Waterbury Insurance Company wants to study the relationship between the amount of fire damage and the distance between the burning house and the nearest fire station. This information will be used in setting rates for insurance coverage. For a sample of 30 claims for the last year, the director of the actuarial department determined the distance from the fire station (x) and the amount of fire damage, in thousands of dollars (y).

The Airline Passenger Association studied the relationship between the number of passengers on a particular flight and the cost of the flight. It seems logical that more passengers on the flight will result in more weight and more luggage, which in turn will result in higher fuel costs.

We are studying mutual bond funds for the purpose of investing in several funds. For this particular study, we want to focus on the assets of a fund and its 5-year performance. The question is: Can the 5-year rate of return be estimated based on the assets of the fund? Nine mutual funds were selected at random, and their assets and rates of return are as follows: Fund Assets ($ millions) Return (%) AARP High Quality Bond $622.2 10.8 MFS Bond A $494.5 11.6 Babson Bond L 160.411.3 Nichols Income 1

a. The standard error of estimate describes the dispersion about the regression line as the total squared differences between the observed and predicted values divided by the degrees of freedom. For the first data point (9, 8.1) the predicted value for y is 6.87. It is a distance of 1.23 from the actual y value. The square of 1.23 is 1.52. Perform the same calculation for the other eleven points and add the squared differences to obtain 30. The standard error of estimate is 1.732, √.30.0018/12−2. b. The coefficient of determination is 0.296, found by (−0.544)^2. c. So, approximately 30 percent of the variation in the selling price is explained by the variation in the age of the car.

Determine the 95% confidence interval for the mean predicted when x = 7. b. Determine the 95% prediction interval for an individual predicted when x= 7.
a. When x = 7, the predicted y is 6.308, found by yˆ = 3.7671 + 0.3630(7). Since the sample size is 5, df = n − 2 = 3. For a 95% confidence interval t critical value is 3.182 and the standard error of estimate is 0.992.The sample mean is 5.6 and the sum of the squared deviations from the mean of x is 29.2. 6.308±3.182(0.993)√1/5+(7 − 5.6)^2/29.2 =6.308±1.633 The interval is from 4.675 up to 7.941 .b. The prediction interval formula has an extra 1 under the radical. 6.308 ± 3.182(0.993)√1+1/5+(7 − 5.6)^2/29.2 =6.308 ± 3.557 This interval is from 2.751 up to 9.865.
