Question

Data on the cost (millions of dollars) and the running time (minutes) for films of a particular season are summarized in the computer output shown to the right and the plots below.

1) Find a 95% confidence interval for the slope and interpret it.

I am ____% confident that the cost of making longer movies _______ (decreases, increases) at a rate between _____ and _____ million dollars per minute.

Dependent variable is: Budget($M)

R^2=31.8%

Explanation / Answer

for estimated slope b1 =0.694337

for 95% CI and 18 df; critical value t=2.1009

therefore 95% CI =b1 -/+t*std error =0.1911 ; 1.1975

I am 95_% confident that the cost of making longer movies increases_ at a rate between _0.1911____ and ___1.1975__ million dollars per minute.
