Chapter 24, Problem 12P
One of your colleagues has designed a new transdermal patch to deliver insulin through the skin to diabetic patients in a controlled way, eliminating the need for painful injections. She hascollected the following data on the mass flux of insulin being delivered through the patch (and skin) as a function of time:
| Flux, Mg/cm2/h | Time, h | Flux, Mg/cm2/h | Time, h |
| 15 | 0 | 8 | 5 |
| 14 | 1 | 5 | 10 |
| 12 | 2 | 2.5 | 15 |

Before taking the plunge into videoconferencing, a company ran tests of its current internal computer network. The goal of the tests was to measure how
rapidly data moved through the network given the current demand on the network. Twenty files ranging in size from 20 to 100 megabytes (MB) were
transmitted over the network at various times of day, and the time to send the files (in seconds) recorded.

You study the relation between the log excess return on stock XYZ, denoted by Re XY Z,t, and the log excess return on the market portfolio, Re M,t, based on 193 monthly observations: R e XY Z,t = β1 + β2 R e M,t + uXY Z,t. You run this regression in R and obtain from the standard regression output the following parameter estimates and p-values (in squared brackets): Re XY Z,t = −0.3199 + 2.0262 Re M,t + uXY Z,t. [0.7689] [0.0001] (1) (a) Which econometric conclusions you can draw from the p-value of the intercept coefficient? In your answer, clearly explain the meaning of the p-value. Further, refer to the role of the significance level in the context of the test of significance approach, i.e., which steps of the test are (not) affected

Brine with a concentration of 3 grams of salt per liter flows into tank A at 5 liters per minute. The solution flows out of tank A into tank B at a rate of 5 liters per minute. Tank B is a 125 liter tank of initially pure water which receives the outflow from tank A, and the well-mixed solution flows out of tank B at 5 liters per minute.

- A number of studies have shown lichens (certain plants composed of an alga and a fungus) to be excellent bioindicators of air pollution. The article “The Epiphytic Lichen Hypogymnia physodes as a Biomonitor of Atmospheric Nitrogen and Sulphur Deposition in Norway” (Environ. Monitoring Assessment, 1993: 27–47) gives the following data (read from a graph) on x ¼ NO3 wet deposition (g N/m2 ) and y ¼ lichen N (% dry weight): (refer to chart) The author used simple linear regression to analyze the data. Use the accompanying MINITAB output to answer the following questions: a. What are the least squares estimates of b0 and b1? b. Predict lichen N for an NO3 deposition value of .5. c. What is the estimate of s? d. What is the value of total variation, and how much of it can be explained by the model relationship?arrow_forwardA manufacturer of cases for sound equipment requires drilling holes for metal screws. The drill bits wear out and must be replaced; there is expense not only in the cost of the bits but also for lost production. Engineers varied the rotation speed of the drill and measured the life- time y of four bits at each of five speeds.

Is there any evident outlier . Remove this observation and fit the regression model again. Is it improving the model farrow_forwardA park ranger is searching for bears in a region of the park where on average there are 12 bears per square mile. The bears are solitary independent creatures, so it is reasonable to assume that the numbers of bears in disjoint regions are independent unknowns and that the number expected in any region is proportional to the area of the region. The ranger can also assume that in a very tiny region, say a square inch, it is impossible to find more than one bear. How much area (in square miles) does he expect to have to search in order to find 15 bears?arrow_forward
- Suppose that a healthy population of some species is growing in a limited environment and that the current population P0 is fairly close to the carrying capacity M0. You might imagine a population of fish living in a freshwater lake in a wilderness area. Suddenly a catastrophe such as the Mount St. Helens volcanic eruption contaminates the lake and destroys a significant part of the food and oxygen on which the fish depend. The result is a new environment with a carrying capacity M1 considerably less than M0 and, in fact, less than the current population P0. Starting at some time before the catastrophe, sketch a “before-and-after” curve that shows how the fish population responds to the change in environment.arrow_forwardSuppose Tank A has 30 gallons of water containing 55 oz (ounces) of dissolved salt, Tank B has 20 gallons of water containing 26 oz of dissolved salt and Tank C has 50 gallons of water without any salt. Water with salt concentration 1 oz/gal flows into Tank A at a rate of 1.5 gal/min. Water flows in and out of tank A, B and C are as follows: Water with salt concentration 1 oz/gal flows into Tank A at a rate of 1.5 gal/min.Water flows from Tank A to Tank B at a rate of 3 gal/min.Water flows from Tank B to Tank A at a rate of 1.5 gal/min.Water flows from Tank B to Tank C at a rate of 3.5 gal/min.Water flows from Tank C to Tank B at a rate of 1 gal/min.Water drains from Tank C at a rate of 1.5 gal/min. a) Sketch the diagram that describe the above system. b) Determine the concentration of the brine inside each tank. c) Write the mathematical model that describe the above system.arrow_forwardConfirm that the total population in this model remains constant.arrow_forward
