Jensen Tire & Auto is in the process of deciding whether to purchase a maintenance contract for its new computer wheel alignment and balancing machine. Managers feel that maintenance expense should be related to usage, and they collected the following information on weekly usage (hours) and annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars).

#1) Develop the estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars) given the weekly usage (in hours). (Round your numerical values to two decimal places.)
#2) The expected expense of a machine being used 34 hours per week is $ hundred.
Suppose that, as part of a research methods class, Bailey was asked to write a summary of a research paper on the topic of the effects of oil contamination in soil on seed germination rates.
Identify the explanatory and the response variables.
Reviewers from the Oregon Evidence-Based Practice Center at the Oregon Health and Science University investigated the effectiveness of prescription drugs in assisting people to fall asleep and stay asleep (source: S. Carson, M.S. McDonagh, et al., “Drug class review: Newer drugs for insomnia,” Oregon Health and Science University, 2008, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Suppose a study of two drugs, Sonata and Ambien, was conducted and the resulting data are contained in a file titled Shuteye. The samples reflect an experiment in which individuals were randomly given the two brands of pills on separate evenings. Their time spent sleeping was recorded for each of the brands of sleeping pills.
(A) Does the experiment seem to have dependent or independent samples? Explain your reasoning.
(B) Do the data indicate that there is a statistical difference in the mean time spent sleeping for people using the two drugs? Test using alpha = 0.02. Conduct a statistical procedure to determine this.
