Question

William used a sample of 68 large U.S. cities to estimate the relationship between Crime (annual property crimes per 100,000 persons) and Income (median annual income per capita, in dollars). His estimated regression equation was Crime = 428 + 0.050 Income. We can conclude that

Multiple Choice

crime causes additional income in each city.

the intercept is irrelevant because zero median income makes no sense.

wealthy individuals tend to commit most crimes.

there is no significant relationship between income and crime.

Definition Definition Middle value of a data set. The median divides a data set into two halves, and it also called the 50th percentile. The median is much less affected by outliers and skewed data than the mean. If the number of elements in a dataset is odd, then the middlemost element of the data arranged in ascending or descending order is the median. If the number of elements in the dataset is even, the average of the two central elements of the arranged data is the median of the set. For example, if a dataset has five items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31—the median is the third item in ascending order, or 21. If a dataset has six items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31, 33—the median is the average of the third (21) and fourth (27) items. It is calculated as follows: (21 + 27) / 2 = 24.
