As warm moist air rises, it begins to rotate around a low- pressure system. This rotation is sustained by warm ocean temperatures and a central low pressure. Once a sustained wind speed of 74 miles per hour is reached, the storm is considered a hurricane. As man-made climate change continues to increase the temperature of the Earth's oceans, it is expected that the strength of hurricanes will Typically, a lower central pressure within a hurricane's eye is associated with a higher wind speed. Here, statistical software (R/RStudio) will be used to explore this relationship by applying linear regression methods. Using a database of landfalling hurricanes in the United States, a linear regression will be used to correlate the central pressure of each hurricane to its maximum sustained wind speed. increase.

A researcher was investigating variables that might be associated with the academic performance of high school students. The data included the average Math SAS score of all high school seniors in the city that took the exam (labeled as the variable SAT-M), the average number of dollars per pupil spent on education by the city (labeled as the variable $Per Pupil), and the percentage of high school seniors in the city that took the exam (labeled as the variable %Taking). As part of the researcher's investigation, he ran the following multiple linear regression model as SAT-M=Beta0 + Beta1($Per Pupil) + Beta2(%Taking). This model was fit to the data using the method of least-squares, results shown inside of table within photo. Question: What's the 95% confidence interval for Beta1, (coefficient of variable $PerPupil). Then determine the interpretation for Beta2 (coefficient of %Taking variable).arrow_forward
