Question One a) The University of the East Europe is interested in the overall performance of its students in the academic year 2020/2021. There were 1460 students registered for this academic year. The University decides to select a sample of 150 students from each of the 5 faculties- Science, Medicine, Law, Social Science and Humanities in proportion to the number of students in each faculty. Identify the population of interest for this scenario. ii. i. Identify the sampling technique used by the researcher. State one advantage and one disadvantage of the sampling technique described in the given scenario. If the medical faculty has 584 students registered, calculate how many medical students would be part of the sample of 150. iii. iv.
Scenario: The following model was fitted to data on gas mileage as a function of weight of vehicle and type of vehicle (sport utility vehicle, family sedan, subcompact). Model: MPG = 50 - 0.004WT - 8SUV - 3FS MPG =miles per gallon; WT=weight of vehicle; SUV=sport utility vehicle; FS=family sedan Answer the questions below. 1. Each pound of weight reduces fuel economy by MPG 2. Fuel economy is reduced by MPG for a sport utility vehicle 3. Fuel economy is reduced by MPG for a family sedan 4. For a subcompact car weighing 1000 pounds, what is the predicted fuel economy?
You are studying the effects of smoking by pregnant women on rates of asthma in their children. You collect data on the number of cigarettes smoked per day and whether or not the child developed asthma by the age of two. The data is below: Smoked 1-5 cigarettes per day --- 9.2% developed asthma Smoked 6-10 cigarettes per day --- 10.3% developed asthma Smoked 11-20 cigarettes per day -- 25% developed asthma Smoked 21-40 cigarettes per day --- 34.8% developed asthma Smoked 41-60 cigarettes per day --- 38.4% developed asthma In order to study the relationship between the number of cigarettes smoked by pregnant women per day and the percentage of their children developed asthma by the age of two using statistical knowledge, we convert the above data into the following format and see if we can obtain an adequate fit using linear regression. Average number of cigarettes smoked per day 3 8 Percentage of children developed asthma What is the value of the correlation coefficient? Г 15-5 30.5…
