College freshmen are weighed before and after they take a health/fitness course. The program’s developer wants to determine if there is a weight change in those students who complete the course. Because many freshmen are still growing, and because they are experiencing dorm food with unlimited seconds for the first time, it is not clear whether their weight will increase or decrease by at the end of the program. Let D equal the weight change, post weight Y minus pre-weight X, the observation D (in kilograms) for 16 randomly chosen women taking the course were: -3.2 0.2 2.0 1.3 0.9 3.7 0.3 -0.8 0.2 - 0.5 1.4 -2.2 -0.1 0.6 0.2 -0.1 What conclusion can you draw out of the given data at 0.01 level? State your hypothesis and show your solution and state your final conclusion.
A poll commissioned by a politician estimates that t days after he makes a statement denegrating women, the percentage of his constituency those who support him at the time he made the statement that still supports him is given by S(t) = 75(t2 - 3t + 25) ÷ t2 + 3t + 25 Based on the previous answer given as 6t^2 - 150 / (t^2 + 3t + 25)^2 (iii) What was his minimum support level?(iv) Was the approval rate positive or negative on the date of the election?
According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at the 5% level. (v) Do values for np and nq both exceed 5? Enter YES or NO for answer (vi) Calculate and enter test statistic Enter value in decimal form rounded to nearest thousandth, with appropriate sign (no spaces). Examples of correctly entered answers: –2.014 –0.370 +0.600 +1.009 (vii) Using tables, calculator, or spreadsheet: Determine and enter p-value corresponding to test statistic.

An economist is studying the job market in Denver-area neighborhoods. Let x represent the total number of jobs in a given neighborhood, and let y represent the number of entry-level jobs in the same neighborhood. A sample of six Denver neighborhoods gave the following information (units in hundreds of jobs). x: 16, 33, 50, 28, 50, 25 y: 2, 3, 6, 5, 9, 3 Part 1: If there exists a linear relationship between x and y, find the equation of the least-squares line, and interpret the slope a.) ŷ= -0.5526+ 0.3023x The slope is -0.5526. For every unit increase in the total number of jobs in a given neighborhood, the number of entry-level jobs in this neighborhood is expected to decrease by 0.5526 units. b.) ŷ= -0.5526+ 0.3023x The slope is 0.3023. For every unit increase in the total number of jobs in a given neighborhood, the number of entry-level jobs in this neighborhood is expected to increase by 0.3023 units. c.) ŷ= -0.7483+ 0.1608x The slope is 0.1608. For every unit increase in the…
In a recent survey, ice cream truck drivers in Cincinnati, Ohio, reported they make about $280 in income on a typical summer day. The income was generally higher on days with longer work hours, particularly hot day, and on holidays. The IceCream data file includes five weeks of the driver's daily income (Income), number of hours on the road (Hours), whether it was a particularly hot day (Hot = 1 if the high temperature was above 85-degrees F, 0 otherwise), and whether it was a Holiday (Holiday = 1, 0 otherwise). 1. Predict the income of a driver working 8 hours on a hot holiday. (Round to the nearest dollar.) 2. Predict the income of a driver working 8 hours on a hot day if it was not a holiday. (Round to the nearest dollar.)

Professor Gersch loves, as everyone should, to collect and analyze statistical information. He wishes to find a relationship between how many hours students study and how they do on their statistics tests. He takes a random sample of 16 students at Ideal U., asks how many hours they studied for a university-wide stat test and how they did on the test, enters the data into a computer for analysis and presents the results below. ANALYSIS OF HOURS AND GRADES (n = 16): Descriptive Statistics: HOURS GRADES Mean: 4.2 75.8 Mode: 5.0 79.0 St. Dev: 2.3 10.1 Quartiles: Q0 2.0 34.0 Q1 3.2 53.7 Q2 4.7 78.5 Q3 6.3 86.9 Q4 9.0 97.0 Regression Analysis: Reg. Eq. is: GRADE = 16.9 + 9.025*HOURS Rsquared = .985 std error = 0.027 F = 8.52 p = .018 Based on the regression model, what grade would a student get if they studied 10 hours? a. 90.25 b. 107.15 c. 97.0 d. 16.9
