Suppose that the LFPR in 1968 was 0.58 (or 58 percent). On the basis of the regression results given above, what is the mean LFPR in 1972? Establish a 95% confidence interval for the mean prediction.
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?
a. interpret the corresponding 95% confidence intervals for both Birth weight and Age.
b. What is the predicted average SBP of an infant born with birth weight 8lbs (128oz) measured at 3 days old? c. Calculate the Pearson correlation between Age and Birth weight, and test if this correlation is significant at the 0.05 level. Does this answer surprise you, why or why not?

- A researcher is conducting a study to determine the mean trough dosage of medication for a population. Assume a previous study was conducted for the same medication and the mean trough dose was found to be 490 mg with a standard deviation of 30 mg. If the researcher wants to be 95% confident the true mean trough dosage of the medication is within 10 mg of the true mean trough dosage, what sample size is needed if the study is predicted to have an 76% retention rate?arrow_forwardA doctor wants to estimate the mean HDL cholesterol of all 20 to 29 year old females. How many subjects are needed to estimate the mean HDL cholesterol within 2 points with 99% confidence assuming s=11.2 based on earlier studiess?

- It is believed that the percent of convicted felons who have a history of juvenile delinquency is 70%. Isthere evidence to support the claim that the actual percentage is more than 70% if out of 200 convictedfelons, we find that 154 have a history of juvenile delinquency? Set the level of significance at � = 0.05d) Sketch the z curve indicating the z test statistic and the p-value.e) Should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis based on the p-value obtained in the previous part?Why?f) State your conclusion from the test.arrow_forwardSo I generated this table with stat program, which is from a regression of temperature (in °C) on atmospheric concentrationof carbon dioxide (CO2), in ppm. Can you please construct a 95% confidence interval for the slope of the regression equation? Also, what are the chances of seeing a linear relationship at least as strong as observed from these data, when in fact there was none in the population?
