The data in Table 7–6 were collected in a clinical trial to evaluate a new compound designed to improve wound healing in trauma patients. The new compound was com- pared against a placebo. After treatment for 5 days with the new compound or placebo, the extent of wound heal- ing was measured. Is there a difference in the extent of wound healing between the treatments? (Hint: Are treat- ment and the percent wound healing independent?) Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance. Can you please show how to do it in excel.

The table below lists measured amounts of redshift and the distances (billions of light-years) to randomly selected astronomical objects. There is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation, so it is reasonable to use the regression equation when making predictions. For the prediction interval, use a 90% confidence level with a redshift of 0.0126. Find the explained variation.
A regression model to predict Y, the state burglary rate per 100,000 people, used the following four state predictors: X₁ = median age,
X₂ = number of bankruptcies per 1.000 population, X3 = federal expenditures per capita (a leading predictor), and X4 = high school
graduation percentage.
