A researcher wants to study the factors affecting a person's decision to buy a car. For his study, he selects a random sample of 100 people from a city and estimates the following regression equation: C = - 7.35 + 0.44/+ 0.36M – 0.27P, where C is a binary dependent variable which denotes the decision to buy the car (C equals 1 if the person decides to buy the car, and 0 otherwise), / denotes the monthly income of the person (I equals 1 if the income exceeds $5,000 and 0 otherwise), M denotes the car's mileage (measured in miles per gallon) and P denotes the price of the car (in thousand dollars). The researcher wants to test the hypothesis that the coefficient on /, B4, and the coefficient on M, B2, are jointly zero, against the hypothesis that at least one of these coefficients is non-zero. The test statistics for testing the null hypotheses B1 =0 and B = 0 are calculated to be 1.55 and 1.25, respectively. Suppose that these test statistics are uncorrelated. The F-statistic associated…
A new town was incorporated in 1960. The size of the town's population was recorded every 5 years after 1960. Using the variables x, for number of years since 1960, and y, for the size of the population, three models were created to predict the population from the number of years since 1960.
At wind speeds above 1000 centimeters per second (cm/sec), significant sand-moving events begin to occur. Wind speeds below 1000 cm/sec deposit sand and wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move sand to new locations. The cyclic nature of wind and moving sand determines the shape and location of large dunes. At a test site, the prevailing direction of the wind did not change noticeably. However, the velocity did change. Sixty-one wind speed readings gave an average velocity of x = 1075 cm/sec. Based on long-term experience, σ can be assumed to be 265 cm/sec. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean wind speed at this site.

Biologist Theodore Garland, Jr. studied the relationship between running speeds and morphology of 49 species of cursorial mammals (mammals adapted to or specialized for running). One of the relationships he investigated was maximal sprint speed in kilometers per hour and the ratio of metatarsal-to-femur length. A least-squares regression on the data he collected produces the equation ŷ = 37.67 + 33.18x where x is metatarsal-to-femur ratio and y is predicted maximal sprint speed in kilometers per hour. The standard error of the intercept is 5.69 and the standard error of the slope is 7.94. Construct a 96% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line.

The authors of a paper investigated whether water temperature was related to how far a salamander would swim and whether it would swim upstream or downstream. Data for 14 streams with different mean water temperatures where salamander larvae were released are given (approximated from a graph that appeared in the paper). The two variables of interest are x = mean water temperature (°C) and y = net directionality, which was defined as the difference in the relative frequency of the released salamander larvae moving upstream and the relative frequency of released salamander larvae moving downstream. A positive value of net directionality means a higher proportion were moving upstream than downstream. A negative value of net directionality means a higher proportion were moving downstream than upstream. y 0.3 0.2 Mean Temperature (x) 0.1 0.0 -0.1 6.22 8.01 5 8.67 10.61 12.5 11.94 12.55 18.03 18.24 (a) Construct a scatterplot of the data. 19.94 20.3 19.02 17.78 19.67 USE SALT Net…

Endocrinology In Section 2.10, we described Data Set BONEDEN.DAT concerning the effect of tobacco use on BMD. Note: 2.38-2.40 Involve computing a new variable C. Compute C using the formula given and then use STATA to produce the output requested. 2.38. For each pair of twins, compute the following for the lumbar spine: A = BMD for the heavier-smoking twin − BMD for the lighter-smoking twin = x1 − x2 B = mean BMD for the twinship = (x1 + x2)/2 C = 100% × (A/B) Derive appropriate descriptive statistics for C over the entire study population. 2.39. Suppose we group the twin pairs according to the difference in tobacco use expressed in 10 pack-year groups (0–9.9 pack-years/10–19.9 pack-years/20–29.9 pack-years/30–39.9 pack-years/40+ pack-years). Compute appropriate descriptive statistics, and provide a scatterplot for C grouped by the difference in tobacco use in pack-years 2.40. What impression do you have of the relationship between BMD and tobacco use based on Problem 2.39?
