Answer to Problem 19CAP

The equation of the regression line is, Y^=0.36X+13.17.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The information given that is the case files to record the age of five criminals and the age of the victim in those cases with the factors age of a criminal (X) predicts the age of the victim (Y) for nonviolent crimes.

The procedure of straight line by using the method of least square is shown below:

  • Compute preliminary calculations.
  • Calculate the slope (b).
  • Calculate the y-intercept (a).

The formula for slope is,

slope(b)=SSXYSSX

Where,

SSXY=(XMX)(YMY)

SSX=(XMX)2

In the formulas, MX denotes the mean of factor X, MY denotes the mean of factor Y.

The formula for y-intercept is,

a=MYbMX

The regression equation is, Y^=bX+a.

The value of SSX:

The value of mean for X is,

MX=32+24+28+17+125=1135=22.6

XY(XMX)(XMX)2
3224(3222.6)=9.488.36
2420(2422.6)=1.41.96
2825(2822.6)=5.429.16
1722(1722.6)=5.631.36
1216(1222.6)=10.6112.36
(XMX)2=263.2

Table 1

The value of SSX is 263.2.

The value of SSXY:

The value of mean for Y is,

MY=24+20+25+22+165=1075=21.4

XY(XMX)(XMY)(XMX)(XMY)
3224(3222.6)=9.4(2421.4)=2.624.44
2420(2422.6)=1.4(2021.4)=1.4–1.96
2825(2822.6)=5.4(2521.4)=3.619.44
1722(1722.6)=5.6(2221.4)=0.6–3.36
1216(1222.6)=10.6(1621.4)=5.457.24
(XMX)(XMY)=95.8

Table 2

The value of SSXY is 95.8.

Slope:

Substitute, SSX=263.2 and SSXY=95.8 in slope formula

slope(b)=95.8263.2=0.364

Hence, the value of slope is 0.364.

Substitute, MY=21.4,MX=22.6,b=0.364 in y-intercept formula.

a=MYbMX=21.4(0.364)22.6=21.48.2264=13.174

Hence, the value of y-intercept is 13.174.

Substitute, a=13.174,b=0.364 in regression equation formula.

Y^=(0.364)X+13.174=0.36X+13.17

The equation of the regression line is, Y^=0.36X+13.17.

(b)

To determine

Find the predicted age of a victim of a nonviolent crime when the criminal is 20 years old.

(b)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 19CAP

The predicted age of a victim of a nonviolent crime when the criminal is 20 years old is 20.37 years old.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The given information is that the criminal is 20 years old.

The equation of the regression line is Y^=0.36X+13.17.

Substitute, X=20 in regression line.

Y^=0.36(20)+13.174=7.2+13.17=20.37

Hence, the predicted age of a victim of a nonviolent crime when the criminal is 20 years old is 20.37 years old.

The table below shows the estimated effects for a logistic regression model with squamous cell esophageal cancer (Y = 1, yes; Y = 0, no) as the response. Smoking status (S) equals 1 for at least one pack per day and 0 otherwise, alcohol consumption (A) equals the average number of alcohoic drinks consumed per day, and race (R) equals 1 for blacks and 0 for whites.

Find the fitted Y S conditional odds ratio in each case.  Next, write-out the logistic regression model when S = 0 and again when S = 1. Find the fitted Y R conditional odds ratio in each case.
The chi-squared goodness-of-fit test can be used to test if data comes from a specific continuous distribution by binning the data to make it categorical. Using the OpenIntro Statistics county_complete dataset, test the hypothesis that the persons_per_household 2019 values come from a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation equal to that variable's mean and standard deviation. Use signficance level a = 0.01. In your solution you should 1. Formulate the hypotheses 2.

That should give you a hint for how to calculate the expected frequencies. Remember that the expected frequencies are calculated under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true. FYI, the bounderies for each range were obtained using JASP's drag-and-drop cut function with 8 levels. Then some of the groups were merged. 3. Check any conditions required by the chi-squared…
Suppose that you want to estimate the mean monthly gross income of all households in your local community. You decide to estimate this population parameter by calling 150 randomly selected residents and asking each individual to report the household’s monthly income. Assume that you use the local phone directory as the frame in selecting the households to be included in your sample.  What are some possible sources of error that might arise in your effort to estimate the population mean?
