I just need to know why this is wrong below: What is the test statistic W? W=5 (incorrect) and  What is the p-value of this test? (p-value < 0.001-- incorrect)   Use the Wilcoxon signed rank test to test the hypothesis that the median number of pages in the statistics books in the library from which the sample was taken is 400. A sample of 12 statistics books have the following numbers of pages pages 127 217 486 132 397 297 396 327 292 256 358 272 What is the sum of the negative ranks (W-)? 75 What is the sum of the positive ranks (W+)? 5What type of test is this?     two tailedWhat is the test statistic W? 5 These are the critical values for a 1-tailed Wilcoxon Signed Rank test for n=12 Alpha Level 0.001 0.005 0.01 0.025 0.05 0.1 0.2 Critical Value 75 70 68 64 60 56 50 What is the p-value for this test?         p-value < 0.001
ons 12. A sociologist hypothesizes that the crime rate is higher in areas with higher poverty rate and lower median income. She col- lects data on the crime rate (crimes per 100,000 residents), the poverty rate (in %), and the median income (in $1,000s) from 41 New England cities. A portion of the regression results is shown in the following table. Standard Coefficients error t stat p-value Intercept -301.62 549.71 -0.55 0.5864 Poverty 53.16 14.22 3.74 0.0006 Income 4.95 8.26 0.60 0.5526 a. b. Are the signs as expected on the slope coefficients? Predict the crime rate in an area with a poverty rate of 20% and a median income of $50,000. 3. Using data from 50 work
2. The owner of several used-car dealerships believes that the selling price of a used car can best be predicted using the car's age. He uses data on the recent selling price (in $) and age of 20 used sedans to estimate Price = Po + B₁Age + ε. A portion of the regression results is shown in the accompanying table. Standard Coefficients Intercept 21187.94 Error 733.42 t Stat p-value 28.89 1.56E-16 Age -1208.25 128.95 -9.37 2.41E-08 a. What is the estimate for B₁? Interpret this value. b. What is the sample regression equation? C. Predict the selling price of a 5-year-old sedan.
