Before surgical removal of a diseased parathyroid gland, two tests are often performed: the standard intact test and the turbo test.Both tests measure parathyroid hormone (PTH, in ng/l), but the turbo test is very expensive. Researchers obtained data from bothtests in a sample of 48 patients to predict turbo test results (y) from standard intact test results (x). The data ranged from roughlyO to 500 ng/l, and a scatterplot showed a clear linear relationship. The published findings given are summarized exactly:y = 1.08x-4.36(r = 0.97; n = 48)What is the slope of the regression line?48-4.361.080.97

The regression line is y=1.08x-4.36.The general regression equation is y=ax+b. Here, a denotes slope and b denotes slope. In this case, the intercept is -4.36 and the slope is 1.08. Thus, the slope of the regression line is 1.08.

The owener of a winery collects data on competing wineries every year. He would like to predict the gross sales (in number of cases) from the size of the wineries (in acres). What is the explanatory variable in this study?
Some people don't gain weight even when they overeat. Perhaps fidgeting and other “nonexercise activity" (NEA) explains why – the body might spontaneously increase nonexercise activity when fed more. Researchers deliberately overfed 16 healthy young adults for 8 weeks. They measured fat gain (y, in kilograms) and increase in energy use (NEA) (x, in calories), as an explanatory variable, from activity other than deliberated exercise – fidgeting, daily living, and the like. Here are the data (sorted by NEA): NEA increase -94 -57 -29 135 143 151 245 355 620 690 Fat gain 4.2 3.0 3.7 2.7 3.2 3.6 2.4 1.3 2.3 1.1 Assume that the model Fat gain= Bo +B,NEA increase +ɛ is reasonable.

Cell Phone Radiation Listed below are the measured radiation absorption rates (in W/kg) corresponding to these cell phones: iPhone 5S, BlackBerry Z30, Sanyo Vero, Optimus V, Droid Razr, Nokia N97, Samsung Vibrant, Sony Z750a, Kyocera Kona, LG G2, and Virgin Mobile Supreme. The data are from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The media often report about the dangers of cell phone radiation as a cause of cancer. The FCC has a standard that a cell phone absorption rate must be 1.6 W/kg or less. If you are planning to purchase a cell phone, are any of the measures of center the most important statistic? Is there another statistic that is most relevant? If so, which one?
Ophthalmology Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a hereditary ocular disease in which patches of pigment appear on the retina, potentially resulting in substantial vision loss and in some cases complete blindness. An important issue is how fast the subjects decline. Visual field is an important measure of area of vision, which is measured in degree2. A visual field area for a normal person is around 11,000 degree2.

help thank you! Suppose a researcher is interested in the effectiveness in a new childhood exercise program implemented in a SRS of schools across a particular county. In order to test the hypothesis that the new program decreases BMI (Kg/m2), the researcher takes a SRS of children from schools where the program is employed and a SRS from schools that do not employ the program and compares the results. Assume the following table represents the SRSs of students and their BMIs.

The well-known psychologist Dr. Elbod has established what he calls his Generalized Anxiety Scale (GAS). The GAS, which is a scale from 0 to 10, measures the "general anxiety" of an individual, with higher GAS scores corresponding to more anxiety. (Dr. Elbod's assessment of anxiety is based on a variety of measurements, both physiological and psychological.) The bivariate data below give the GAS score (denoted by x) and the number of hours of sleep last night (denoted by y) for each of the fifteen adults in a study. The least-squares regression line for these data has equation y=−8.55-0.29x. This line, along with a scatter plot of the sample data, is shown below.
