A Grass Seed Company Conducts a Study to Determine the Relationship

Question 12

Multiple Choice

A grass seed company conducts a study to determine the relationship between the density of seeds planted (in pounds per 500 sq ft) and the quality of the resulting lawn.Eight similar
Plots of land are selected and each is planted with a particular density of seed.One month
Later the quality of each lawn is rated on a scale of 0 to 100.The regression analysis is given
Below.A 95% confidence interval for the slope of the regression line was determined to be (-1.51, 10.58) .Give an interpretation of this interval. Dependent variable is: Lawn Quality
RR squared =36.0= 36.0 8
s=9.073602s = 9.073602 with 82=68 - 2 = 6 degrees of freedom
 Variable  Coefficient  s.e. of Coeff  t-ratio  prob  Constant 31.148157.5107574.4134230.004503 Seed Density 4.5370372.4695221.8372130.115825\begin{array} { l l l l l } \text { Variable } & \text { Coefficient } & \text { s.e. of Coeff } & \text { t-ratio } & \text { prob } \\ \text { Constant } & 31.14815 & 7.510757 & 4.413423 & 0.004503 \\ \text { Seed Density } & 4.537037 & 2.469522 & 1.837213 & 0.115825 \end{array}


A) We are 95%95 \% confident that each additional point on the lawn quality scale will increase the average seed density by 1.51- 1.51 to 10.5810.58 pounds per 500 square feet.
B) We are 95%95 \% confident that a randomly selected plot will have a lawn quality between 1.51- 1.51 and 10.5810.58 points.
C) Based on this regression, we are 95%95 \% confidence that the average lawn quality is between 1.51- 1.51 and 10.5810.58 points.
D) Based on this regression, each additional pound of seed per 500 square feet will increase the average lawn quality by 1.51- 1.51 to 10.5810.58 points, with 95%95 \% confidence.
E) We are 95%95 \% confident that the average lawn quality will increase between 1.51- 1.51 and 10.5810.58 points per year.
