Textbook Question
Chapter 13.4, Problem 32PB
Body weight residuals Examples 4–7 used multiple regression to predict total body weight of college athletes in terms of height, percent body fat, and age. The following figure shows a histogram of the standardized residuals resulting from fitting this model.
- a. About which distribution do these give you information—the overall distribution of weight or the conditional distribution of weight at fixed values of the predictors?
- b. What does the histogram suggest about the likely shape of this distribution? Why?

The following are suggested designs for group sequential studies. Using PROCSEQDESIGN, provide the following for the design O’Brien Fleming and Pocock.• The critical boundary values for each analysis of the data• The expected sample sizes at each interim analysisAssume the standardized Z score method for calculating boundaries.Investigators are evaluating the success rate of a novel drug for treating a certain type ofbacterial wound infection. Since no existing treatment exists, they have planned a one-armstudy. They wish to test whether the success rate of the drug is better than 50%, whichthey have defined as the null success rate. Preliminary testing has estimated the successrate of the drug at 55%. The investigators are eager to get the drug into production andwould like to plan for 9 interim analyses (10 analyzes in total) of the data. Assume thesignificance level is 5% and power is 90%.Besides, draw a combined boundary plot (OBF, POC, and HP)
