1 The results below are based on a sample of 20 employees selected to study the relationship between income (Y, in $1,000) and four variables: Age (X1, in years), work experience (X2,in years), number of years of education (X3), and number of past jobs (X4). Find the lower end point in a 90% confidence interval for the change in the mean salary in dollars, for a unit change in number of past jobs, assuming that the other predictors remain unchanged. Note that normality is assumed for the multiple regression model.

Fewer young people are driving. In 1983, 87% of 19-year-olds had a driver's license. Twenty-five years later that percentage had dropped to 75% (University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute website, April 7, 2012). Suppose these results are based on a random sample of 1200 19-year-olds in 1983and again in 2008. a. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error and the internal estimate of the number of 19-year old drivers in 19SS? b. At 95 6 confidence, what is the margin of error and the interval estimate of the number of 19-year old drivers in 2008? c.Is the margin of error the same in parts (a) and (b)? Why or why not?
During the 2009 holiday season, 436 randomly sampled American adults were surveyed regarding their average spending on Black Friday. A 95% confidence interval based on this sample is ($80.31,$89.11). (c) Determine the sample mean x and the sample standard deviation s of the sample. (d) Which would be the confidence level corresponding to an interval ($81.27,$88.15) for the data found in (c)? (e) If the values of the sample mean and sample standard deviation found in (c) do not change, find the sample size N for which a 99% confidence interval would have a margin of error smaller than 5.

Body Mass Index: In a survey of adults with diabetes, the average body mass index (BMI) in a sample of 1928 women was 31.30 with a standard deviation of 0.3. The BMI in a sample of 1559 men was 30.50, with a standard deviation of 0.6. Part 1 of 2 (a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference in the mean BMI between women and men with diabetes. Let H, denote the mean BMI for women with diabetes. Use the TI-84 calculator and round the answers to two decimal places. A 99% confidence interval for the difference in the mean BMI between women and men with diabetes is Part: 1 / 2 Part 2 of 2 (b) Does the confidence interval contradict the claim that the mean BMI is the same for both men and women with diabetes? The confidence interval (Choose one) this claim.
In a large scale study of energy conservation in single family homes, 20 homes were randomly selected from homes built in a housing development in southern England. Ten of the houses, randomly selected from the 20 houses selected for the study, were constructed with standard levels of insulation (70 mm of roof insulation and 50 mm of insulation in the walls). The other 10 houses were constructed with extra insulation (120 mm of roof insulation and 100 mm of insulation in the walls). Each house was heated with a gas furnace and energy consumption was monitored for eight years. The data shown below give annual gas consumption in MWh for each of the 20 houses.

Bhfldence interval for the given data. A state university wants to increase its retention rate of 4% for graduating students from the previous year. After implementing several new programs during the last two years, in 2004 the university reevaluated its retention rate using a random sample of 391 students and found the retention rate at 5%. Create a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students (in 2004) who had been retained. O A Based on the data, we are 95% confident the proportion of students in 2004 who had been retained is between 1.96% and 7.05%. O B. Based on the data, we are 95% confident the proportion of students in 2004 who had been retained is between 2.84% and 7.16%. OC.
