Question
Chapter 9, Section 1, Exercise 020 Inference on the Slope of Facebook Friends and the Brain Computer output for a regression line to predict the number of Facebook friends a student will have, based on a normalized score of the grey matter density in the areas of the brain associated with social perception and associative memory is given below. Data for the sample of n 40 students are stored in FacebookFriends. Pearson correlation of GMdensity and FBfriends = 0.436. P-value = 0.005. The regression equation is FB friends = 367 + 82.4 GMdensity Predictor Coef SE Coef T Constant 366.64 26.35 13.92 0.000 GMdensity 82.45 27.58 2.99 0.005 S=165.716 R-Sq = 19.0% R-Sq (adj) = 16.9% 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 -2 GMdensity Click here for the dataset associated with this questionExplanation / Answer
c) at 99% interval and degree of freedom of 38 (40-2) is 2.712
Margin of error = 2.712*27.58 = 74.7848
99% Interval
(82.45-74.7848, 82.45+74.7848)
= 7.67 to 157.23
