- What might a scatterplot of data points look like if it were best described by a logarithmic model?arrow_forwardOlympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?arrow_forwardStrands of human hair absorb elements from the bloodstream and provide a historical record of both health and the use or nonuse of chemical substances. Hair grows at the rate of about one – half inch per month, and a person with long hair might be accused or absolved on the basis of a segment of hair that sprouted many months or years ago. By separately analyzing sections of the hair strand, scientists can even approximate the periods of time during which drug use was heavy, moderate, light or altogether absent. If a transit employee provides a strand of hair for drug testing, state the null and alternative hypothesis in verbal terms, then identify what would constitute a Type I error and Type II error in this situation.arrow_forward
- Age and obesity are the two strongest risk factors for treatment resistant hypertension (TRH), prompting many doctors to predict that as our population ages and gets heavier, the incidence of this unhealthy condition will increase. Suppose you have a new drug that you think will reduce TRH. Seven patients who have been diagnosed with high blood pressure volunteer for your study. They have their diastolic pressure measured before they take the drug, and after the drug has been administered and has had time to have an effect. The table below shows the result of your study. Does your new drug reduce blood pressure? Use alpha =.05. Identify the Independent variable and the dependent variable in the study. State the Null hypothesis and the alternative hypotheses. Using APA format, report your findings using the variables in the study.

When wildebeest are more abundant, they graze the more heavily, so there are fewer fires and more trees grow. Lions feed more successfully when there are more trees, so the lion population increases. Researchers collected data on one part of this cycle, wildebeest abundance (in thou- sands of animals) and the percent of the grass area burned in the same year. The results of a least-squares regression on the data are shown here.27 grass 06 80- 70 60 50- 40- 30- 20- 10- 1500 1000 Wildebeest (1000s) 500 750 1250 Percent burnedarrow_forwardA methodological study had established values for the MIC on a scale that measured physical function: The MIC for improvement (higher scores) was 4.0, and the MIC for deterioration (lower scores) was 3.0. Lawrence studied clinically significant change in physical functioning over a 1-year period for a sample of 100 patients with COPD. Some change score information is presented below for 10 patients. Which patients experienced clinically significant change in physical function in the 12-month period between assessments?

- The time interval between a person's initial infection with HIV and that person's eventual development of AIDS symptoms is an important issue. 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. Use your equation from part a to predict the number of years before three quarters of these patients will have AIDS. a. The linear equation is. (Simplify your answer. Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the equation. Round to four decimal places as needed.)

- (1 point) A new cream that advertises that it can reduce wrinkles and improve skin was subject to a recent study. A sample of 69 women over the age of 50 used the new cream for 6 months. Of those 69 women, 59 of them reported skin improvement(as judged by a dermatologist). Is this evidence that the cream will improve the skin of more than 60% of women over the age of 50? Test using a =0.01. (a) Test statistic: z = (b) Critical Value: z* = (c) The final conclusion is OA. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis thatp= 0.6. That is, there is not sufficient evidence to reject that the cream can improve the skin of more than 60% of women over 50. OB. We can reject the null hypothesis that p 0.6 and accept that p > 0.6. That is, the cream can improve the skin of more than 60% of women over 50.arrow_forwardSuppose you work as a researcher for a local anti-gambling advocacy group. You decide to conduct a small study to investigate the impact gambling has on a person's financial status. 29 participants play an identical amount of a new gambling game for a month, and record the net decrease in their financial status at the end of the period. Your survey reveals that the average participant yielded a sample average of 39.64, and a s of 112.84. Using this information, you want to create a 95% confidence interval around the sample mean (net decrease in financial status). What is the upper bound of the confidence interval in your analysis?
