Question

Use the accompanying paired data consisting of registered boats? (tens of? thousands) and manatee fatalities from boat encounters. Let x represent the number of registered boats and let y represent the corresponding number of manatee deaths. Use the given number of registered boats and the given confidence level to construct a prediction interval estimate of manatee deaths. Use = 87 (for 87?0,000 registered? boats) with a 99?% confidence level.

Find the indicated prediction interval.

Explanation / Answer

The statistical software output for this problem is:

Simple linear regression results:
Dependent Variable: Manatees
Independent Variable: Boats
Manatees = -46.112894 + 1.3744301 Boats
Sample size: 24
R (correlation coefficient) = 0.85874173
R-sq = 0.73743737
Estimate of error standard deviation: 9.5288474

Parameter estimates:

Predicted values:

Hence,

99% prediction interval will be:

46.035 < y < 100.890
