Consider the following scenario for Questions 6 through 9:
The City of Bellmore’s police chief believes that maintenance costs on high-mileage police vehicles are much higher than those costs for low-mileage vehicles. If high-mileage vehicles are costing too much, it may be more economical to purchase more vehicles. An analyst in the department regresses yearly maintenance costs (Y) for a sample of 200 police vehicles on each vehicle’s total mileage for the year (X). The regression equation finds:
Y = $50 + .030X with a r2 of .90
What is the IV? What is the DV?
If the mileage increases by one mile, what is the predicted increase in maintenance costs?
If a vehicle’s mileage for the year is 50,000, what is its predicted maintenance costs?
What does an r2 of .90 tell us? Is this a strong or weak correlation? How can you tell?

Use the following description for Questions 5-6.
Three different washing solutions are being compared to study their effectiveness in retarding bacteria growth in five-gallon milk containers.
The analysis is done in a laboratory, and only three trials can be run on any day. Because days could represent a potential source of
variability, the experimenter decides to use a model that reduces experimental error (and hence increases precision) by grouping days into
blocks. Observations are taken for four days, values in table below show measurement of effectiveness (bacteria growth rate after using the
solution) for each day and solution type.

- When companies are designing a new product, one of the steps typically taken is to see how potential buyers react to a picture or prototype of the proposed product. The product-development team for a notebook computer company has shown picture A to a large sample of potential buyers and picture B to another, asking each person to indicate what they "would expect to pay" for such a product. The data resulting from the two pictures are provided in file (sheet 6). Using the 0.05 level of significance, determine whether the prototypes might not really differ in terms of the price that potential buyers would expect to pay.
