8. A farm food supplier monitors the number of hens kept(𝑥) against the weekly consumption of hen food (𝑦 𝑘𝑔) for
a sample of 10 small holders. He records the data and works out the regression line for 𝑦 on 𝑥 to be
𝑦 = 0.16 + 0.79𝑥
a) Write down a practical interpretation of the figure 0.79
b) Estimate the amount of food that is likely to ne needed by a small holder who has 30 hens [23.9 kg]
c) If food costs £12 for 10kg bag, estimate the weekly cost of feeding 50 hens. [47.59]

9. Each of 10 cows was given an additive (x) every day for four weeks to see if it would improve their milk yield (y).
At the beginning the average milk yield per day was 4 gallons. The milk yield of each cow was measured on the
last day of the four weeks. The data collected is shown in the table.

Cow A B C D E F G H I J
Additive, x (25 gm units) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Yield, y (gallons) 4.0 4.2 4.3 4.5 4.5 4.7 5.2 5.2 5.1 5.1
a. Draw a scatter diagram of these data.
b. Write down any conclusion you can draw from the scatter diagram.
c. From the diagram write down, with reason, the amount of additive that could be given to each cow to maximize yield
and minimize cost.
d. The product moment correlation coefficient is to be calculated for the first seven cows. Write down why you think
cows H, I and J are being left out for this calculation.
e. Use the values 𝑆𝑥𝑥 = 28, 𝑆𝑦𝑦 = 0.90857 and 𝑆𝑥𝑦 = 4.8 to calculate the product moment correlation coefficient
for the seven cows.
f. Write down, with a reason, how the product moment correlation coefficient for all 10 cows would differ from your
answer to e.

10. Describe the main features and uses of a box plot.

Children from schools A and B took part in a fun run for charity. The times, to the nearest minute, taken by the
children from school A are summarized in figure 1.

ii. State the name given to this value.
c. Explain what you understand by the two crosses (×) on figure 1.
For school B the least time taken by any of the children was 25 minutes and the longest time was 55 minutes. The
three quartiles were 30, 37 and 50 respectively.

12. A farmer collected data on the annual rainfall, x cm, and the annual yield of potatoes, p tonnes per acre.
𝑥−4
The data for annual rainfall were coded using 𝑣 = 8
and the following statistics were found:
𝑆𝑣𝑣 = 10.21 𝑆𝑝𝑣 = 15.26 𝑆𝑝𝑝 = 23.39 𝑝̅ = 9.88 𝑣̅ = 4.58
a) Find the equation of the regression line of 𝑝 on 𝑣 in the form 𝑝 = 𝑎 + 𝑏𝑣 [𝑝 = 3.03 + 1.49𝑣]
b) Using your regression line, estimate the annual yield of potatoes per acre when the annual rainfall is 42 cm.
[10.1 tonnes]

13. Bilash, a market gardener, measures the amount of fertilizer, 𝑥 litres, that he adds to the compost for a random
sample of 7 chilli plant beds. He also measures the yield of chillies, 𝑦 kg.
The data are shown in the table below:
𝑥, litres 1.1 1.3 1.4 1.7 1.9 2.1 2.5
𝑦, kg 6.2 10.5 12 15 17 18 19

(∑ 𝑥 = 12 ∑ 𝑥 2 = 22.02 ∑ 𝑦 = 97.7 ∑ 𝑦 2 = 1491.69 ∑ 𝑥𝑦 = 180.37)

a) Show that the PMCC for these data is 0.946, correct to 3 significant figures

The equation of the regression line of 𝑦 on 𝑥 is given as 𝑦 = −1.2905 + 8.8945𝑥

b) Calculate the residuals [ ]

Bilash thinks that because the PMCC is close to 1, a linear relationship is a good model for these data.
c) With reference to the residuals, evaluate Bilash’s conclusion.
[Residuals are not randomly scattered about zero, they ‘rise and fall’, so this indicates that a linear
relationship is not a good model for the data]
