(a)
To verify that it is more reasonable to simply explore the variables or to view one of the variable as an explanatory variable and the other as a response variable and in the latter case, which is explanatory and which is response variable.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
A response variable is a variable that measures an outcome or result of a study, while an explanatory variable is a variable that we think explains or causes changes in the response variables. Thus, we have in this part that the explanatory variable is the amount of time spent studying for a statistics exam. The response variable is the grade on the exam.
(b)
To verify that it is more reasonable to simply explore the variables or to view one of the variable as an explanatory variable and the other as a response variable and in the latter case, which is explanatory and which is response variable.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
A response variable is a variable that measures an outcome or result of a study, while an explanatory variable is a variable that we think explains or causes changes in the response variables. Thus, we have in this part thatit is more reasonable to simply explore the relationship between the two variables because both variables affect each other.
(c)
To verify that it is more reasonable to simply explore the variables or to view one of the variable as an explanatory variable and the other as a response variable and in the latter case, which is explanatory and which is response variable.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
A response variable is a variable that measures an outcome or result of a study, while an explanatory variable is a variable that we think explains or causes changes in the response variables. Thus, we have in this part thatthe explanatory variable is the inches of rain in the growing season. The response variable is the yield of corn in bushels per acre.
(d)
To verify that it is more reasonable to simply explore the variables or to view one of the variable as an explanatory variable and the other as a response variable and in the latter case, which is explanatory and which is response variable.
(d)
Explanation of Solution
A response variable is a variable that measures an outcome or result of a study, while an explanatory variable is a variable that we think explains or causes changes in the response variables. Thus, we have in this part thatit is more reasonable to simply explore the relationship between the two variables.

- Find the critical value for a left-tailed test using the F distribution with a 0.025, degrees of freedom in the numerator=12, and degrees of freedom in the denominator = 50. A portion of the table of critical values of the F-distribution is provided. Click the icon to view the partial table of critical values of the F-distribution. What is the critical value? (Round to two decimal places as needed.)arrow_forwardA retail store manager claims that the average daily sales of the store are $1,500. You aim to test whether the actual average daily sales differ significantly from this claimed value. You can provide your answer by inserting a text box and the answer must include: Null hypothesis, Alternative hypothesis, Show answer (output table/summary table), and Conclusion based on the P value. Showing the calculation is a must. If calculation is missing,so please provide a step by step on the answers Numerical answers in the yellow cellsarrow_forwardShow all workarrow_forward

The agency measures the average number of daily clicks on ads for three platforms: Social Media, Search Engines, and Email Campaigns. The agency collects data on daily clicks for each platform over a 10-day period and wants to test whether there is a statistically significant difference in the mean number of daily clicks among these platforms. Conduct ANOVA test. You can provide your answer by inserting a text box and the answer must include: also please provide a step by on getting the answers in excel Null hypothesis, Alternative hypothesis, Show answer (output table/summary table), and Conclusion based on the P value.arrow_forward
