Question 4 a) A medical researcher wants to investigate the amount of time it takes for patients' headache pain to be relieved after taking a new prescription painkiller. She wants to estimate the mean of the population of relief times. She believes that the population is normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 25 minutes. How large a sample should she take to estimate the mean time to within 5 minutes with 95% confidence? b) An epidemiologist is worried about the prevalence of the flu in East Vancouver and the potential shortage of vaccines for the area. She will need to provide a recommendation for how to allocate the vaccines appropriately across the city. She takes a simple random sample of 320 people living in East Vancouver and finds that 40 have recently had the flu.Suppose that the epidemiologist wants to re-estimate the population proportion and wishes for her 95% confidence interval to have a margin of error no larger than 0.05. How large a sample should…
10 of 11 DNA markers of known lengths were separated on an agarose gel and visualised. The figure below is the standard plot of measurements made from a digital image of this gel.

Suppose you fit a simple Poisson model such that in A = XB where B = 1.9. What would the variance be if x = -0.8 ?
The weights (in pounds) of 6 vehicles and the variability of their braking distances (in feet) when stopping on a dry surface are shown in the table. Can you conclude that there is a significant linear correlation between vehicle weight and variability in braking distance on a dry surface? Use α=0.01.

Which statement is not correct?A. Spurious correlation can often be reduced by expressing X and Y in per capita terms.B. Autocorrelation is mainly a concern if we are using time - series data.C. Heteroscedastic residuals will have roughly the same variance for any value of X.D. Standardized residuals make it easy to identify outliers or instances of poor fit. ( don't hand writing solution)
Cardiologists use the short-range scaling exponent α1, which measures the randomness of heart rate patterns, as a tool to assess risk of heart attack. The article “Applying Fractal Analysis to Short Sets of Heart Rate Variability Data” compared values of α1 computed from long series of measurements (approximately 40,000 heartbeats) with those estimated from the first 300 beats to determine how well the long-term measurement (y) could be predicted the short-term one (x). Following are the data (obtained by digitizing a graph).

Listed below are altitudes (thousands of feet) and outside air temperatures (°F) recorded during a flight. Find the (a) explained variation, (b) unexplained variation, and (c) indicated prediction interval. There is sufficient evidence to 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 the altitude of 6327 ft (or 6.327 thousand feet). Altitude Temperature a. Find the explained variation.

A weight-loss program wants to test how well their program is working. The company selects a simple random sample of 51 individual that have been using their program for 15 months. For each individual person, the company records the individual's weight when they started the program 15 months ago as an x-value. The subject's current weight is recorded as a y-value. Therefore, a data point such as (205, 190) would be for a specific person and it would indicate that the individual started the program weighing 205 pounds and currently weighs 190 pounds. In other words, they lost 15 pounds. When the company performed a regression analysis, they found a correlation coefficient of r = 0.707. This clearly shows there is strong correlation, which got the company excited. However, when they showed their data to a statistics professor, the professor pointed out that correlation was not the right tool to show that their program was effective. Correlation will NOT show whether or not there is…
In the year 2033, Sarai Patterson is a leading traveling nurse. Sarai is interested in reducing the mean recovery time for patients after experiencing a serious injury (assume recovery times are normally distributed). Suppose the mean recovery time is presently 8.6 months. Sarai takes a random sample of 46 patients that have experienced serious injury to participate in a new treatment program and finds the sample mean is 8.1 months and a sample standard deviation of 1.2 months. Using α = 0.05, answer the following questions. a) What is the setup for your null and alternative hypothesis? b) What is the value of the test statistic? c) What is/are the critical value(s)?
