The November 24, 2001, issue of The Economist published economic data for 15
industrialized nations. Included were the percent changes in gross domestic product (GDP),
industrial production (IP), consumer prices (CP), and producer prices (PP) from Fall 2000
to Fall 2001, and the unemployment rate in Fall 2001 (UNEMP). An economist wants to
construct a model to predict GDP from the other variables. A fit of the model
GDP = , + P,IP + 0,UNEMP + f,CP + P,PP + €
yields the following output:
The regression equation is
GDP = 1.19 + 0.17 IP + 0.18 UNEMP + 0.18 CP – 0.18 PP

College GPA and Salary. Do students with higher college grade point averages (GPAs) earn more than those graduates with lower GPAs (CivicScience)? Consider the college GPA and salary data (10 years after graduation) provided in the file GPASalary.
Develop a scatter diagram for these data with college GPA as the independent variable. PLEASE MAKE SIMPLE GRAPH. What does the scatter diagram indicate about the relationship between the two variables?
Use these data to develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict annual salary 10 years after graduation given college GPA.
At the .05 level of significance, does there appear to be a significant statistical relationship between the two variables?

A researcher wants to investigate the relationship between the length of a service call
(in minutes) between a client and a computer technician, and the number of electronic
components in the computer that must be repaired or replaced. The data is given in
Table Q3.
(a) Determine a relationship between the two variables mentioned above and
comment on the relationship.
(b) Estimate the number of components that need to be repaired if a customer spends
half an hour on the phone for a service call
(c) Estimate the length of the service call if a client has an issue that requires 12
components to be fixed.

The method of infection with HIV affects the time interval before AIDS develops. One study of HIV patients who were infected by intravenous drug use found that 17% of the patients had AIDS after 4 years, and 54% had developed the disease after 11 years. The relationship between the time interval and the percentage of patients with AIDS can be modeled accurately with a linear equation. a. Write a linear equation y=mt + b that models these data, using the ordered pairs (4,0.17) and (11,0.54). b.
