A researcher recorded the number of e-mails received in a month and the number of online purchases made during that month for 50 people with an online presence. The resulting data were used to conduct a hypothesis test to investigate whether the slope of the population regression line relating number of e-mails received to number of online purchases is positive. What are the correct hypotheses for the test? Ho : B, =0 Ha : B, 40 Ho : B, = 0 Ha: B, >0 Ho : B, =0 Ha: B, <0 Ho : B, >0 H: B =0 D 9:16 AM 4/22/2021

A researcher conducts a standard multiple regression analysis to predict alcohol addiction as a function of the following predictors: loneliness (sr squared = .04), employment status (sr squared = .16), and self-efficacy (sr squared = .25). If there is no shared variance, the partial correlation squared for self-efficacy would be: a. .556 (i.e., .25 / .45) b. .50 (i.e., squareroot(.25)). c. .454 (i.e., .25 / .55) d. .313 (i.e., .25 / .80)
Using the latest in medical technology, an orthopedic doctor has developed a new surgical procedure that he believes is an improvement over the standard procedure. He wants to study whether the mean recovery time of patients who have the new procedure is less than the mean recovery time of patients who have the standard procedure. The doctor studies a random sample of 11 patients who have the new procedure and a random sample of 9 patients who have the standard procedure. (These samples are chosen independently.) The doctor records each patient's recovery time (in days). The patients who had the new procedure have a sample mean recovery time of 367.3 with a sample variance of 2851.8. The patients who had the standard procedure have a sample mean recovery time of 420.9 with a sample variance of 98.1. Assume that the two populations of recovery times are approximately normally distributed. Can the doctor conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the population mean of the…
A Data analytics professor wants to know whether level of college education influences the grade earned by students in his course. Last semester, 400 students completed his class: 150 freshmen, 100 sophomores, 100 juniors, and 50 seniors. At end of the semester, 80 students earned an A, 148 earned a B, and 172 earned a C. The distribution of grades is shown in the following table. Do a chi-square test at alpha=0.05. What is the null hypothesis for this test? A. The letter grades of the students are significantly different. B. The letter grades of the students are dependent of the level of college education. C. The letter grades of the students are identical. D. The letter grades of the students are independent of the level of college education.
The table below lists weights (carats) and prices (dollars) of randomly selected diamonds. Find the (a) explained variation, (b) unexplained variation, and (c) indicated prediction interval. There is sufficient evidence o support a claim of a linear correlation, so it is reasonable to use the regression equation when making predictions. For the prediction interval, use a 95% confidence level with a diamond that weighs 0.8 carats. Weight Price 0.3 $508 a. Find the explained variation. 0.4 $1153 0.5 $1332 Round to the nearest whole number as needed.) . Find the unexplained variation. Round to the nearest whole number as needed.) c.

The accompanying technology output was obtained by using the paired data consisting of foot lengths (cm) and heights (cm) of a sample of 40 people. Along with the paired sample data, the technologgy was also given a foot length of 10.8 cm to be used for predicting height. The technology found that there is a linear correlation between height and foot length. If someone has a foot length of 10.8 cm, what is the single value that is the best predicted height for that person? H Click the icon to view the technology output.

A professor was interested in how exam performance related to study time. Just before an exam began the professor asked students in his class to write down how many hours they had studied for the exam in the past two weeks. He then compared their exam scores to the reported study time. What type of study did the professor carry out? ex post facto correlational case experimental
People spend huge sums of money for the purchase of magnets used to treat a wide variety of pains. Researchers conducted a study to determine whether magnets are effective in treating back pain. Pain was measured using the visual analog scale, and the results given below are among the results obtained in the study. Assume that population variances are equal and unknown, use a = 0.05 to test the claim that those treated with magnets have a greater reduction in pain than those given a sham treatment. Find the value of the statistic. Reduction in sample sample sample pain level after magnet treatment size mean std. dev. nį = 20 | ī = 0.49 n2 = 20 | ã2 = 0.44 S1 = 0.96 S2 = 1.4 after sham treatment

What percentage of Contra Costa County adults supports a ban on assault-style weapons? Suppose that we survey a random sample of 100 adults living in Contra Costa County and find that 62% support a ban on assault-style weapons. According to a 2015 study by the Pew Research Center, 57% of U.S. adults favor a ban on assault-style weapons. Assuming that the variability in random samples will be the same in Contra Costa County as in the U.S., find the 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of CCC adults that favor a ban on assault-style weapons. g. Are we confident that the percentage of Contra Costa County residents that supports a ban is greater than the percentage nationwide as reported by the Pew Research Center? Why or why not?

Fifty-four wild bears were anesthetized, and then their weights and chest sizes were measured and listed in a data set. Results are shown in the accompanying display. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the weights of bears and their chest sizes? When measuring an anesthetized bear, is it easier to measure chest size than weight? If so, does it appear that a measured chest size can be used to predict the weight?
