A medical student at a community college in city Q wants to study the factors affecting the systolic blood pressure of a person (Y). Generally, the systolic blood pressure depends on the BMI of a person (B) and the age of the person A. She wants
to test whether or not the BMI has a significant effect on the systolic blood pressure, keeping the age of the person constant. For her study, she collects a random sample of 150 patients from the city and estimates the following regression
function:
Y= 15.50 +0.90B + 1.10A.
(0.48) (0.35)
The test statistic of the study the student wants to conduct (Ho: B, =0 vs. H4: B, #0), keeping other variables constant is.
(Round your answer to two decimal places.)
At the 5% significance level, the student will
v the null hypothesis.
Keeping BMI constant, she now wants
test whether the age of a person (A) has no significant effect or a positive effect on the person's systolic blood pressure.
So, the test statistic associated with the one-sided test the…
Efforts by airlines to improve on-time arrival rates are showing results. Boston.com reports that in the first 10 months of 2012 on-time arrival rates at U.S. airports were the highest they have been since 2003. During this period 82% of flights landed within 15 minutes of their scheduled time. Are there differences among the major airlines? The data in Sheet 35 show the number of on-time arrivals for samples of flight taken from seven major U.S. airlines in 2012. Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is the p-value and what is your conclusion?

- 1) A series of experiments were conducted to determine the effect of air voids on percentage retained strength of asphalt. For purposes of the experiment, air voids are controlled at three levels; low (1-3%), medium (4-6%), and high (7-9%). The data are shown in Table 1. Do the different levels of air voids significantly affect mean retained strength? Use a = 0.05.

Subjects were sampled based on their clinical change to treatment and then asked whether they had a high or low degree of infiltration. The degree of infiltration measures a type of skin damage. We will use clinical change response scores {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3}. The question of interest is whether degree of infiltration is associated with clinical change. (a) Compute the sample proportions of having a high degree of infiltration for each clinical change group? What type of variable is Clinical Change? (B)Conduct a Cochran-Armitage trend test at the 5% significance level to determine whether there is an association between degree of infiltration and clinical change.

You collect data on the number of cigarettes smoked per day and whether or not the child developed asthma by the age of two.
