Section). Press the button Statistics and select Chi-square, then OK.
2 = 86.615, p=0.000. Conclusion: There is sufficient evidence to infer that educational level
affects the way adults read the newspaper.
15.48 For this exercise it is better to use Excel. Make a table with the observed (which are given)
and expected frequencies (p*the total number of draws=1/49*312=6.37). Compute the chi-square

statistic and compare the obtained value with the critical value (df = 48; =0.05). In Excel, thecorresponding p-value can be computed by using the function: CHIDIST.
2 = 38.22, p=0.8427. Conclusion: There is not enough evidence to infer that the numbers were
not generated randomly.

a. xy *36.2192.296 += .
b. On average each additional ad generates 21.36 (22) customers.
c. Coefficient b1 is not significant (t=1.495, p>0.05). There is not enough evidence to conclude
that the larger the number of ads, the larger the number of customers.
d. R square = 0.085. There is a weak linear relationship between the number of ads and the
number of customers.
e. The linear relationship is too weak for the model to produce predictions.

a. 21 31.014.001.164 xxy ++= . For each additional unit of fertilizer crop yield increases by
0.14 (holding the amount of water constant). For each additional unit of water crop yield
increases on average by 0.31 (holding the fertilizer constant).
b. b1 is not significant (t-value = 1.717, p>0.05). There is not enough evidence to infer that there
is a linear relationship between crop yield and the amount of fertilizer.c. b2 is significant (t-value = 4.637, p Regression > Linear), but indicate that you want to
save the standardized and unstandardized residuals and the unstandardized predictions. Make ahistogram of the (standardized) residuals (Graphs > Regression > Linear > Plots > Standardized
Residuals Plots > select Histogram). Conclusion the errors appear to be normal.

Plot the (unstandardized) residuals against the predicted values (Graphs > Legacy Dialogs >
Scatter/Dot. Here seems to be a problem.
f. Choose Analyze > Regression > Linear > Save, and select besides unstandardized
predictions also individual prediction interval. The first row of your dataset give the
upper- (349.3) and lowerband (69.2) of your prediction (209.3).
