In 1999, the average percentage of women who received prenatal care per country is 80.1%. Table #7.3.9 contains the percentage of woman receiving prenatal care in 2009 for a sample of countries ("Pregnant woman receiving," 2013). Do the data show that the average percentage of women receiving prenatal care in 2009 is higher than in 1999? Test at the 5% level.

A clinician interested in agoraphobia (fear of public places) tests a new treatment method. She samples five agoraphobics from her clinic and has them report how many times they ventured out of their houses (on their own) in the past month. They then received relaxation training and were introduced to trips away from their homes at gradually increasing durations. After 2 months, subjects again reported how many times they ventured (on their own) out of their houses. The data are below. Assess whether there is a significant change in trips outside the home from before to after therapy.
a. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
b. What inferential test did you use? Using an alpha level of .05, determine whether the sample was significantly different from population.

- What does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?arrow_forwardUse this data for the exercises that follow: In 2013, there were roughly 317 million citizens in the United States, and about 40 million were elderly (aged 65 and over).[34] 60. It is predicted that by 2030, one in five U.S. citizens will be elderly. How much greater will the chances of meeting an elderly person be at that time? What policy changes do you foresee if these statistics hold true?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_forward
- Malak is designing an experiment. In this experiment, he wants know if "learning about sustainable investing" actually causes people to invest more sustainably. He sets up an experiment with two groups: one group receives a course on sustainable investing , the other group does not . Then, over the course of the next 10 years, sustainable investing behavior is measured (so as a researcher Malak keeps track of the participants ' investing behavior with their own money in their life, at yearly intervals , for one decade ).

Different formulas are used for different colleges and majors. Suppose that a student is applying to a university with an intended major in civil engineering. Also suppose that for this college and this major, the following model is used to predict first term GPA. GPA = a + b(ACT) a = 0.6 b = 0.2 (a) In this context, what would be the appropriate interpretation of the value of a? The value of a is the predicted ACT score of a student who has a 0 GPA. There is not enough information to know how to interpret the value of a. The value of a represents the change in predicted GPA associated with an increase of 1 in ACT score. The value of a represents the change in predicted GPA associated with an decrease of 1 in ACT score. The value of a is the predicted GPA of a student who scored a 0 on the ACT.

Company also offers a credit card where customers get additional offers if they use that card when they make purchases from their online store. For those customers who has their credit card, the company has additional information such as age, yearly income, etc. The company management is interested in looking at the relationship between the income (in 1000s of dollars) and the total yearly purchases from their store for these credit card holders . They have gathered this information from a random sample of 42 credit card holders. Below provided is a partial MINITAB output for predicting the yearly purchases from the income. Identify the response and the predictor variable in this study. Write the equation of the least squares regression line for predicting the total yearly purchase from the income of the customer. What percentage of variation in total yearly purchase is explained by income of the customer?…arrow_forward

Also, state an example if this can happen?arrow_forwardWhat is model breakdown?arrow_forwardA popular uprising that started on January 25, 2011 in Egypt led to the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. Polls show that about 70% of American adults followed the news about the political crisis and demonstrations in Egypt closely during the first couple weeks following the start of the uprising. Among a random sample of 60 high school students, it was found that only 34 of them followed the news about Egypt closely during this time. Describe how to perform one repetition of a simulation of the proportion of high school students who followed the Egyptian Revolution using blue and yellow poker chips and, once you had results, how to estimate the p-value.arrow_forward
- Is it possible to predict the annual number of business bankruptcies by the number of firm births (business starts) in the United States? The following data published by the U.S. Small Business Administration, Office of Advocacy, are pairs of the number of business bankruptcies (1,000s) and the number of firm births (10,000s) for a six-year period. Business Bankruptcies (1,000) 34.3 Firm Births (10,000) 58.1 35.0 55.4 38.5 57.0 40.1 58.5 35.5 57.4 37.9 58.0 i) Based on the output given, use these data to develop the equation of the regression model to predict the number of business bankruptcies by the number of firm births. ii) Explain the values of r and r. iii) Predict the number of business bankruptcies if the number of firm births is 54.0 (10,000s). iv) Do the data support the existence of a linear relationship between the number of firm births and the number of business bankruptcies?
