The following results are from data where the dependent variable is EXPENSE FEES, the independent variables are SAFETY RATING, PERFORMANCE, and LOAD which is a dummy variable = 1 for load funds and = 0 for no-load funds. a) Complete the results: Based on the regression results: b) What is the estimated regression equation? c) How much of the variation in expense fees is explained by the regressors?

In building an arena, steel bars with a mean ultimate tensile strength of 400 Megapascal (MPa) with a variance of 81 MPa were delivered by the manufactured. The project engineer tested 50 steel bars and found out that the mean ultimate tensile strength is 390 MPa. The decision for the extension of the contract with the manufacturer depends on the engineer. Test the hypothesis whether there is no significant difference between the two means using a two-tailed with a=0.01
1. A textile company is interested in knowing if there is a difference in the breaking strength offour different kinds of thread. A test was conducted where five measurements (in ounces) weretaken for each kind of thread. Dummy variables were created named threada, threadb, andthreadc, which indicated if a strength reading was obtained on thread a, b, or c, respectively. Aregression analysis was performed with breaking strength as the dependent variable and threada,threadb, and threadc as independent variables, the results are attached at the end of the sheet. a) Write the linear model for the regression analysis, give the F statistic and P valuefor the test of equality of breaking strength means for the four threads, and state your conclusionfor the test using alpha = .05. b) Use the printout from the regression analysis to give estimates of the mean breakingstrength for each of the four thread groups. c) On the regression analysis printout on the row with information about threadb…
A researcher notes that there seems to be a difference in the prevalence of individuals who are medication adherent and have high levels of education along with a high health literacy and the prevalence of individuals who are not medication adherent and have low levels of education along with a low health literacy.

The director of an obesity clinic in a large northwestern city believes that drinking soft drinks contribute to obesity in children. To determine whether a relationship exists between these two variables, she conducts the following pilot study. Eight- 12-year-old male volunteers are randomly selected from children attending a local junior high school. Parents of the children are asked to monitor the number of soft drinks consumed by their child over a one week period. The children are weighed at the end of the week and their weights converted into body mass index (BMI) values. The BMI is a common index used to measure obesity and takes into account both height and weight. An individual is considered obese if they have a BMI value 30. The following data or collected: child. # of soft drinks consumed BMI 1 3 20 2 1 18 3…
An aircraft company wanted to predict the number of worker-hours necessary to finish the design of a new plane. Relevant explanatory variables were thought to be the plane’s top speed, its weight, and the number of parts it had in common with other models built by the company. A sample of 27 of the company’s planes was taken, and the following model was estimated:y = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + β3x3 + εwherey = design effort, in millions of worker-hoursx1 = plane’s top speed, in miles per hourx2 = plane’s weight, in tonsx3 = percentage number of parts in common with other modelsThe estimated regression coefficients were as follows:b1 = 0.661 b2 = 0.065 b3 = -0.018and the estimated intercept was 2.0.Predict design effort for a plane with a top speed of Mach 1.0, weighing 7 tons, and having 50% of itsparts in common with other models.

A random sample of those living in age-integrated communities reported 1.58 interactions per day. Is the difference between the two senior citizen groups significant? Please provide t critical, t obtained and your decision. Retirement Community 1 Retirement Community 2 Mean1 = 1.42 Mean2 = 1.58 s1 = 0.10 s2 = 0.78 N1 = 43 N2 = 37
The director of marketing at Vanguard Corporation believes that sales of the company's Bright Side laundry detergent (S) are related to Vanguard's own advertising expenditures (A), as well as the combined advertising expenditures of its three biggest rival detergents (R).The marketing director collects 36 weekly observations on S, A, and R . Vanguard's marketing director is comfortable using parameter estimates that are statistically significant at the 10 percent level or better. Give the specific statistical tool that can be used to this problem.
15.A manufacturer is testing its new grain moisture measurement techniques and sampled out 4 moisture meters (Gwon1, Gwon3, Kett, heating) and observed the slope of their measured moisture contents compared to standard heating technique at 3 trials each as shown in the table. *see attached table C. Now supposed you were asked to determine which means are different from the rest, you conduct Fisher’s least significant difference test at 10% alpha level. Find critical t value from the t-distribution table, indicate input arguments used. What is the LSD? Check if means of Gwon3 (slope) is significantly different from heating.
“This paper reports the prevalence of obesity in the US based on World Health Organization’s (WHO) classification of obesity. It also reports the prevalence of individuals in the general population who use dietary modifications and/or exercise to lose weight. The main objective of this paper is to assess the relationship between obesity status, HRQL, dietary modifications, and exercise…Responses to the HRQL questions were used as dependent variables…by dichotomizing the number of reported days with poor physical health…into ≤ 14 days and > 14 days.” (Hassan et al., 2003, pp. 1227-1228) The odds ratios that result from the logistic regression defined in part (a) are: Nonoverweight: Reference Overweight: 1.08 (0.99-1.17) Obese: 1.21 (1.09-1.33) Severely Obese: 1.87 (1.64-2.12) Provide a conclusion. Be sure to include a discussion of statistical inference.
A company has two chemist, Mr. Morris and Mr. Logan to produce their drinks. Mr. John, their boss, is not pleased with Mr. Logan’s attitude to work, so he is contemplating firing Mr. Logan andkeeping Mr. Morris only to perform this job. The problem, however, is that Mr. Logan seems to produce a higher quality drink whenever he oversees production when compared to Mr. Morris. Before making a final decision, Mr. John decided to collect data measuring the quality of different batches ofdrinks produced by Mr. Morris and Mr. Logan to make a better-informeddecision. The results, measured on a quality scale, are listed below: Name Average Standard Deviation Sample Size Mr. Logan 98 1 8 Mr. Morris 94 4 10 a) Based on this data above, advise Mr. John whether Mr. Logan isbetter at making the signature sauce than Mr. Morris by usinghypothesis testing – use the critical value approach with a level ofsignificance at 5%.
A recent study examined the effects of carbon monoxide exposure on a group of construction workers. The following table presents the numbers of workers who reported various symptoms, along with the shift (morning, evening, or night) that they worked. Morning Shift Evening Shift Night Shift Influenza 19 12 17 Headache 15 33 6 Weakness 12 14 7 Shortness of Breath 6 10 7 Send data to Excel Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the =α0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude? H0: The shift and reported symptoms are/are not independent. H1: The shift and reported symptoms are/are not independent. This hypothesis test is a left tailed/right tailed/two tailed test.
