Which of the following scatterplots provides evidence that the condition of equal variance for inference for the slope of a regression line has not been met?
If a set of data is normally distributed with a mean of 20 and a variance of 16, a z-score of -3.8 would convert into what raw score?
The director of an obesity clinic in a large northwestern city believes that drinking soft drinks contribute to obesity in children. To determine whether a relationship exists between these two variables, she conducts the following pilot study. Eight- 12-year-old male volunteers are randomly selected from children attending a local junior high school. Parents of the children are asked to monitor the number of soft drinks consumed by their child over a one week period. The children are weighed at the end of the week and their weights converted into body mass index (BMI) values. The BMI is a common index used to measure obesity and takes into account both height and weight. An individual is considered obese if they have a BMI value 30. The following data or collected: child. # of soft drinks consumed BMI 1 3 20 2 1 18 3…
When we use a least-squares line to predict y values for x values beyond the range of x values found in the data, are we extrapolating or interpolating? Are there any concerns about such predictions?
At a particular academically challenging high school, the average GPA of a high school senior is known to be normally distributed. After a sample of 20 seniors is taken, the average GPA is found to be 2.71 and the variance is determined to be 0.25. Find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean GPA.
A business school is conducting a study to investigate whether a students’ scores on a placement test can be used to predict students’ starting salaries. Based on a random sample of 200 graduates of the business school, a 98 percent confidence interval for the slope of the linear regression line relating placement scores and starting salary is calculated to be (315,336). Assume the conditions for inference are met. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the confidence interval? There is a 98 percent probability that the slope of the population regression line is between $315 per point and $336 per point. A Ninety-eight percent of the time, a 10-point increase in placement score will result in an average increase between $3,150 and $3,360 in starting salary. B We are 98 percent confident that a 10-point increase in placement score will result in a predicted increase in starting salary of between $3,150 and $3,360. C We are 98 percent…
. A taxi company has been using Brand A tires, and the distribution of kilometers to wear-out has been found to be approximately normal with mean =114,000 and σ = 11,600. Now it tries 12 tires of Brand B and finds a sample mean 117,200. Test at the 5% level of significance to see whether there is a significant difference (positive or negative) in kilometers to wear-out between Brand A and Brand B. In the problem above, if the true kilometers to wear-out is 114,000, what is the 95% confidence interval for sample means? First show how to get the critical z values.
In building an arena, steel bars with a mean ultimate tensile strength of 400 Megapascal (MPa) with a variance of 81 MPa were delivered by the manufactured. The project engineer tested 50 steel bars and found out that the mean ultimate tensile strength is 390 MPa. The decision for the extension of the contract with the manufacturer depends on the engineer. Test the hypothesis whether there is no significant difference between the two means using a two-tailed with a=0.01
Which of the following is assumed for establishing the unbiassedness of Ordinary Least Square(OLS) estimates? A) The sample value outcomes on the explanatory variable are all the same value B)The error term has the same variance given any value of the explanatory variable. C)The error term has an expected value of 1 given any value of the explanatory variable D) The regression equation is linear in the explained and explanatory variables.
If one explanatory Variable is correlated with the error term, is there any problem of heterosdasticity in the model?
