An electrochemical engineer has manufactured a new type of fuel cell (a type of battery)which has to undergo testing to prove its duration: the time it takes to go from fullycharged to completely uncharged, under a fixed nominal load. From the computational simulation models she has, the variance of the duration is σ2 = 4 h2 (hours squared)but she wants to estimate the mean duration time μ. To achieve this she is determinedto do the tests multiple times in independent but identical conditions. Can you findwhat is the smallest number of these tests that she has to do in order for her estimatedmean duration to be within ±0.2 h tolerance of the true mean with 95% certainty

Given that Population standard deviation =2 Margin of error =E =0.2

To illustrate the effects of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, a police officer brought a DUI simulator to a local high school. Student reaction time in an emergency was measured with unimpaired vision and also while wearing a pair of special goggles to simulate the effects of alcohol on vision. For a random sample of nine teenagers, the time (in seconds) required to bring the vehicle to a stop from a speed of 60 miles per hour was recorded. Complete parts (a) and (b).

A recent study showed that the hours a person exercised in a week affected the individual'sresting heart rate. It was computed that r = -.68 and the least squares regression line was?̂ = 83-1.4x, where x is the hours exercised and y is the resting heart rate. d. What percentage of variability in resting heart rate can be explained by variability inhours exercised?
Tom has been gathering data concerning the cost of a spa treatment, y', during the before Valentine's Day. The only independent variable that he has considered is the number of minutes, "x," in the treatment. Suppose Tom collects data on the relationship between the number of minutes in a treatment and the resulting cost of we the treatment. Tom finds that the correlation between cost and number of minutes is strong and positive. Therefore, he has performed a linear regression analysis on his data. His results are that the constant "a" is 35, and the coefficient "b1" for the independent variable is 1.3. Which of the following is the correct linear regression equation that would allow Tom to predict the cost of a spa treatment given the number of minutes? Oy = 78x + 35 Oy' = 1.3x + 35 %3D Oy = 78x - 1.3 %3D OY = -1.3x - 35
A trucking company considered a multiple regression model for relating the dependent variable y = total daily travel time for one of its drivers (hours) to the predictors x₁ = distance traveled (miles) and x₂ = the number of deliveries made. Suppose that the model equation is Y = -0.800+ 0.060x₁ +0.900x₂ + e (a) What is the mean value of travel time when distance traveled is 50 miles and four deliveries are made? hr (b) How would you interpret ₁ = 0.060, the coefficient of the predictor x₁? O When the number of deliveries is constant, the average change in travel time associated with a ten-mile (i.e. one unit) increase in distance traveled is 0.060 hours. O The total daily travel time increases by 0.060 hours when the distance traveled increases by 1. O When the number of deliveries is held fixed, the average change in travel time associated with a one-mile (i.e. one unit) increase in distance traveled is 0.060 hours.

A professor obtains SAT scores and freshman grade point averages (GPAs) for a group of n = 15 college students. The SAT scores have a mean of M = 580 with SS = 22,400, and the GPAs have a mean of 3.10 with SS = 1.26, and SP = 84. A) Find the regression equation for predicting GPA from SAT scores. B) What percentage of the variance in GPAs is accounted for by the regression equation (i.e., compute the correlation, r, then find r2)? C) Does the regression equation account for a significant portion of the variance in GPA? Use a = .05 to evaluate the F-ratio.
