For the 23 space shuttle flights before the Challenger mission disaster in 1986, The following table shows the temperature (◦F) at the time of the flight and whether at least one primary O-ring suffered thermal distress. Use logistic regression to model the effect of temperature on the probability of thermal distress. Interpret the effect. Estimate the probability of thermal distress at 31◦F, the temperature at the time of the Challenger flight. At what temperature does the estimated probability equal 0.50? At that temperature, give a linear approximation for the change in the estimated probability per degree increase in temperature. Interpret the effect of temperature on the odds of thermal distress. Test the hypothesis that temperature has no effect, using (i) the Wald test, (ii) the likelihood-ratio test.
An investigator modeled the log-odds of getting stomach cancer as a function of number of servings of vegetables per week and the number of servings of red mean per week using logistic regression. The odds that a person gets stomach cancer if they have 4 servings of red meat a week are 1.2 times the odds of cancer for someone who has 3 servings of red meat a week. Suppose the fitted regression model is given as log-odds = -6 + 0.182 M – 0.105 V, where M = #servings of red meat per week and V = #servings of vegetables per week. What is the odds ratio representing the change in odds for an increase in one serving of vegetables? Give the answer to three decimal places.

An investigator modeled the log-odds of getting stomach cancer as a function of number of servings of vegetables per week and the number of servings of red mean per week using logistic regression. The odds that a person gets stomach cancer if they have 4 servings of red meat a week are 1.2 times the odds of cancer for someone who has 3 servings of red meat a week. suppose in the example, where the regression coefficient for servings of vegetables is -0.105, we have also obtained from the SAS output a Standard Error from the output of 0.097. Since our estimates are maximum likelihood estimates, we can assume that they follow a normal distribution. As such we can create confidence intervals for the regression coefficients using standard practices for estimates that have normal sampling distributions. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the ODDS RATIO given above (odds ratio representing the change in odds of stomach cancer for a one-serving increase in vegetables. Give the…
