    BASEBALL GAME ATTENDANCE - 1.

    2 FRQ
    The following scatterplot shows the number of wins and the attendance per game for 30
    baseball teams in 2017. Also shown are the least squares regression line and computer output.

    A. Interpret the slope and intercept of the least squares regression line in context.

    235 is the slope which means that for every additional win, the attendence increases by 235.
    The intercept is 10834 which represents the attendence per game when the wins are equal to
    0.
    B. Identify the coefficient of determination r2 and explain what it means for the
    relationship of the two variables.

    Because r^2 is small, this means that the variability in number of wins does not explain the variability in
    attendence very well.

    C. Explain why the point representing 80 wins and attendance of 15,986 can be considered
    an outlier.

    The point (80, 15986) is an autlier because it has a large residual and it does not follow the general trend of the data.

    KEEPING DEER OFF HIGHWAYS - 1.3 FRQ


    To prevent deer from running across highways, researchers are investigating sound-emitting
    devices that would frighten deer before they reach the highway. As part of the investigation, the
    researchers set up 20 devices along a two-mile stretch of road. When a deer approached a
    device, the device would activate and emit a sound. The researchers recorded whether the deer
    moved toward the highway (positive response), away from the highway (negative response), or
    did not move (neutral response).

    The researchers kept the loudness of the sound constant at 60 decibels. However, they varied
    the pitch of the sound. There were 6 treatment levels, all measured in kilohertz (kHz): 0, 0.28, 1,
    8, 15 and 28. The treatments were randomly assigned.
    A. Give an example of a problem in context that might arise if the treatments were not
    randomly assigned.

    Randomly assigning ensures that there is variation within each treatment group. If the same type of
    deera are put in one treatment group it means that the type of deer is not controlled which could
    cause errors in the results.

    B. The control in the experiment was 0 kHz (no sound). What information is gained by using
    the control with no sound that could not be obtained if no control were used.

    The control group measures the effects of other variables to the movement of deer . If no control was used,
    then the comparison between treatment groups would not account for confounding variables that effect the
    experiment.

    C. The loudness of the sound was kept constant at 60 decibels for all treatments. Would it
    be reasonable to generalize the effectiveness of the sound emitters beyond 60 decibels?

    It is unreasonable. The results of the experiment are only valid up to 60 decibels. you are not sure how
    the results would change beyond 60 decibels.
    EXAM ACCURACY AND SPEED - 1.1 FRQ
    A. The first stats Trimester has a mean score of 87 and standard deviation of 4 points. The
    maximum possible points to score is a 100. Based on the given information is it
    reasonable to assume that Exam Scores approximately follow a normal distribution

    The range of normal distribution lies between -3.4 standard deviations to +3.4 standard deviations
    from the mean. Since mean + 3.4(sd) is approximately equal to 100, we can say that the exam
    scores can follow a normal distribution.

    B. The Mean time to complete the exam is 2.5 hours with a standard deviation of 0.1
    hours. Reginald scored an 92 on the first test but only had 2.2 hours to complete the
    test. Sara scored an 94 on the test but took 2.4 hours to complete the test. Based on
    both speed and accuracy of taking the test, who performed better ?

    We can find the better performe scores. A higher z score will be better for
    accuracy while a lower z score will be better for speed. Upon comparing the z
    scores we can see, even though Sara did better by scoring, Reginald did
    significantly better when it comes to time. This means Reginald is a better
    performer overall.
