You have become suspicious that the draft rankings of your fantasy football league have no predictive value for how teams place at the end of the season. You go back to historical league data and find rankings of teams after the draft and at the end of the season (shown in the following table) to test for a statistically significant predictive relationship. Assume SSM= 2.65 and \( S S_{E}=337.35 \). \begin{tabular}{cc|cc} \hline Draft Projection & FinalRankings & Draft Projection & Final Rankings \\ \hline 1 & 14 & 9 & 11 \\ \hline 2 & 6 & 10 & 16 \\ \hline 3 & 8 & 11 & 9 \\ \hline 4 & 13 & 12 & 7 \\ \hline 5 & 2 & 13 & 14 \\ \hline 6 & 15 & 14 & 12 \\ \hline 7 & 4 & 15 & 1 \\ \hline 8 & 10 & 16 & 5 \\ \hline \end{tabular}

This means that the draft rankings do not help in predicting the final rankings. - Alternative Hypothesis (H1): There is a predictive relationship between draft rankings and final rankings. This means that the draft rankings do help in predicting the final Show moreā¦

Using the same ESPN report that the average income of an NFL players is 1.5 million (1,500,000) with a population standard deviation of $200,000. If they randomly select 500 players and determine their average income of the sample is $1,485,000. Using 5 step hypothesis testing assuming that the average income is decreasing, what can you conclude based on the p-value? Use a .05 significance level. A. p-value is less than significance level so Reject Ho B. p-value is less than significance level so DO NOT Reject Ho C. p-value is NOT less than significance level so Reject Ho D. p-value is NOT less than significance level so DO NOT Reject Ho

Using 10 years of National Football League (NFL) data, we calculate the following regression line to predict regular season wins (Wins) by number of wins in the 4 pre-season games (PreSeason): $\widehat{\text { Wins }}=7.5+0.2($ PreSeason $)$ (a) Which is the explanatory variable, and which is the response variable in this regression line? (b) How many wins does the regression line predict for a team that won 2 games in pre-season? (c) What is the slope of the line? Interpret it in context. (d) What is the intercept of the line? If it is reasonable to do so, interpret it in context. If it is not reasonable, explain why not. (e) How many regular season wins does the regression line predict for a team that wins 100 preseason games? Why is it not appropriate to use the regression line in this case?
Describing Data
Two Quantitative Variables: Linear Regression
NFL football enthusiasts often look at a team's total points scored for (Pts $\mathrm{F}$ ) and total points scored against (Pts $A$ ) as a way of comparing the relative strength of teams. The season totals for the 32 teams in the NFL's 2009 season are shown below: $$\begin{array}{cc|cc|cc|cc} \text { Pts } \mathbf{F} & \text { Pts } \mathbf{A} & \text { Pts } \mathbf{F} & \text { Pts } \mathbf{A} & \text { Pts } \mathbf{F} & \text { Pts } \mathbf{A} & \text { Pts } \mathbf{F} & \text { Pts } \mathbf{A} \\ \hline 427 & 285 & 305 & 291 & 416 & 307 & 454 & 320 \\ 348 & 236 & 391 & 261 & 388 & 333 & 326 & 324 \\ 360 & 390 & 368 & 324 & 354 & 402 & 197 & 379 \\ 258 & 326 & 245 & 375 & 290 & 380 & 294 & 424 \\ 361 & 250 & 470 & 312 & 510 & 341 & 375 & 325 \\ 429 & 337 & 461 & 297 & 363 & 325 & 330 & 281 \\ 402 & 427 & 327 & 375 & 315 & 308 & 280 & 390 \\ 266 & 336 & 262 & 494 & 244 & 400 & 175 & 436 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ a. Calculate the linear correlation coefficient (Pearson's product moment, $r$ ) for the points scored for and against. b. What conclusion can you draw from the answer in part a? c. Construct the scatter diagram and comment on how it supports, or disagrees with, your comments in part b.
