Chapter 14, Problem 26SE
Used BMWs A used-car dealer is purchasing 50 used BMWs from one dealer in order to sell them for a profit. Working with collected data, the dealer has found a regression model to predict the selling price on the basis of the car’s age. He wants to predict the total amount he will get for these 50 cars in order to make sure he does not lose money. All 50 cars are three years old (they were turned in after their leases expired). Should he use a confidence interval or a prediction interval for the mean selling price of these 50 cars? Explain.

- According to an economist from a financial company, the average expenditures on "furniture and household appliances" have been lower for households in the Montreal area than those in the Quebec region. A random sample of 14 households from the Montreal region and 16 households from the Quebec region was taken, providing the following data regarding expenditures in this economic sector. It is assumed that the data from each population are distributed normally. We are interested in knowing if the variances of the populations are equal. a) Perform the appropriate hypothesis test on two variances at a significance level of 1%. Include the following information: i. Hypothesis / Identification of populations ii. Critical F-value(s) iii. Decision rule iv. F-ratio value v.

- 7. In a 2011 article, M. Radelet and G. Pierce reported a logistic prediction equation for the death penalty verdicts in North Carolina. Let Y denote whether a subject convicted of murder received the death penalty (1=yes), for the defendant's race h (h1, black; h = 2, white), victim's race i (i = 1, black; i = 2, white), and number of additional factors j (j = 0, 1, 2). For the model logit[P(Y = 1)] = a + ß₁₂ + By + B²², they reported = -5.26, D â BD = 0, BD = 0.17, BY = 0, BY = 0.91, B = 0, B = 2.02, B = 3.98.
