You are testing the null hypothesis that there is no linear relationship between two variables, X and Y. From your sample of n=18, you determine that b1=4.6 and Sb1=1.9. c. Based on your answers to (a) and (b), what statistical decision should you make? d. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population slope, β1.

A researcher is investigating the relationship between the length, in centimeters, and weight, in grams, of pineapples. The researcher will select a random sample of 15 pineapples from grocery stores in a region and construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line, where length is the explanatory variable and weight is the response variable. When computing a confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line, which of the following is not a condition that must be checked? The true relationship between length and weight is linear. A The standard deviation for weight does not vary with length. B The values of weight are approximately normally distributed at each value of length. C The sum of the residuals is zero. D The observations are independent. E
The tensile strengths of two types of materials were investigated by collecting 16 samples of each material (totally 32 samples).The sample mean for material 1 was 423.08 (psi), and for material 2 was 424.7 (psi). The samplestandard deviation of the difference in tensile strengths was sD = 2.8 (psi). Is there sufficientevidence to conclude that two types of materials have the same tensile strength? Formulate andtest the appropriate null H0 and alternative hypotheses H1 to verify the claim at level α = 0.01
The store manager of a local supermarket is interested in determining the relationship between the amount of money spent by customers and the size of their household. Using monthly data from all months in 2018, the following model was estimated: Y = 0.01 + 38.61 X Error sum of squares: 521.6 Sum of squares of X: 2323.3 Determine the lower limit of the 99% confidence interval for the slope correct to two decimal places.
In a sample of n=19 lichen specimens, the researchers found the mean and standard deviation of the amount of the radioactive element, cesium-137, that was present to be 0.009 and 0.006 microcurie per milliliter, respectively. Suppose the researchers want to increase the sample size in order to estimate the mean μ to within 0.002 microcurie per milliliter of its true value, using a 95% confidence interval.
A researcher was interested in the relationship between the number of texts sent in a day and the number of e-mails sent in a day by employees at a certain company. Using 15 data values, a 90 percent confidence interval for the slope of a regression model was found to be (2.31,3.47). The researcher claims that the interval would have been narrower with a different sample size if all other things remained the same. Which of the following sample sizes would make the researcher’s claim NOT true?
The Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) between two variables, X and Y, is calculated to be 0.8. Using a two-tailed hypothesis test with a significance level of 0.05, what is the conclusion about the relationship between X and Y?
A business school is conducting a study to investigate whether a students’ scores on a placement test can be used to predict students’ starting salaries. Based on a random sample of 200 graduates of the business school, a 98 percent confidence interval for the slope of the linear regression line relating placement scores and starting salary is calculated to be (315,336). Assume the conditions for inference are met. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the confidence interval? There is a 98 percent probability that the slope of the population regression line is between $315 per point and $336 per point. A Ninety-eight percent of the time, a 10-point increase in placement score will result in an average increase between $3,150 and $3,360 in starting salary. B We are 98 percent confident that a 10-point increase in placement score will result in a predicted increase in starting salary of between $3,150 and $3,360. C We are 98 percent…
Over the past 30 years, the sample standard deviations of the rates of return for stock X and Stock Y were 0.20 and 0.12, respectively. The sample covariance between the returns of X and Y is 0.0096. When testing whether the correlation coefficient differs from zero, the value of the test statistic is t28 = 2.31. At the 5% significance level, the critical value is t0.025,28 = 2.048. The conclusion to the hypothesis test is A. to reject H0; we can conclude that the correlation coefficient differs from zero B. to reject H0; we cannot conclude that the correlation coefficient differs from zero C. do not reject H0; we can conclude that the correlation coefficient differs from zero D. do not reject H0; we cannot conclude that the correlation coefficient differs from zero
A quality control expert at a local dairy claims that its cartoons contain more than 64oz of milk a sample of 15 cartoons reveals a mean of 65 and 1.1 oxs respectively. At the 1% level, does the appropriate hypothesis support his claim? find and interpret the p value
A 30 month study is conducted to determine the difference in rates of accidents per month between two departments in an assembly plant. If a sample of 12 from the first department averaged 12.3 accidents per month with a standard deviation of 3.5, and a sample of 9 from the second department averaged 7.6 accidents per month with standard deviation of 3.4, find: The t-value for a 95% confidence interval is:
In the February 20th issue of the East Daily Times, it was reported that n = 418 insured patientswere surveyed on their opinions about insurance rates. Of the 418 surveyed, Y = 280 blamedrising insurance rates on large court settlements against doctors. With 95% confidence, estimate the parameter p, that is, the proportion of all insured patients who blame rising insurance rateson large court settlements against doctors.
A survey of 28 employed workers found that the correlation coefficient between the number of years of post-secondary education and current annual income in dollars is -0.38. The researchers hypothesize a positive relationship between number of years of post-secondary education and annual income. What can the researchers conclude with α = 0.05? a) Obtain/compute the appropriate values to make a decision about H0. critical value= test statistic= b) effect size= C) 1)There is a significant positive relationship between years of post-secondary education and current annual income. 2)There is a significant negative relationship between years of post-secondary education and current annual income. 3) There is no significant relationship between years of post-secondary education and current annual income.
