Suppose you are interested in uncovering the relationship between snowfall (in inches) in the month of December and the flow rate of Yosemite Falls in April (in cubic meters per second) over the span of years from 2005 to 2010 (inclusive). You observe the following snowfall in inches of snow and Yosemite Falls flowrate data: December Snowfall (X)=[16,19,18,16,20,17] and April Flowrate (Y)=[22,23,21,18,26,21]. Suppose your estimate of β₁ is 1.8, how would you interpret that number? A) We expect than a 1 unit increase in December snowfall will lead to about a 1.8 decrease in the April flowrate B) We expect than a 1 unit increase in December snowfall will lead to about a 1.8 increase in the April flowrate C) We expect that zero December snowfall will lead to an April flowrate of about 1.8 D) We expect that zero April flowrate implies a December snowfall of about 1.8 E) None of the above is correct

Question 17 Suppose you are interested in uncovering the relationship between snowfall (in inches) in the month of December and the flow rate of Yosemite Falls in April (in cubic meters per second) over the span of years from 2005 to 2010 (inclusive).

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 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…
