Consider an epidemiological model that computes the number of people infected with a contagious illness in a closed population over time. Specifically, the SIR model involves coupled equations relating the number of susceptible people St, the number of infected people It, and the number of people who have recovered R. You estimate that if individuals have recovered in a given period, there is a 100 percent chance that they will remain recovered. If individuals are infected in a given period, there is a 50 percent chance that they will remain infected and a 50 percent chance that they will recover in the next period. If individuals are susceptible in a given period, there is a

Consider a two component parallel system in which both components have times to failure and times to 0.0024 f/hr and µ1 = = 0.001 f /hr, 12 repair that are exponentially distributed. The data is 1, 0.003 r/hr and µ2 = 0.005 r/hr. Evaluate the reliability or probability of success for a mission of 1000 hr. (hint: form a history for each component using the data for failure rate and repair rate)
There may be an association between a country's birthrate and the life expectancy of its inhabitants. A report this past year, coming from a random sample of 20 countries, contained the following information: the least-squares regression equation relating the two variables number of births per one thousand people (denoted by x) and female life expectancy (denoted by y and measured in years) is y = 82.28 – 0.51 x, and the standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line is approximately 0.35. Based on this information, test for a significant linear relationship between these two variables by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope B,. (Assume that the variable y follows a normal distribution for each value of x and that the other regression assumptions are satisfied.) Use the 0.10 level of significance, and perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the…

Suppose we have a multiple regression model with 2 predictors and an intercept. (Without any interaction or higher order terms, we have only the 2 predictors in the model and the intercept.) We have only n= 6 observations (so it would be rather silly to fit this model to this data, but let's pretend it is reasonable). We find the values of the first 5 residuals are: 2.6, 2.3, 2.5, -1.5, -1.4 What is the value of MSRes for this multiple regression model?
A local University conducted a survey of over 2,000 MBA alumni to explore the issue of work-life balance. Each participant received a score ranging from 0 to 100, with lower scores indicating a higher imbalance between work and life. A sample of the data is available below. Let x = average number of hours worked per week and y=work-life balance scale score for each MBA alumnus.

We are interested in estimating the following model log(wage) = Bo + Bieduc + Bzexper + u where • wage=hourly wage, in US dollars; • educ=number of years of education; • exper=number of years of work experience. The variable ctuit is the change in college tuition facing students from age 17 to age 18 and is used as an IV for educ. We run the first stage regression for educ and get the following output: Source s df MS Number of obs 1,230 F (2, 1227) 550.19 Model 3220.84426 2 1610.42213 Prob > F 0.0000 Residual 3591.43541 1,227 2.92700523 0.4728 R-squared Adj R-squared 0.4719 Total 6812.27967 1,229 5.54294522 Root MSE 1.7108 educ Coef.

Students who complete their exams early certainly can intimidate the other students, but do the early finishers perform significantly differently than the other students? A random sample of 37 students was chosen before the most recent exam in Prof. J class, and for each student, both the score on the exam and the time it took the student to complete the exam were recorded. a. Find the least-squares regression equation relating time to complete (explanatory variable, denoted by x, in minutes) and exam score (response variable, denoted by y) by considering Sx = 15, sy = 17,r = 39.706, x = 90, ỹ = 78 b. The standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line was approximately (Sp) is 20.13.

Which of the following choice is correct and please explain why. A) be certain that R^2 = 1 B) be certain that R^2 = 0 C) be certain that R^2 is less than 1 but greater than 0. D) not be certain
Beryllium is an extremely lightweight metal that is used in many industries, such as aerospace and electronics. Long-term exposure to beryllium can cause people to become sensitized. Once an individual is sensitized, continued exposure can result in chronic beryllium disease, which involves scarring of the lungs. In a study of the effects of exposure to beryllium, workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (diseased, sensitized, or normal). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure <1 1 to <5 ≥5 Diseased 14 13 18 Sensitized 11 20 15 Normal 78 140 209 Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude? State the null and alternate hypotheses.
An ecologist is studying the impacts of air pollution on giant panda populations, specifically on panda birth rates. Due to the historical interest in giant pandas, the ecologist has access to data from the last 30 years that allows her to fit two models to the evolution of giant panda populations over time (one for 30 years and one for the last 5 years after a new chemical plant was built close to the panda habitat). She will use these models to determine the long-term impacts of this pollution on panda populations. She has the following information to help her model the two sets of population dynamics data on adult and baby pandas : i. 1) Without pollution, for every 1 adult female panda a year earlier, 0.75 baby pandas are born each year (reproduction rate = 0.75). 2) With pollution, for every 1 adult female panda a year earlier, 0.7 baby pandas are born each year (reproduction rate = 0.7). 3) 3 in 4 of the adult female pandas survive to the next year. 1 in 3 female baby pandas…
