#36. A biologist is studying field mice particularly if
there is a relationship between the caloric intake of
a rat and its body mass. The caloric intake of rats
varies with body mass as shown below.

Body Mass kg (X) 2 3.4 3.6 4.6 5 6 7 8 8.5 9 10

Caloric Intake, cal h-1 1.5 2.1 3.2 3.6 3.6 3.9 4.1 4.2 4.5 4.6 5.9

A. Find correlation coefficient, r.
Correct to 4 decimal places.
■
r = 

r=

r = .9378
B. Is there a linear correlation between these
results?

Yes, there is
a positive /
direct
correlation.
C. Determine the equation of the regression
line of caloric intake or body mass,
expressing the slope and y-intercept. Correct
to
■  
2 decimal places.
M = 0.43
B = 1.11

= 0.43x +1.11
D. Estimate the caloric intake
when the body mass is 4.8kg
■
=  0.76x – 1.20
= 0.76 (4.8) – 1.20
= 2.448
#58. According to a manufacturer, the average
weight of a cereal box they produced is 20
ounces with a standard deviation of 0.5 ounce.
A. If a random sample of 1000 boxes are
selected, what is the probability that the
weight is less than 21 ounces?

■
z= 

Z = 2.0

Answer: The probability that the weight is less than 21 ounces is

P(x<21) = P(z<2.0) = 0.9772
So there is a 97.72% probability that the weight is less than 21 ounces.
B. What is the probability that the cereal
boxes weigh more than 21 ounces?

■
z= 

Z = 2.0

Answer: The probability that the answer is more than 21 ounces

P (x>21) = P (z>z) = 1 – 0.9772 = 0.0228
Hence, there is a 2.28% probability that the cereal boxes weigh more
than 21 ounces.
C. What is the probability that the cereal
boxes weigh between 19.95 and 21.5
ounces?
■
z=  Answer: The probability that the answer is
between 19.95 ounces and 21.5 ounces
Z = - 0.1
P (-0.1<z<3) = 0.9987 – 0.4602 = 0.5385
Hence, there is a 15.05% probability that
the cereal boxes weigh between 19.95
z= and 21 ounces.
