Touchstone conducted a study on the relationship between the estriol levels of pregnant women and the birth weights of their children. Their findings, “Urinary Tract Estriol: An Index of Placental Function,” were published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Vol. 85(1), pp. 1–9). The data from the study are provided on the WeissStats site, where estriol levels are in mg/24 hr and birth weights are in hectograms. a. Decide whether finding a regression line for the data is reasonable. If so, then also do parts (b)–(d). b. Obtain the coefficient of determination. c. Determine the percentage of variation in the observed values of the response variable explained by the regression, and interpret your answer. d. State how useful the regression equation appears to be for making predictions.arrow_forward

In a study by Zuckerman and Heneghan, hemodynamic stresses were measured on subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. An outcome variable of interest was the ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) measured in mm. A portion of the data appears in the following table. Baseline refers to a measurement taken 5 minutes after induction of anesthesia, and the term '5 minutes' refers to a measurement taken 5 minutes after baseline. Can we conclude that, on the basis of these data, among subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the average LVEDV levels change? Let a =.01.

Why does thecorrelation value of 0.94 not necessarily indicate that a linear model is the most appropriate model for therelationship between length of an aspen leaf and its surface area? (A) The value must be exactly 1 or to indicate a linear model is the most appropriate model. (B) The value must be 0 to indicate a linear model is the most appropriate model. (C) A causal relationship should be established first before determining the most appropriate model. (D) The value of 0.94 implies that only 88% of the data have a linear relationship. (E) Even with a correlation value of 0.94, it is possible that the relationship could still be better represented by a nonlinear model.arrow_forwardA methodological study had established values for the MIC on a scale that measured physical function: The MIC for improvement (higher scores) was 4.0, and the MIC for deterioration (lower scores) was 3.0.

- A study was done to investigate the relationship between amount of protix (a new protein-vitamin•-mineral supplement) org a fortified- vitamin rice, known as FVR, and the gain in weight of children. Ten randomly chosen sections of grade one pupils were fed with FVR containing protix; different amounts X of protix were used for the 10 sections. The increase in the weight of each child was measured after a given period. The average gain Y in weight for each section with a prescribed protix level x is as follows; Section(i) Protix(X) Gain(Y) Section(i) Protix(X) Gain(Y) 1 2 3 4 5 50 60 70 80 90 91.6 96.5 95.5 101.3 104.8 6 7 8 9 10 100 110 120 130 140 105.2 107.9 107.4 109.2 109.8 Compute the prediction equation to predict the gain in the weight of a child.arrow_forwardCaptopril is a drug designed to lower systolic blood pressure. When subjects were treated with this drug, their systolic blood pressure readings (in mm Hg) were measured before and after the drug was taken. Results are given in the accompanying table (based on data from “Essential Hypertension: Effect of an Oral Inhibitor of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme”, by MacGregor et al., BMJ, Vol. 2). Using a 0.01 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that captopril has an effect on systolic blood pressure? i) Use the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test to conduct the required test without using "wilcox.test" function in R. Please state the hypothesis, provide the p-value, and the conclusion in the context of the problem. ii) Use the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test to conduct the required test using "wilcox.test" function in R.
