We expect a car’s highway gas mileage to be related to its city gas mileage (in mpg). Data for all 12091209 vehicles in the government’s 2016 Fuel Economy Guide give the regression line highway mpg=7.903+(0.993×city mpg)highway mpg=7.903+(0.993×city mpg) for predicting highway mileage from city mileage. (a) What is the slope of this line? (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places.) What does the numerical value of the slope tell you? On average, highway mileage decreases by 0.9930.993 mpg for each additional mpg in city mileage. On average, highway mileage increases by 0.9930.993 mpg for each additional mpg in city mileage. For every 7.9037.903 mpg in city gas mileage, highway gas mileage increases about 0.9930.993 mpg. Highway gas mileage increases with city gas mileage by 7.9037.903 mpg for each additional mpg in city mileage. On average, highway mileage increases by 7.9037.903 mpg for each additional mpg in city mileage. (b) What is the intercept?…
2. A study is conducted in patients with HIV. The primary outcome is CD4 cell count which is a measure of the stage of the disease. Lower CD4 counts are associated with more advanced disease. The investigators are interested in the association between vitamin and mineral supplements and CD4 count. A multiple regression analysis is performed relating CD4 count to use of supplements(coded as l ves, 0-no) and to duration of HIV, in years(ie., the number of years between the diagnosis of HIV and the study date). For the analysis, Y-CD4 count. Y 501.41 12.67 Supplements - 30.23 Duration of HIV A. What is the expected CD4 count for a patient taking supplements who has had HIV for 2.5 years? B. What is the expected CD4 count for a patient not taking supplements who was diagnosed with HIV at study enrollment? C. What is the expected CD4 count for a patient not taking supplements who has had HIV for 2.5 years

A researcher is interested in examining the relationship between spousal abuse and child abuse. Specifically, they are interested in determining whether there is a predictive relationship between spousal abuse and child abuse in 5 county social services offices. Calculate the linear regression line for the following data. Note you have already calculated the first step to this analysis (Pearson's Correlation)
A team of epidemiologists at the Mayo Clinic wanted to find whether there is an association between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). They conducted a prospective cohort study following obese and non-obese individuals who were free of CVD at the beginning of study for five years. The investigators were also interested in assessing age as a potential confounder, effect modifier, or both. Use the data below to answer the accompanying questions. CVD No CVD Total Obese 10 90 100 Not Obese 35 465 500 Total 45 555 600 CVD No CVD Total Obese 36 164 200 Not Obese 25 175 200 Total 61 339 400 1. Compute the appropriate measure of association for those who were less than age 50. 2. Compute the appropriate measure of association for those who were older or equal to age 50. 3.

Besides the Regression analysis, spatial analysis, and time series analysis, explain an additional alternative approach to conducting the analysis for explanatory variables and response variables for Meaghan’s post below about a peer-reviewed scientific study that is a strong example of data collection: Meaghan’s Post: The below study was completed by conservationists to see and better understand the movement of a specific marine mammal species. The study was done in the waterways of California. The subject is monitored using a random 1.8; mile movement. Results of this project are analyzed by scientists and researchers. The species is a very curious one which allowed for better care and gained interest before committing to it. Ten observation stations were used about 2.4 km per the intervals were measured at equal intervals throughout. This often feels very accurate because the evidence is supported by science and other similar publications that allow due to interact without being…
A regional distributor of NIKE shoes is in the process of analyzing the factors that influence thedemand for the NIKE brand. The distributor hired an economist to conduct a study on the demand for this product. The economist collected quarterly time series data from 1986Q1 to 1991Q4 on the following variables:SALES Sales of NIKE shoesRPDI Real personal disposal incomeCONF Consumer confidence indexD2 Dummy variable for quarter 2D3 Dummy variable for quarter 3D4 Dummy variable for quarter 4Ordinary Least Squares was applied using sales as the dependent variable and real personal disposal income, consumer confidence index, dummy variable for quarter 2, dummy variable for quarter 3, and dummy variable for quarter 4 as independent variables.

Suppose that at least two regressors in a multivariate regression model are closely correlated. How will this affect your OLS coefficient estimates and associated standard errors? (I.e., What is the practical consequence of imperfect multicollinearity?) a. The slope coefficient estimates will be inconsistent. b.The standard errors of one or more coefficient estimates will be biased toward zero. c. The standard errors of one or more coefficient estimates will be larger than otherwise. d.The slope coefficient estimates will be biased toward zero.
