fruit cups. The association is strong: 91.3% of the variability in fruit cup sales can be explained by a linear relationship with the temperature. There are no apparent outliers. e. The largest residual is 17.09 fruit cups, so the boundary equations are c = 25.10 + 1.54t and c = -9.08 + 1.54t. On 90º days we predict sales will be between 129.5 and 163.7 fruit cups. Mary should prepare 164 fruit cups.
What is the word for: A function that has an equation of the form y = abx + k, where a is the initial value, b is positive and is the multiplier, and y = k is the equation of the horizontal line which has no limits (asymptote).
