A sales manager was interested in determining if there is a relationship between college GPA
and sales performance (number of units sold in the previous month) among salespeople hired
within the last year. The estimated regression equation fit to the data was found to be significant
at ? = 0.05. The 95% confidence interval for the number of units sold when GPA = 3.00 was
determined to be 20.914 to 22.657. The correct interpretation is
Select one:
a. We can be 95% confident that the number of units sold per month by a particular salesperson
with a college GPA of 3.00 is between 20.914 and 22.657 units.
b. We can be 95% confident that the average number of units sold per month by salespersons
with a college GPA of 3.00 is between 20.914 and 22.657 units.
c. The number of units sold per month by a salesperson with a college GPA of 3.00 will be
between 20.914 and 22.657 units 95% of the time.
d. 95% of the time the average number of units sold per month will be between 20.914 and

As the carbon content in steel increases, its ductility tends to decrease. A researcher at a steel
company measures carbon content and ductility for a sample of 15 types of steel. The estimated
regression equation fit to the data was found to be significant at ? = 0.05. The 95% prediction
interval for the ductility of steel with 0.5% carbon content was determined to be 0.45 to 11.59.
The correct interpretation is
Select one:
a. We can be 95% confident that the ductility of a particular type of steel with 0.5% carbon
content is between 0.45 and 11.59.

amount of training received by production line workers and the time it takes for them to trouble
shoot a process problem. A sample of recently trained line workers was selected. The number of
