I'm a bit confused on how to "discuss the relationship" for part a and "Interpret" for part c. I also want to know how to start part E; which test (if any) for I need to use? 1. A manufacturing company is interested in predicting the number of defects that will be produced eachhour on the assembly line. The managers believe that there is a relationship between the defect rate andthe production rate per hour. The managers believe that they can use production rate to predict thenumber of defects. The following data were collected for 8 randomly selected hours.Production rate/h4045203540503050Defects231346.а.Set up a scatter diagram, and discuss what if any relationship appears to be presentbetween two variables.|b. Use the least-squares method to predict the number of defects when production rate is 55.c. Interpret the meaning of the regression coefficients in this problem.d. Compute the standard error of the estimate.e. At a significance level of .01 can you conclude that production rate is a good predictor ofthe number defects?f. Find a 98% confidence interval estimate number of defects when production rate is 55.

The independent variable is Production rate/h. The dependent variable is Defects. This is simple…

A sociologist wants to investigate the question, "Is there a relationship between texting during class and grade-point-average (GPA) among high school seniors in a large district?" Which study design is most appropriate? Before the semester starts, randomly select 40 seniors from each high school who do not text during class. Assign 20 to the texting treatment group (text three or more times during every class meeting) and 20 to the control group (no texting during class). At the end of the semester, obtain each student’s GPA from the appropriate admissions and records office. Compare the GPA of students who routinely text during class to the GPA of students who do not text during class. Before the semester starts, randomly select 40 seniors from each high school who do not text during class. Assign 20 to the texting treatment group (text three or more times during every class meeting) and 20 to the control group (no texting during class). At the end of the semester,…
Suppose that 80% of 3–4-year-old children and 70% of5–8-year-old children in a village are vaccinated with QIVvaccine. Also assume that children who are not vaccinatedhave twice the incidence of influenza as the control groupin Table 3.7.3.29 What % of 3–4-year-old children in the village will getinfluenza?3.30 What % of 5–8-year-old children in the village will getinfluenza?3.31 Suppose we identify a 5–8-year-old child with influenzain the village but are uncertain whether the childwas vaccinated. If we make the same assumptions as inProblems 3.29–3.30, then what is the probability that thechild was vaccinated? (Hint: Use Bayes’ rule here.)
The manager of a company that assembles and exports a particular type of pumps wants to know if there is a link between the number of hours spent by assembly workers in training and their productivity on the job. A random sample of 7 assembly workers was selected and their performances evaluated. The summary of the obtained data is listed in Table 2.

When companies are designing a new product, one of the steps typically taken is to see how potential buyers react to a picture or prototype of the proposed product. The product-development team for a notebook computer company has shown picture A to a large sample of potential buyers and picture B to another, asking each person to indicate what they "would expect to pay" for such a product. The data resulting from the two pictures are provided in file (sheet 6). Using the 0.05 level of significance, determine whether the prototypes might not really differ in terms of the price that potential buyers would expect to pay.

Suppose that in a study of 35 million HPV shots examined, the shots were followed in time by 14,000 serious ailments and 32 confirmed deaths. However, suppose in examining a randomly selected control group of 35 million non-vaccinated people of the same age at a particular time A, 0.0413% developed a serious ailment soon after time A, and 0.000089% died soon after time A. What does the comparison of two groups tell us? What are the percentages in the vaccinated group (serious ailments and confirmed deaths), and how to they compare to the nonvaccinated group? Hint: compute the percentages for serious ailments (14,000/35,000,000) and confirmed deaths (32/35,000,000) for the vaccinated group. Compare with the control group. Notice % above. (0,0413% and 0.000089%) Answer here. What can we conclude with high probability, if this comparison between vaccinated and non-vaccinated groups was done many times with the same basic results? Answer here. Can we absolutely rule out that the…

A statistical program is recommended. Jensen Tire & Auto is in the process of deciding whether to purchase a maintenance contract for its new computer wheel alignment and balancing machine. Managers feel that maintenance expense should be related to usage, and they collected the following information on weekly usage (hours) and annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars).

(Round your numerical values to two decimal places.) #2) The expected expense of a machine being used 34 hours per week is $ hundred.
In a study, 10 healthy men were exposed to diesel exhaust for 1 hour. A measure of brain activity (called median power frequency, or MPF in Hz) was recorded at two different locations in the brain both before and after the diesel exhaust exposure. The resulting data are given in the accompanying table. For purposes of this exercise, assume that the sample of 10 men is representative of healthy adult males.

Miller (2008) examined the energy drink consumption of college undergraduates and found that female useenergy drinks significantly less often than males. To further investigate this phenomenon, suppose that a researcher selects a random sample of n = 36 male undergraduates and a sample of n = 25 females. On average, the males reported consuming M = 2.45 drinks per month and females had an average of M = 1.28. Assume that the overall level of consumption for college undergraduates averages mean = 1.85 energy drinks per month, and that the distribution of monthly consumption scores is approximately normal with a standard deviation is = 1.2.
