1. Researchers are interested if the distribution of values for the change in HB(Hemoglobin) follows the pattern where 1/3 of the time the decrease is less than orequal to 1 (HB 2 -1), 1/3 of the time the decrease is between 1 and 2 (-2 Anemia (low healthy blood cells or hemoglobin) has an important role in exercise performance.However, the direct link between rapid changes of hemoglobin and exercise performance isstill unknown. A study investigated 18 patients with a blood disorder (beta-thalassemia).Participants in the study performed an exercise test before and the day after receiving a bloodtransfusion.

Suppose you have a joint distribution of x and y where • x has population mean ug and population variance o? • y has population mean ly and population variance o, and the population covariance between them is Ery. The population Pearson correlation is then given by Ery OxJy We collect n pairs of data, (X;, Yi), i = 1,.. , n. Each pair is an independent draw from this distribution. (a) Suppose we estimate our population covariance with n 1 (x; – Ha)(yi – µy). i=1 Is this an unbiased estimator of the population covariance? Show why or why not. (b) Suppose we estimate our correlation with (xi – Ha)(Yi – Hy) - n i=1 Ox0y Is this an unbiased estimator of the population correlation? Show why or why not. =WI
.A new, miracle diabetes drug that diminishes major symptoms of diabetes has been approved by the FDA. Health care professionals and researchers believe that the new drug will prolong lifespan of diabetes patients. If the population is in steady state and the incidence is constant, what will the effect of this new drug be on the prevalence of diabetes in the population? Explain.
13. A standard logistic regression models the effect of age (20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60- 69) on experience of back pain (modeling yes vs. no). If age is included as a continuous covariate (with values 1, 2, 3, etc., as scores) and the regression parameter associated with age is estimated to be 0.21 with standard error of 0.08, what are the odds of backpain for a 35-year-old (e.g., in the 30-39 range) relative to the odds for a 25-year-old? Enter your answer to two numbers after the decimal place.
2. Suppose that in a certain chemical process the reaction time y (hour) is related to the temperature x (° F) in the chamber in which the reaction takes place according to the simple linear regression model with equation y= 5 - 0.01x and the standard deviation o=0.075. a. What is the expected reaction time when temperature is 250° F? b. Suppose that five observations are made independently on reaction time, each one for a temperature of 250° F. What is the probability that all five times are between 2.4 and 2.6 hours?
1. It has been noted that there is a positive correlation between the U.S. economy and the height of women's hemlines (distance from the floor of the bottom of a skirt or dress) with shorter skirts corresponding to economic growth and lower hemlines to periods of economic recession. Comment on the conclusion that economic factors cause hemlines to rise and fall. # of Absences (in weeks) Exam Grade 1 2 345 23 014 90 85 95 92 80
What is indicated by a Pearson correlation of r = +1.00 between X and Y? Question 1 options: Each time X increases, there is a perfectly predictable increase in Y Every change in X causes a change in Y Every increase in X causes an increase in Y All of the other 3 choices occur with a correlation of +1.00.

(d) Does a linear relation exist between the speed at which a ball is hit and the distance the ball travels? The variables speed at which the ball is hit and the distance the ball travels are positively associated because r is positive and the absolute value of the correlation coefficient is greater than the critical value ( ) (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
