Mental health again Refer to the previous exercise.
- a. Report the test statistic and P-value for testing H0: β1 = β2 = 0.
- b. State the alternative hypothesis that is supported by the result in part a.
- c. Does the result in part a imply that necessarily both life events and SES are needed in the model? Explain.
13.28 Regression for mental health A study in Alachua County, Florida, investigated an index of mental health impairment, which had
- a. Find the 95% confidence interval for β1.
- b. Explain why the interval in part a means that an increase of 100 units in life events corresponds to anywhere from a 4- to 17-unit increase in mean mental impairment, controlling for SES. (This lack of precision reflects the small sample size.)
y = mental impairment, x1 = life events index, and x2 = socioeconomic status

The Mayor of texas whom is partners with a local agriculturalist wants to know how the amount of fertilizer and the amount of water given to plants affect their growth. The results were inputted into MINITAB so as to fit the model
a) Write out the regression equation
b) What is the sample size used in this investigation?
c) Determine the values of *, ** and ***, ****
d) Conduct a hypothesis test, at the 5% level of significance, to determine whether ? is significant.
e) What would be the growth of the plant if 4g of fertilizer and 7g of ater was given to it daily?
f) Carry out an F -test at the 1% significance level to determine whether the model is significant
Refer to Exercise 12.12. In the plot of the data, airport 20 had a much larger revenue than any of the other 21 airports.
Replot the three scatterplots with the data from airport 20 deleted. Does there appear to be any relationship among revenue and the two explanatory variables in this data set?
Fit a first-order regression model relating revenue to distance and population size. Comment on the quality of the fit of the model to the data. Is revenue related to distance from hub and population size once airport 20 is deleted from the data?
What conclusions can be inferred from parts (a) and (b) about the importance of plotting the data and not just running models through a software program?
12.12 A regional airline transfers passengers from small airports to a larger regional hub airport. The airline’s data analyst was assigned to estimate the revenue (in thousands of dollars) generated by each of the 22 small airports based on two variables: the distance from each airport (in…
