You test the effect of the gender and age on survival of patients receiving kidney. You use the proportional hazard model with the indicator variable Z1 = 1 for male patient and Z2 = 1 for adult patient. The resulting parameter estimates are b1 = 0.25, b2 = –0.45. The variance-covariance matrix for b1 and b, is 0.35 0.10 0.10 0.20

The least-squares regression equation is y=620.6x+16,624 where y is the median income and x is the percentage of 25 years and older with at least a bachelor's degree in the region. The scatter diagram indicates a linear relation between the two variables with a correlation coefficient of 0.7004. In a particular region, 28.3 percent of adults 25 years and older have at least a bachelor's degree. The median income in this region is $37,389. Is this income higher than what you would expect? Why?
The least-squares regression equation is y=761.7x+13,208 where y is the median income and x is the percentage of 25 years and older with at least a bachelor's degree in the region. The scatter diagram indicates a linear relation between the two variables with a correlation coefficient of 0.7483. Predict the median income of a region in which 20% of adults 25 years and older have at least a bachelor's degree.
Imagine a study where all our data (x, y) falls perfectly on a flat and straight horizontal line. If we calculated the correlation coefficient r for this data, what would it be? What would that mean for our hypotheses?
The difference between a regression weight and a beta weight is: A regression weight assumes linearity. A beta weight is for the population while a regression weight is for the sample. A regression weight is less biased. A beta weight is a standardized regression weight.
What information is provided by r2? What are the primary uses of partial correlations?
The least-squares regression equation is y=784.6x+12,431 where y is the median income and x is the percentage of 25 years and older with at least a bachelor's degree in the region. The scatter diagram indicates a linear relation between the two variables with a correlation coefficient of 0.7962. In a particular region, 26.5 percent of adults 25 years and older have at least a bachelor's degree. The median income in this region is $29,889. Is this income higher or lower than what you would expect? Why?
The following is the result of the multiple linear regression analysis in STATISTICA, where the response Y = lung capacity of a person, xage = age of the person in years, xheight = height of the person in inches, = a categorical variable with 2 levels (0 = non- X smoke smoker, 1 = smoker), and xCaesarean = a categorical variable with 2 levels (0 = normal delivery, 1 = %3D %3D Caesarean-section delivery). b* Std.Err.

Construct the indicated confidence interval for the population mean μ using the t-distribution. Assume the population is normally distributed. c=0.95, x=12.1, s=3.0, n=7, (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Suppose a local university researcher wants to build a linear model that predicts the freshman year GPA of incoming students based on high school SAT scores. The researcher randomly selects a sample of 40 sophomore students at the university and gathers their freshman year GPA data and the high school SAT score reported on each of their college applications. He produces a scatterplot with SAT scores on the horizontal axis and GPA on the vertical axis. The data has a linear correlation coefficient of 0.481202. Additional sample statistics are summarized in the table below. Variable Sample Sample standard Variable description mean deviation high school SAT score x = 1495.716802 Sx = 109.915203 y freshman year GPA y = 3.260911 Sy 0.492802 r = 0.481202 slope = 0.002157 Determine the y-intercept, a, of the least-squares regression line for this data.
