When T (tau) is a large number, what would you expect to see occur when examining the number of individuals in a population? A long delay in density dependent effects would occur, causing large overshoots in populations numbers beyond the carrying capacity, severe competition for limiting resources and large die-offs in the population. No delay in density dependent effects would occur and the population would level off at the exact carrying capacity of the population. A short delay in density dependent effects would occur, causing a small overshoot of the population size beyond the carrying capacity, followed by die- off. However, over time these overshoots and die-offs would be less severe as the population corrects itself around the carrying capacity.

What does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?
Olympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?
Assume we have data demonstrating a strong linear link between the amount of fertilizer applied to certain plants and their yield. Which is the independent variable in this research question?
The so-called PEFR score (Peak Expiratory Flow Rate) is a measure used to measure lung function in asthma patients. The higher the value, the better the lungs function. The theory has long been that walking in cold weather has a positive effect on lung function. To investigate this theory, the Directorate of Health decided to conduct a study in which six asthma patients were randomly selected and allowed to walk outside in cold weather for one hour. Their PEFR score was measured before the walk and again after the walk, one hour later. The data can be seen below. Asthma patient number PEFR score before PEFR score after 1 300 312 2 201 342 3 232 340 4 312 388 5 220 296 6 256 254 PEFR scores in asthma patients can be expected to follow normal distribution. Justify which test is appropriate for this data to see if walking in cold weather for an hour has a positive effect on the lung function of asthma patients. Use α = 0.05.

Environmental conditions can affect the growth of coral. To study this, a researcher examined a species of coral that is found in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. At 12 localities, he determined the average annual calcification rate of coral over a period of several years and the average annual maximum sea surface temperature during the same period. Calcification rate affects the growth of coral, with higher rates corresponding to greater growth. The table contains data for these 12 localities.

You want to estimate the impact of the death penalty as a deterrent for committing murder. You have data on the murder rate from all 50 states and Washington DC, as well as the total executions in the past 3 years. You also have information on the unemployment rate for each state. You estimate the following model: mrdrte = Bo + B₁ * exec + ß₂ * unemp+u where mrdrte: murder rate exec: total executations in past 3 years unemp: unemployment rate Question 2 Based on the scatterplot below, it appears there is at least one candidate outlier in terms of total executions, and perhaps one with a very high murder rate as well. 30 40 80 murders per 100,000 people 40 20 09 KY: 10 0 O True O False O 20 total executions, past 3 years
Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory disease which affects the spine and sacroiliac joint and can lead to the fusing of vertebrae in the spine. Exercise is important in helping manage pain, therefore a pharmaceutical company wanted to test if their new biologic would increase the time a patient could exercise before experiencing discomfort. The following table gives the time (in minutes) seven patients were able to exercise before reporting pain, both at baseline and then again after six months of taking the biologic.Exercise Time (in minutes)Subject 1 Baseline 30 Post-treatment 40Subject 245 40Subject 350 60Subject 435 37Subject 555 60Subject 620 25Subject 775 75Assume the population(s) of all exercise times is (are) normally distributed. Use JMP to test whether the evidence suggests that the time a person with ankylosing spondylitis can exercise before experiencing discomfort increases after taking this new biologic. Validate the test statistic from JMP by computing it manually.…

Suppose that an impending environmental regulation to control that hazard is expected to reduce the risk of premature death from 11/100,000 to 4/100,000 per year in that exposed population of 1.43 million people. If the value of a statistical life is 5 million, what is the maximum value of this regulation (in millions) so that the net benefit is positive?
A common symptom of otitis media in young children is the prolonged presence of fluid in the middle ear, known as middle-ear effusion. The presence of fluid may result in temporary hearing loss and interfere with normal learning skills in the first 2 years of life. One hypothesis is that babies who are breastfed for at least 1 month build up some immunityagainst the effects of the infection and have less prolonged effusion than do bottle-fed babies. A small study of 24 pairs of babies is set up, in which the babies are matched on a one-to-one basis according to age, sex, socioeconomic status, and type of medications taken. One member of the matched pair is a breastfed baby, and the other member is a bottle-fed baby. The outcome variable is the duration of middle-ear effusion after the first episode of otitis media. The results are given in Table 9.11. A) What hypotheses are being tested here? B) Why might a nonparametric test be useful in testing the hypotheses? C) Which nonparametric…
