For each of the following, decide whether the proper inference is a prediction interval for y or a confidence interval for E(v) : (a) A jeweler wants to predict the selling price of a diamond stone on the basis of its size (number of carats). (b) A psychologist wants to estimate the average IQ of all patients who have a certain income level.

It is assumed that standardized test scores should be correlated with students' classroom performance. One would expect that students who consistently perform well in the classroom (on tests, quizzes, etc.) would also perform well on a standardized test scored from 0-100 (with 100 indicating high achievement). A teacher decides to examine this hypothesis. At the end of the academic year, she collects the following data for her (admittedly small) class: Standardized test score Overall GPA 56 1.8 1 73 2.6 2 78 2.9 3 83 2.9 4 85 3.0 5 rows x 2 columns What is your best guess for the expected GPA of a student who scored a 88 on the standardized test? number (rtol=0.01, atol=0.0001) Determine a 95% confidence interval for the expected GPA of a student who scored a 76 on the standardized test. Ib number (rtol=0.01, atol=0.0001) ub number (rtol=0.01, atol=0.0001)
Consider the following difference-in-differences estimator for the effect of a newgarbage incinerator on housing values. Rumor of a new incinerator being built in a townin Massachusetts began after 1978, and construction began in 1981. You have data onprices of houses that sold in 1978, and another sample of those that sold in 1981. Youdefine a dummy variable (y81) as equal to 1 if the house sold in 1981, and zero if thehouse sold in 1978. Your hypothesis is that the price of houses located near theincinerator will fall across those years relative to the price of more distant houses. Youdefine a house as being near the incinerator (nearinc) if it is within 3 miles of it. Housingprice (price) is measured in real terms, in 1978 dollars. You estimate the followingregression (standard errors are in parentheses): price = 82,517.23 + 18,790.29y81 -18,824.37nearinc (2,726.91) (4,050.07) (4,875.32) -11,863.90(y81 * nearinc) (7,456.65) n=321 Interpret the coeffiecient…
The weekly expenditure on groceries of a random sample of 100 family households was recorded. It was estimated that the mean expenditure was approximately $240. With rising interest rates and petrol prices, it was anticipated that grocery expenditure might decrease. Which hypothesis test would you use to test this claim? 1.One tailed, one sample t-test 2.Two tailed, one sample t-test 3.One tailed, z-test 4.One-tailed Paired Samples t-test 5.Chi Square
On average, a sample of n = 36 scores will provide a better estimate of the population mean than a sample of n = 49 scores from the same population.
Using an a = 0.05 significance level, what was the evidence for your answer to the previous question? O Because the p-value of the t-test for Experience is greater than 0.05, the analyst should not reject Ho: B₁ 0 so HA B10 is unsupported. This means that there is NO statistically significant relationship between Sales and Experience. = Because the p-value of the t-test for the Intercept is less than or equal to 0.05, the analyst should reject Ho: Bo 0 and accept HA Bo 0. This means that there is a statistically significant relationship between Sales and Experience. - O Because the p-value of the t-test for Experience is less than or equal to 0.05, the analyst should reject Ho: B1 = 0 and accept HA B1 0. This means that there is a statistically significant relationship between Sales and Experience. : O Because the p-value of the t-test for Experience is less than or equal to 0.05, the analyst should reject Ho: B1 = 0 and accept HA B1 0.

1. The data in Table 7–6 were collected in a clinical trial to evaluate a new compound designed to improve wound healing in trauma patients. The new compound was com- pared against a placebo. After treatment for 5 days with the new compound or placebo, the extent of wound healing was measured. Is there a difference in the extent of wound healing between the treatments? (Hint: Are treatment and the percent wound healing independent?) Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance. Use the data in Problem 1. Pool the data across the treatments into one sample of size n = 250. Use the pooled data to test whether the distribution of the percent wound healing is approximately normal. Specifically, use the following distribution 30%, 40%, 20%, and 10% and a = 0.05 to run the appropriate test. Percent Wound Healing Treatment 0-25% 26-50% 51-75% 76-100% New compound (n=125) 15 37 32 41 Placebo (n=125) 36 45 34 10
Q1. A psychologist conducted a study on the relationship between introversion and shyness. The values are results for scales of introversion and shyness. High positive scores on each scale indicate high introversion or shyness; and high negative scores indicate low introversion or shyness. Data collected from 10 people as follows: Introversion 4 -7 -1 0 6 7 -4 -9 -5 8 Shyness 11 -7 -1 -3 0 7 -1 -8 -1 5 a) Compute the correlation coefficient relating introversion and shyness scores. b) Find the regression equation which predicts introversion from shyness. c) What introversion score would you predict from a shyness score of 7?
While reading a published research report, you encounter the following statements. For each, identify the N, the procedure performed and the outcome, the relationship, and the type of error possibly being made. (a) “When we examined the perceptual skills data, the mean of 55 for the sample of adolescents differed significantly from the population mean of 70 for adults, t(45) = 3.76, p < .01.” (b) “The correlation between personality type and emotionality, however, was not significantly different from zero, with r(25) = +.42, p > .05.”
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.)We're interested in making predictions about individuals' sleep behavior based on their GAS scores. 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 Ŷ=8.48-0.28x This line, along with a scatter plot of the sample data, is shown below. (The 2nd picture contains the rest of the data as it would not fit in the first pic and it includes the question as well.)
The results obtained above were primarily due to the mean for the third treatment being noticeably different from the other two sample means. For the following data, the scores are the same as above except that the difference between treatments was reduced by moving the third treatment closer to the other two samples. In particular, 3 points have been subtracted from each score in the third sample. Before you begin the calculation, predict how the changes in the data should influence the outcome of the analysis. That is, how will the F-ratio for these data compare with the F- ratio from above? Treatment A F-ratio= = p-value = 6 5 4 LO 5 5 Treatment B Treatment C 5 6 8 4 6 8 7 7 4 10
