Question

You conduct a study to determine whether there is a relationship between how old a person is when they divorce and the amount of time before he or she remarries. Some computer output from the analysis and a residual plot of the data are presented below. (Values are in years).Regression Analysis The regression equation is Time = 0.03 + 0.124 Age Predictor Constant Age Coef 0.034 0.123780.04963 2.49 Stdev 1.962 t-ratio 0.02 0.987 0.037 s= 1.659 R-sq=43.7% R-sq(adj)=36.7% 4.0+ i 2.0+ s 0.0+ 2.0+ X --+----Age 24 32 40 48 56What is the predicted number of years a 40 year old will wait before remarrying?

What is the predicted number of years a 40 year old will wait before remarrying?

Given that the study found that the average 40 year old waits 4 years before remarrying, what is the value of the residual for a 40 year old?

Based on the printout and the residual plot, does it appear that time and age have a linear relationship? If so, how strong does the predictive relationship appear to be?

Answer:

 a

  The predicted number of years a 40 year old will wait before remarrying is     $Time = 4.99$

  b

  The value of the residual for a 40 year old  is  $t = 0.99 \ years$

c

   Based on the print out , we can say that the time and the age has a linear relationship

  And looking the R-sq we can say the 43.7% of time variation is due to age

Step-by-step explanation:

   From the regression equation

         $Time = 0.03 + 0.124 Age$

And from the question we are told that Age is  40 years so

      $Time = 0.03 + 0.124 (40 )$

      $Time = 4.99$

Therefore the predicted time 40 year old will wait for 4.99 years before remarrying

    From the question,the study found that the average 40 year old waits 4 years before remarrying,

     So the residual for a 40 year old is  mathematically evaluated as

              $t = 4.99 - 4$

             $t = 0.99 \ years$

Based on the print out , we can say that the time and the age has a linear relationship

  And looking the R-sq we can say the 43.7% of time variation is due to age
