Supposed that you were asked to examine the relationship between the height of children and their parents. To conduct such a study, you have collected data from 110 college students, and estimated the following relationship: Studenth_hat=19.6 + 0.73 × Midparh, R2 = 0.45, SER = 2.0 (7.2) (0.10) where Studenth is the height of students in inches, and Midparh is the average of the parental heights. Values in parentheses are heteroskedasticity robust standard errors. Both variables were adjusted so that the average female height was equal to the average male height.) If children, on average, were expected to be of the same height as their parents, then this would imply two hypotheses, one for the slope and one for the intercept.

What is the relationship between the average income and the level of education in a given population, and how does this relationship vary across different regions and demographic groups?
Use the figure to the right, which shows the percentages of adults from several countries who favor building new nuclear power plants in their country. The survey included random samples of 1051 adults from Country A, 1120 adults from Country B, 1048 adults from Country C, and 1013 adults from Country D. At a = 0.05, can you support the claim that the proportion of adults in Country B who favor building new nuclear power plants in their country is different from the proportion of adults from Country C who favor building new nuclear power plants in their country? Assume the random samples are independent. 100- 80- 60 40 20 I Country A 53% I Country B 47% O Country C 46% O Country D 34% Identify the claim and state Ho and H.

The data used is from college campuses. The variables used in the analysis below include: crime, total campus crime; enroll, total enrollment; police, employed officers. Use the estimated OLS models to answer the questions below: Model A: In(crime) = -6.631 + 1.270ln(enroll), (1.034) (.110) n = 97; R² = .5804 Model B: In(crime) = -4.794 + .923ln(enroll) (.144) (1.112) n = 97; R² = .632 +.516ln(police), (.149) Using Model A, test the null hypothesis that elasticity of crime with respect to enrollment is unit elastic, i.e. equal to one (against a two-sided alternative). Calculate the t-statistic.
Because colas tend to replace healthier beverages and colas contain caffeine and phosphoric acid, researchers wanted to know whether cola consumption is associated with lower bone mineral density in women. The accompanying data lists the typical number of cans of cola consumed in a week and the femoral neck bone mineral density for a sample of 15 women. Complete parts (a) through (f) below. Click the icon to view the women's data. (a) Find the least-squares regression line treating cola consumption per week as the explanatory variable. y=x+( (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

A music fan claims that R&B songs and Rap songs differ in terms of their positivity. The individual collected two independent random samples from the population of all songs on Spotify. Fifteen R&B songs and another fifteen Rap songs were collected and their Valence was recorded. Remember, the variable Valence is measured on a 0 to 1 scale. Songs with high valence sound more positive (e.g. happy, cheerful, euphoric), while songs with low valence sound more negative (e.g. sad, depressed, angry). We will subtract (R&B – Rap) and use the 10% significance level. Assume the Central Limit Theorem conditions hold. The data set is called RBRapSample31. Please import the data set into Rguroo or find it in our group. Define the population parameter in context and symbols in one sentence. State the hypotheses you would use to test the claim that a difference exists in the mean Valence between R&B and Rap songs using correct notation.
An investigation of the properties of bricks used to line aluminum smelter pots was published in an article. Six different commercial bricks were evaluated. The life span of a smelter pot depends on the porosity of the brick lining (the less porosity, the longer the life span); consequently, the researchers measured the apparent porosity of each brick specimen, as well as the mean pore diameter of each brick. See the table. Apparent Porosity (y). Mean Pore Diameter (x). Click the icon to view the table. Data table Mean Pore Diameter Apparent Porosity (%) (micrometers) Brick Interpret the y-intercept of the line. Choose the correct answer below. 18.7 12.0 В 18.3 9.8 O A. The y-intercept is Bo- This value has no meaning because 0 is not in the observed range of the independent variable mean pore diameter. 16.3 7.3 6.9 5.4 O B.

The blue catfish (Ictalurus Furcatus) is the largest species of North American catfish. The current world record stands at 143 pounds, which was caught in the John H. Kerr Reservoir (Bugg's Island Lake) located in Virginia. According to American Expedition, the average weight of a blue catfish is between 20 to 40 pounds. Given that the largest blue catfish ever caught was at the John H. Kerr Reservoir, you believe that the mean weight of the fish in this reservoir is greater than 40 pounds. Use the data below, which represents the summary statistics for 42 blue catfish caught at this reservoir, and a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean weight of the fish in the John H. Kerr Reservoir is greater than 40 pounds. n=42; ¯x=40.63 pounds; s=3.49 pounds a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses?H0: H1: c) Identify the appropriate significance level.d) Calculate your test statistic.
