The following model was fitted to data on gas mileage as a function of weight of vehicle and type of vehicle (sport utility vehicle, family sedan, subcompact). Model: MPG = 50 - 0.004WT - 8SUV - 3FS MPG =miles per gallon; WT=weight of vehicle; SUV=sport utility vehicle; FS=family sedan Answer the questions below. 1. Each pound of weight reduces fuel economy by MPG 2. Fuel economy is reduced by MPG for a sport utility vehicle 3. Fuel economy is reduced by MPG for a family sedan 4. For a subcompact car weighing 1000 pounds, what is the predicted fuel economy?

In a study aimed at creating reference values, abdominal circumference (measured in cm) was measured in adult men. It was found that the relationship to age could be described as abdominal circumference = 82 + 0.3 x age a) What is the analysis that produces such a formula called? b) At what age is the average abdominal circumference 100 cm?

Read the executive summary thoroughly and attempt the questions given below:The prevailing of fast food consumption and obesity in Iranian student is high. Fast food consumptionwas associate with abdominal obesity based on WHR, but did not has related to general obesity basedon BMI. In an analytical cross-sectional study, 300 students were selected random from the twolargest universities in Qom, center of Iran, studying in medical and basic sciences fields in 2015. Isuccessfully collected the data by a modified version of NELSON’S fast food questionnaire andanthropometric measures including Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) and Body Mass Index (BMI). Chi-square,independent t-test, and multivariate logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. I want toestimate the prevalence of fast food consumption and to assess its association with abdominal andgeneral obesity. My results has shown that, 72.4% (67.4% in females vs 80.7% in males) had at leastone type of fast food consumption in the…

(PLEASE HELP WITH 1 AND 2) The National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS) was conducted to provide probability-based data on motorcycle helmet use in the United States. The survey was conducted by sending observers to randomly selected roadway sites where they collected data on motorcycle helmet use, including the number of motorcyclists wearing a Department of Transportation (DOT)-compliant helmet (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website, January 7, 2010). Sample data consistent with the most recent NOPUS are shown below. Answer questions 8 -10. Type of Helmet Region DOT-Compliant Noncompliant Northeast 96 62 Midwest 86 43 South 92 49 West 76 16 Total 350 170 (Hint: The above table is a cross-tabulation, but the right margin is missing. You will need to calculate the total number of motorcyclists for each region as well as the total number of motorcyclists of all four regions.) 1. What is the…
Your friend - an artist - has asked you to help her determine how many paintings sized 50x150cm she should paint for sale. She's deciding between one, two, three, or four paintings. Your friend sells the paintings for 300 monetary units each. She spends 8 hours on each painting (1 hour of work = 15 monetary units). Additionally, each painting incurs an extra cost of 40 monetary units (for canvas, backing, paints, brushes, sprays). Based on past data, you estimate that with a probability of 0.2, there will be no potential buyers; with a probability of 0.2, there will be one potential buyer; with a probability of 0.2, there will be two potential buyers; with a probability of 0.3, there will be three potential buyers; with a probability of 0.1, there will be four potential buyers. Assume that if there are fewer paintings produced than potential buyers, some (randomly selected) potential buyers will remain without a painting; otherwise, all potential buyers will purchase exactly one…

A regression of average weekly earnings (AWE, measured in dollars) on age(measured in years) using a random sample of college-educated full-timeworkers aged 25–65 yields the following: AWE = 696.7 + 9.6 X Age, R2 = 0.023, SER = 624.1.a. Explain what the coefficient values 696.7 and 9.6 mean.b. The standard error of the regression (SER) is 624.1. What are the unitsof measurement for the SER? (Dollars? Years? Or is SER unit-free?)c. The regression R2 is 0.023. What are the units of measurement for theR2? (Dollars? Years? Or is R2 unit-free?)d. What does the regression predict will be the earnings for a 25-year-oldworker? For a 45-year-old worker?e. Will the regression give reliable predictions for a 99-year-old worker?Why or why not?f. Given what you know about the distribution of earnings, do youthink it is plausible that the distribution of errors in the regressionis normal? (Hint: Do you think that the distribution is symmetric orskewed? What is the smallest value of earnings,…

The Struthers Wells Corporation employs more than 10,000 white-collar workers in its sales offices and manufacturing facilities in the United States, Europe, and Asia. A sample of 300 U.S. workers revealed 120 would accept a transfer to a location outside the United States. On the basis of these findings, write a brief memo to Ms. Wanda Carter, Vice President of Human Services, regarding all white-collar workers in the firm and their willingness to relocate. As a result of these sample findings, we can conclude that what percentage of the white-collar workers would transfer outside the U.S.?
UBC coaching center has two branches in Dhaka: one in Dhanmondi (Branch A) and another one in Mohammadpur (Branch B). To understand their students' performance, the coaching center conducts the same test in both branches. A sample of 8 students have been selected from branches A and B respectively, and the following table shows data on their performance. Use appropriate non-parametric methods on the data to find out whether there is a statistically significant correlation between the ranks of the students’ performance of the two branches.?
