A clinical trial is being conducted in order to determine the efficacy of a new drug that will be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. The efficacy of the medication will not only be determined by the physical improvement of symptoms but will also be determined by using a blood test to examine the concentration of c-reactive protein 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 2.0 mg/d and if the standard deviation for c-reactive protein concentrations among arthritis patients was previously documented as 7 mg/dl, how many patients should be recruited for each group of individuals in the study, assuming a 95% confidence interval will be used to quantify the mean differences between the control group and the treatment group? A. n for treatment group = 95 and n for control group = 95 B. n treatment group = 48 and control group = 48 C. n treatment group = 47 and control = 48 D. n treatment group = 48…
In a study of the lung function of children, the volume of air exhaled under force in one second is called FEV1. (FEV1 stands for forced expiratory volume in one second.) Measurements were made on a group of children each year for two years. A linear model was fit to predict this year’s FEV1 as a function of last year’s FEV1 (in liters), the child’s gender (0 = Male, 1 = Female), the child’s height (in m), and the ambient atmospheric pressure (in mm). To try to improve the prediction of FEV1, additional independent variables are included in the model. These new variables are Weight (in kg), the product (interaction) of Height and Weight, and the ambient temperature (in °C). The following MINITAB output presents results of fitting the model FEV1 = β0 + β1 Last FEV1 + β2 Gender + β3 Height + β4 Weight + β5 Height · Weight + β6 Temperature + β7 Pressure + ε a) The F statistic is? b) How many degrees of freedom does the F statistic have? c) Find the P-value for the F statistic. Is the…
A car dealer wants to estimate the price of a used car based on the age of the car and the mileage. Based on a sample of 20 cars, she determines the sample regression equation that predicts price taxes on the basis of the age (in years) of the number of miles is Price=21,510-1230Age-0.035 Miles (a) If the age of the car was fixed and the mileage was increased by 10,000, would the price increase or decrease and by how much? (b) Predict the selling price of a five-year-old car with 65,000 miles. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

Two types of medical devices used for knee replacement are being studied to see if the type of knee replacement used affects the rate of infection for a specific bacterial infection. The infection rate for a specific bacterial infection after surgery for device A is 0.0043. The rate for the same bacterial infection is 0.0121 for device B. How does the risk of developing the bacterial infection in individuals using device B compare to the risk of developing the bacterial infection in individuals using device A?
The correlation between two variables x and y is –0.6. If we used a regression line to predict y using x, what percent of the variation in y would be explained?
You are recently promoted as the chief traffic management officer of a major city in the country. Based on recent data, you learned that one of the leading causes of road accidents is over speeding. In your desire to minimize road accidents, you went out to observe how traffic management rules are implemented on the streets. Your attention was caught by a fast - moving car that seemed to be breaking the speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour(km/hr.), and so you followed it along the highway. After a short time, the driver of the car noticed you and started to slow down. Eventually, he stopped on the side of the road. Supposed the speed of the car had been noted during this time and is modeled by the quadratic equation y = 3x² + 17x - 20, where y represents the speed of the car in km/hr. and x represents the number of minutes after you started following the car. How long did it take for the car to be under surveillance before it could finally stop on the side of…

drilling down beneath a lake in alaska yields chemical evidence of past changes in climate. biological silicon, left by the skeletons of single celled creatures called diatoms, is a measure of the abundance of life in the lake. a rather complex variable based on the ratio of certain isotopes relative to ocean water gives an indirect measure of moisture, mostly from snow. as we drill down, we look further into the past, here is a scatterplot of data from 2300 to 12000 years ago

A study in the univeristy of massachusetts amherst published in the may 2007 journal of marriage and family found that married women do about one fewer hour of housework a week for every $7500 they earn as a full time workers outside of the home, regardless of their husband's income A) what would be the numerical value of the slope coefficient in the regression model that predicts womens housework hours from their income? what does the sign of the slope (positive or negative) tell us about the relationship between these variables B) Suppose Lynette's salary is $30,000 greater than Gabriells. what would you predict the difference in hours of housework they each do.
