ch 11. 4 Oxnard Petro, Ltd., has three interdisciplinary project development teams that function on an ongoing basis. Team members rotate from time to time. Every 4 months (three times a year) each department head rates the performance of each project team (using a 0 to 100 scale, where 100 is the best rating). Are the main effects significant? Is there an interaction?
Suppose your dependent variable is aggregate household demand for electricity for various cities. To correct for heteroskedasticity you should Select one: a. multiply observations by the square root of the city size b. multiply observations by the city size c. divide observations by the city size d. divide observations by the square root of the city size e. none of these
In Galton’s height data (Figure 7.1, in Section 7.1), the least-squares line for predictingforearm length (y) from height (x) is y = −0.2967 + 0.2738x.a) Predict the forearm length of a man whose height is 70 in.b) How tall must a man be so that we would predict his forearm length to be 19 in.?c) All the men in a certain group have heights greater than the height computed in part(b). Can you conclude that all their forearms will be at least 19 in. long? Explain.
Note- bolded quiz have already answered A possible important environmental determinant of lung function in children is the amount of cigarette smoking in the home. Suppose this question is studied by selecting two groups: Group 1 consists of 23 nonsmoking children 5-9 years of age, both of whose parents smoke, who have a mean forced expiratory volume (FEV) of 2.1 L and a standard deviation of 0.7 L; group 2 consists of 20 nonsmoking children of comparable age, neither of whose parents smoke, who have a mean FEV of 2.3 L and a standard deviation of 0.4 L.*8.31 What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses to compare the means of the two groups? *8.32 What is the appropriate test procedure for the hypotheses in Problem 8.31? *8.33 Carry out the test in Problem 8.32 using the criticalvalue method. *8.34 Provide a 95% CI for the true mean difference in FEV between 5- to 9-year-old children whose parents smoke and comparable children whose parents do not smoke. *8.35 Assuming…
Consider the following log-wage regression results for women (W) and men (M) where wages are predicted by schooling (S) and age (A). wW = 2.23 + 0.077Sw + 0.017Aw and wM = 2.33 + 0.0745SM + 0.026AM. Sample means for the variables by gender are: women average a logged wage of 3.90, 12.7 years of schooling, and 40.8 years-old; men average a logged wage of 4.53, 14.2 years of schooling, and 43.9 years-old. Decompose the raw difference in average logged wages using the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition. Specifically, decompose the raw difference into the portion due to differences in schooling, differences in age, and the portion left unexplained, possibly due to gender discrimination.

A dietitian wishes to see if a person’s cholesterol level will be changed if the diet is supplemented by a certain mineral. Four subjects were pre-tested, and they took the mineral supplement for a 6-week period. The results are shown in the table. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean of cholesterol levels has been changed after six weeks at α=0.2α=0.2? Assume that the differences are from an approximately normally distributed population.

2) A study was conducted to examine four methods for tutoring in mathematics. Four studentswere randomly assigned to each method, and a pretest score (x1) was obtained before tutoringbegan. The response of interest is a posttest score (y), and dummy variables x2, x3, and x4, werecreated for methods 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Variables x5, x6, and x7, are crossproductvariables for methods 1, 2, and 3, respectively, multiplied by x1. The results from fitting threeregression models to these data are attached to the end of the exam. Since the posttest score isharder than the pretest, it is not unusual for x1 values to be higher than y values. a) Assuming that the parallelism assumption is valid, test for equality of the adjustedgroup means, using alpha = .05. Write the null and alternative hypotheses, calculate an F statisticvalue, compare it to a tabled value and state your conclusion from the hypothesis test. b) Use the fact that the sample mean of x1 is 4.44, and the printout from…

Consider the following two a.m. peak work trip generation models, estimated by household linear regression: T = 0.62 + 3.1 X1 + 1.4 X2 R2= 0.590 (2.3) (7.1) (5.9) T = 0.01 + 2.4 X1 + 1.2 Z1 + 4.0 Z2 R2= 0.598 (0.8) (4.2) (1.7) (3.1) X1 = number of workers in the household X2 = number of cars in the household, Z1 is a dummy variable which takes the value 1 if the household has one car, Z2 is a dummy variable which takes the value 1 if the household has two or more cars. Compare the two models and choose the best. If a zone has 1000 households, of which 50% have no car, 35% have one car, and the rest have exactly two cars, estimate the total number of trips generated by this zone. Use the preferred trip generation model and assume that each household has an average of two workers
QUESTION 3 The Research Unit for Cecilion Supermart conducted an experiment to estimate the strength of thecarrier bag from the starch-based biofilms made from two different jicamas (sengkuang) of type Aand type B. However, the researcher claims that jicama type A produces more strength comparedto type B. To support this claim, 10kg weight item was put into 100 carrier bags made from jicamatype A and 200 carrier bags made from jicama type B were randomly selected. As a result, 8 bagsfrom jicama type A burst while 12 bags from jicama type B burst. Calculate a 95% confidenceinterval for the difference in true proportion of the carrier bags which burst between jicama type Aand type B. Give comment on the parameter estimate.
