a. Test at 5% level of significance whether sex is indeed associated with whether or not the beneficiary is smoker. Test Procedure: p-value: Decision: Conclusion: At alpha = 0.05, there is sex is associated with whether or not the beneficiary is a smoker. There is a b. What can you say about the relationship between medical charges and age? = relationship between medical charges and age. linearly associated. C. Test at 5% level of significance if medical charges is linearly associated with age. Ho: P = 0 p= 0; (in words) The medical charges and age are not (in symbols) 0; (in words) The medical charges and age are linearly Ha: P + 0: (in symbols) associated. p-value: Decision: (reject / fail to reject Ho) Conclusion: At alpha= 0.05, there is medical charges is linearly associated with age. Ho: P = 0 (in symbols) d. Check if the data on medical charges and age support the researcher's claim. Create a model to do this and interpret its components. Assume all the necessary requirements for a regression analysis were met. Model: = Interpret the following values: Regression constant: Regression coefficient: B. = The medical charges R-squared: on age. (reject / fail to reject Ho) Ha: P = 0;(in symbols) dependent on age. (sufficient / no sufficient) evidence that Test Procedure: p-value: Decision: Int pretation: e. At 5% level of significance, test whether the medical charges are indeed linearly dependent on age. p = 0; (in words) The medical charges is linearly dependent (sufficient / no sufficient) evidence that where ß. - age (increase/decrease) by = 0. Conclusion: At alpha= 0.05, there is medical charges is linearly dependent on age. for every 1yr. increase in age. (in words) The medical charges is not linearly (reject or fail to reject Ho) (sufficient/no sufficient) evidence that
