Problem 5 A business researcher is investigating the relationship between certain personality characteristics of small business owners and the businesses' growth potential over the next five vears The researcher randomly selects 15 small business owners, administers the “Speed and Impatience" (X.) and “Job Involvement" (X,) subscales of the Jenkins Activity Survey, and then determines the "Growth Potential (Y) for the businesses. The resulting data are as follows, Speed and Impatience Job Involvement|Growth Potential X, X, Y 4 4 6 2 3 7 7 6 10 4 8 10 8 8 7 3 4 2 5 4 4 4 3 5 4 4 4 5 4 3 6 5 o find the regression equation 3) Use the regression equation to predict the growth potential for the businesses in which the scales are 8 for Speed and Impatience and 9 for Job Involvement according to the Jenkins Activity Survey. 4) Find the coefficient of determination.

You were asked to help with an analysis of birth weights (BW) of 10,000 infants born in NYC during a certain period of time. The aim of the analysis is to see whether the birth weights of the infants are associated with mothers’ AGE at birth (continuous variable in years), mothers’ current HOUSING status (“own” and “not-own”; “own” is the reference group), and NYC boroughs (the BOROUGH variable contains 5 categories “Manhattan”, “Bronx”, “Brooklyn”, “Queens” and “Staten Island”; “Manhattan” is the reference group). Write down the population model that estimates the effect of mother’s AGE on BW while adjusting for mother’s current HOUSING status. If you use dummy or binary variables, specify what they mean. Write down the population model that estimates the effect of mother’s AGE on BW while adjusting for mother’s current HOUSING status and BOROUGH. If you use dummy or binary variables, specify what they mean. Write down the population model that estimates the effect of mother’s AGE…

8. You collect data on people's height and study the relationship between gender and height. A regression of the height on a binary variable (Female), which takes a value of one for females and zero otherwise, yields the following result: Height = 71.0- 4.84 x Female, R2 = 0.40, SER = 2.0 (0.3) (0.57) (a) What is the sample average male height? (b) What is the sample average female height? I (c) How to interpret the slope coefficient -4.84? (d) Is the error term in the regression more likely to be heteroskedastic or homoscedastic? Why?

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…
What are the measures of central tendency for this data set
Suppose a data file from a certain study has information for the following variables: 1. Gender- (X1) 2. Monthly income in US dollars- (Y) 3. Carownership (own a car/does not own a car)-(X2) 4. Age (X3) From such a hypothetical data set, answer the following questions: a) Suggest how you can define dummy variables for the nominal variables gender, and car ownership b) Suggest the null and alternative hypotheses for a global F-test examining the joint significance of coefficients of the independent variables in the model E(Y)=B0 + B1X1 +B2X2 +B3X3 c) Interpret the parameters BO, B1, B2, and B3 for the model in b) above
A study is conducted to investigate the association between income level and political party affiliation in the USA. Income level has 5 levels: Lowest (lowest 20-th percentile), low, middle, high, and very high (top 20-th percentile). Political party has 3 categories: Democratic (D), Independent (I), and Republican (R). A baseline category logit multinomial is fit on the 3 response categories using covariate of income level as ordinal (with scores 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 for the categories lowest, low, middle, high and very high respectively). Base category of response is Independent. The fitted model is log(ˆπD/πˆI ) = 3.3 − 0.2x and log(ˆπR/πˆI ) = 1.0 + 0.3x, where x=1,2,3,4,5 (poverty levels as numeric/ordinal), πD is the probability of being Democrat, πI is the probability of being Independent, and πR is the probability of being Republican. a. Comparing the chances/probability of being Republican to Independent, interpret the effect of income level increases on the odds (of being…

3. A psychologist is studying the effects of lack of sleep on the performance of various perceptual-motor tasks. After a given period of sleep deprivation, a measurement of reaction time to an auditory stimulus was taken for each of 36 adult male subjects. The reaction times (in seconds) are summarized as follows: x = 1.82, s = 0.22 Previous psychological studies show that the true mean reaction time for non-sleep- deprived male subjects is 1.70 seconds. a. Does the sample evidence indicate that the mean reaction time for sleep- deprived male subjects is longer than that of non-sleep-deprived male subjects ? a = 0.05 (iv) The conclusion for the above problem is Do not reject the null hypothesis and mean reaction time for sleep-deprived male subjects is not longer than that of non-sleep-deprived male subjects Reject the null hypothesis and mean reaction time for sleep-deprived male subjects is longer than that of non-sleep-deprived male subjects Do not reject the null hypothesis and…
Question 4The researcher wishes to use graphical descriptive methods to present summaries of the data on each of the two variables: hours worked per week and yearly income, as stored in file HOURSWORKED.jpga) The number of observations (n) is 65 individuals. The researcher suggests using 7 class intervals to construct a histogram for each variable. Explain how the researcher would have decided on the number of class intervals (K) as 7. b) The researcher suggests using class intervals as 10 < X ≤ 15, 15 < X ≤ 20, …, 40 < X ≤ 45 for the hours per week variable and class intervals 40 < X ≤ 45, 45 < X ≤ 50, ..., 70 < X ≤ 75 for the yearly income variable. Explain how the researcher would have decided the width of the above class intervals (or class width). c) Draw and display a histogram for each of the two variables using appropriate BIN values from part (b) and comment on the shape of the two distributions.
