Suppose you are interested in explaining maximum July temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit and latitude in degrees north of the equator. You check weather data and observe the following data for Edmonton, Calgary, Denver and El Paso, respectively: Lattitude (X)=[51, 53, 39, 31] and Temperature (Y)=[89, 91, 90, 109]. What will β₀ tell you? A)The expected change in maximum July temperature if we move one degree of latitude north B) The expected change in maximum July temperature if we move one degree of latitude south C) The expected maximum July temperature at the North Pole D) The expected maximum July temperature at the equator E) None of the above are correct

Olympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?

QUESTION 25 A clinical trial is being conducted in order to determine the efficacy of a new drug used to treat Rheumatoid arthritis. The efficacy of the medication will not only be determined by the physical improvement of symptoms but also by using a blood test to examine the concentration C-reactive protein (an inflammatory marker) in an individual’s blood. If the researcher wants a margin of error for the level of C-reactive protein to be less than or equal to 3.0 mg/dL, and if the standard deviation for C-reactive protein concentrations among arthritis patients was previously documented at 8 mg/dL, how many patients should be recruited for each group in the study assuming a 95% confidence interval will be used to quantify the mean differences between the control group and the treatment group? nfor the treatment group = 112; n for the control group = 111 nfor the treatment group = 56; n for the control group = 57 nfor the treatment group = 55; n…
question (9): A researcher was interested in the effect of job security on stress. The researcher recruited a random sample of 10 individuals who had job security and 10 individuals who were employed on a 1 year contract. The researcher measured the stress hormone through a saliva sample. This is an independent sample design; TRUE OR FALSE
Question 1 (d) A standard method for determination of the carbon monoxide (CO) level in gaseous mixtures is known from many hundreds of measurements to have a standard deviation of 0.21 ppm CO. A moderation of the method yields a value for s of 0.15 ppm CO for pooled data set with 12 degrees of freedom. A second moderation, also based on 12 degrees of freedom, has a standard deviation of 0.12 ppm CO. Is either modification significantly more precise than the original?

QUESTION 9 The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) conducted a survey to estimate the average number of employees per small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in Free State. For a random sample of 144 SMEs in Free State, the DTI found that the average number of employees was 24.4. Assume that the population standard deviation is 10.8 employees and that the number of employees per SME is normally distributed. Using this information and rounding off the z or t values that you derive to 2 decimal places, the 95% confidence interval of the average number of employees per SME in Free State is for the lower limit andfor the upper limit. (Note: write your final answers to 3 decimal places and when writing your answer use "." (3.250) instead of "," (3,250) with no spaces between digits).

Question 7 Consider a cohort study to compare the mortality rate of myocardial infarction (MI) in men with sedentary work (exposed group) to men with physically active work (unexposed). If in the exposed, there were 36,000 person (man) years of observation and 126 deaths whereas the unexposed had 24,000 man-years of observation and 44 deaths. Compute the following a) Mortality rate in each cohort? b) What is the relative risk of dying, comparing these 2 groups? c) What is the attributable risk of sedentary work? d) What is the attributable benefit of physical activity? e) If we assume that MI is associated with the mortality in this cohort (causality), what proportion of the disease in the higher group is potentially preventable?
Question # 1 A well-known multinational FMCG produces more than fifty products and sells them in the market. Out of fifty products one is mineral water for drinking purpose and supplies different size pack bottles in the market. Product manager observed that, during hot days the sale of water is more as compared to the normal days. He started the collection of data of weekly sale of water and the average weekly temperature. Product manager was interested in developing a relationship between sales and temperature; therefore, he discussed and shared the following data with you. sales 75 77 69 63 79 80 77 70 73 87 72 73 80 80 69 84 77 72 74 81 temperature 32 36 31 31 34 29 32 35 28 31 30 31 29 35 36 28 32 33 32 33 Sale is in thousand liters and temperature is in degree Celsius.

QUESTION 4 Determine whether the given percentage is a statistic or a parameter and why. In a study of all 1018 students at Guttman, data showed that 10% live in Queens. a. Parameter because the value is a numerical measurement describing a characteristic of a sample. b. Statistic because the value is a numerical measurement describing a characteristic of a sample. c. Parameter because the value is a numerical measurement describing a characteristic of a population. d. Statistic because the value is a numerical measurement describing a characteristic of a population.
