Question:

Which of the following would have resulted in a violation of the conditions for inference?

a. If the entire sample was selected from one classroom

b. If the sample size was 15 instead of 25

c. If the scatterplot of x=foot length and y = height did not show a perfect linear relationship

d. If the histogram of heights had an outlier

e. If the standard deviation of foot length was different from the standard deviation of height


To see if students with longer feet tend to be taller, a random sample of 25 students was selected from a large high school. For each student, x = foot length (cm) and y = height (cm) were recorded. We checked that the conditions for inference about the slope of the population regression line are met. Here is a portion of the computer output from a least-squares regression analysis using these data:

Predictor Coef SE Coef P Constant 91.9766 10.2204 8.999 0.000 Foot length 3.0867 0.4117 7.498 0.000 S= 6.47044 R-Sq = 72.8% R-Sq(adj)= 71.5%
