West Virginia has one of the highest divorce rates in the nation, with an annual rate of approximately 5 divorces per 1000 people (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, January 12, 2012). The Marital Counseling Center, Inc. (MCC) thinks that the high divorce rate in the state may require them to hire additional staff. Working with a consultant, the management of MCC has developed the following probability distribution for x = the number of new clients for marriage counseling for the next year. Excel File: data05-19.xls 10 20 f(x) .05 .10 11 30 40 50 60 .10 .20 .35 .20 a. Is this probability distribution valid? Yes Explain. greater than or equal to 0 f(x) Σf(x) equal to 1 b. What is the probability MCC will obtain more than 30 new clients (to 2 decimals)? c. What is the probability MCC will obtain fewer than 20 new clients (to 2 decimals)? d. Compute the expected value and variance of x. Expected value Variance clients per year squared clients per year
Reconsider the patient satisfaction data in Table 1. Fit a multiple regression model using both patient age and severity as the regressors. (a) Test for significance of regression. (b) Test for the individual contribution of the two regressors. Are both regressor variables needed in the model? (c) Has adding severity to the model improved the quality of the model fit? Explain your answer.
The output voltage of a power supply is assumed to be normally distributed. Sixteen observations taken at random on voltage are as follows: 10.35, 9.30, 10.00, 9.96, 11.65, 12.00, 11.25, 9.58, 11.54, 9.95, 10.28, 8.37, 10.44, 9.25, 9.38, and 10.85. (a) Test the hypothesis that the mean voltage equals 12 V against a two-sided alternative using a = 0.05. (b) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on μ. (c) Test the hypothesis that σ² = 11 using α = 0.05. (d) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on σ. (e) Construct a 95% upper confidence interval on σ. (f) Does the assumption of normality seem reasonable for the output voltage?
