When the measure of spread is compared between two data sets, data set A has an interquartile range of 12, and data set B has an interquartile range of 23. How do the values of data set A compare to data set B? The values of data set A are about the same on average as the values of data set B. The values of data set A are more spread out compared to the values of data set B. The values of data set A are less spread out compared to the values of data set B. The values of data set A are less on average compared to the values of data set B.

Cellulon, a manufacturer of home insulation, wants to develop guidelines for builders and consumers on how the thickness of the insulation in the attic of a home and the outdoor temperature affect natural gas consumption. In the laboratory, it varied the insulation thickness and temperature. A few of the findings are: Monthly Natural Gas Consumption (cubic feet), Thickness of Insulation (inches), Outdoor Temperature (ºF), y x1 x2 30.3 6.0 40.0 24.2 12 40 27.9 8 49 On the basis of the sample results, the regression equation is: yˆy⁢^⁢ = 56.26 − 0.66x1 − 0.59x2 How much natural gas can homeowners expect to use per month if they install 6 inches of insulation and the outdoor temperature is 40 degrees F? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) What effect would installing 7 inches of insulation instead of 6 have on the monthly natural gas consumption (assuming the outdoor temperature remains at 40 degrees F)? (Round your answers…
Elaine is interested in determining if men are more satisfied in their jobs than women in the healthcare industry. She administers a job satisfaction questionnaire to 20 men and 20 women working in hospital administration. Her grouping variable is gender and dependent variable is job satisfaction. The job satisfaction scale consists of 8 items measured using a 5-point rating scale. A higher score on this scale would indicate high job satisfaction. The maximum score that can be obtained on the scale is 40. We can assume that job satisfaction scores are normally distributed. Use the appropriate T test with a significance level of 0.05 to test the hypothesis. Research Question Do the mean job satisfaction scores differ for men and women working in the hospital administration department? Hypothesis The mean job satisfaction scores do not differ for men and women working in the hospital administration department. Compute an independent sample t test on these data. Report…
The authors of a paper compared two different methods for measuring body fat percentage. One method uses ultrasound, and the other method uses X-ray technology. Body fat percentages using each of these methods for 16 athletes (a subset of the data given in a graph that appeared in the paper) are given in the accompanying table. You can assume that the 16 athletes who participated in this study are representative of the population of athletes. Athlete X-ray Ultrasound 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 5.00 8.00 9.25 12.00 17.25 29.50 5.50 6.00 8.00 13.50 9.25 11.00 12.00 14.00 17.00 18.00 4.25 4.75 9.00 11.75 17.00 27.50 6.50 6.75 8.75 14.50 9.50 12.00 12.25 15.50 18.00 18.25 Use these data to estimate the difference in mean body fat percentage measurement for the two methods. Use a confidence level of 95%. (Use μ = MX-ray-Multrasound. Round your answers to three decimal places.) × % Interpret the interval in context. O There is a 95% chance that the true mean body fat percentage…
Several states have argued that the 65-mph speed limit has no justification and have refused to enforce it. The federal Department of Transportation (DOT) believes that the 65-mph limit saves lives. To illustrate its contention, the department regressed the number of traffic fatalities (Y) last year in a state on the state’s population (X1), the number of days of snow cover (X2), and the average speed of all cars (X3). The results are shown below. Table 10: Model Summary Model R R Square Adjusted R Square Std. Error of the Estimate 1 .821 a .780 .613 3.258 a.
