Chapter 3, Problem 15CRE

One factor in the development of tennis elbow, a malady that strikes fear into the hearts of all serious players of that sport, is the impact-induced vibration of the racket-and-arm system at ball contact. It is well known that the likelihood of getting tennis elbow depends on various properties of the racket used. Consider the accompanying scatterplot of x = racket resonance frequency (in hertz) and y = sum of peak-to-peak accelerations (a characteristic of arm vibration, in meters per second per second) for n = 23 different rackets (“Transfer of Tennis Racket Vibrations into the Human Forearm,” Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise [1992]: 1134–1140). Discuss interesting features of the data and of the scatterplot.

Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l? Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.
Suppose the table below displays the estimation results from the Logit model Regressor Coefficient (standard error) (log)Income(X1) 0.48 (0.12) Age(X2) 0.03 (0.01) -0.008 (0.02) constant 8.07 (1.16) where the heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors are reported along with the coefficient estimates. How do you interpret the coefficient on log income? Is it significantly different from zero? What is the log odds-ratio for an individual with log income equal to 10 and age equal to 40? Explain what it means.
A researcher hypothesizes that in a certain country the net annual growth of private sector purchases of government bonds, B, is positively related to the nominal rate of interest on the bonds, NI, and negatively related to the rate of inflation Π: Bt = a0 + a1NIt + a2Π t + ut Note that it may be hypothesized that B depends on the real rate of interest on bonds, R, where R = NI – Π.  Using a sample of 56 annual observations, s/he estimates the following equations:   (1)        Bt = 0.43 + 0.90NIt - 0.97Πt      R21 = 0.962, SSR1 = 2.20, QRESET(F1,52) = 16.6                                (3.58)   (8.80)    (-1.05)    (2)        Bt = 0.44 + 0.94Rt                   R22 = 0.960, SSR2 = 2.22, QRESET(F1,53) = 0.9                                (9.70)   (16.7)        (3)        Bt = 0.44 + 1.14NIt                  SSR3 = 9.20, QRESET(F1,53) = 59.9                                (8.84)   (36.1)    (4)        NIt = 0.08 + 0.94Πt                  R24 = 0.997, SSR4 = 0.18,  QRESET(F1,53) = 1.4…

    In a typical multiple linear regression model where x1 and x2 are non-random regressors, the expected value of the response variable y given x1 and x2 is denoted by E(y | 2,, X2). Build a multiple linear regression model for E (y | *,, *2) such that the value of E(y | x1, X2) may change as the value of x2 changes but the change in the value of E(y | X1, X2) may differ in the value of x1 . How can such a potential difference be tested and estimated statistically?

    The article “Withdrawal Strength of Threaded Nails” (D. Rammer, S. Winistorfer, and D. Bender, Journal of Structural Engineering 2001:442–449) describes an experiment comparing the ultimate withdrawal strengths (in N/mm) for several types of nails. For an annularly threaded nail with shank diameter 3.76 mm driven into spruce-pine-fir lumber, the ultimate withdrawal strength was modeled as lognormal with μ = 3.82 and σ = 0.219. For a helically threaded nail under the same conditions, the strength was modeled as lognormal with μ = 3.47 and σ = 0.272. a) What is the mean withdrawal strength for annularly threaded nails? b) What is the mean withdrawal strength for helically threaded nails? c) For which type of nail is it more probable that the withdrawal strength will be greater than 50 N/mm? d) What is the probability that a helically threaded nail will have a greater withdrawal strength than the median for annularly threaded nails? e) An experiment is performed in which withdrawal…

    For some genetic mutations, it is thought that the frequency of the mutant gene in men increases linearly with age. If m1 is the frequency at age t1, and m2 is the frequency at age t2, then the yearly rate of increase is estimated by r = (m2 − m1)/(t2 − t1). In a polymerase chain reaction assay, the frequency in 20-year-old men was estimated to be 17.7 ± 1.7 per μgDNA, and the frequency in 40-year-old men was estimated to be 35.9 ± 5.8 per μg DNA. Assume that age is measured with negligible uncertainty.a) Estimate the yearly rate of increase, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.b) Find the relative uncertainty in the estimated rate of increase.
