- What does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?arrow_forwardTable 6 shows the population, in thousands, of harbor seals in the Wadden Sea over the years 1997 to 2012. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=0 for the year 1997. Let y represent the number of seals in thousands. Use logistic regression to fit a model to these data. b. Use the model to predict the seal population for the year 2020. c. To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?arrow_forwardTable 2 shows a recent graduate’s credit card balance each month after graduation. a. Use exponential regression to fit a model to these data. b. If spending continues at this rate, what will the graduate’s credit card debt be one year after graduating?arrow_forward
- Pulse rates of adult men are approximately normal with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 8. Which choice correctly describes how to find the proportion of men that have a pulse rate greater than 78? (a) Find the area to the right of z = -1 under a standard normal curve. (b) Find the area to the right of z=1 under a standard normal curve. (c) Find the area to the left of z = 1 under a standard normal curve. (d) Find the area between z=-1 and z=1 under a standard normal curve. (e) None of the abovearrow_forwardhow about the equation of the normal line?arrow_forwardPulmonary Disease Forced expiratory volume (FEV) is an index of pulmonary function that measures the volume of air expelled after 1 second of constant effort. FEV is influenced by age, sex, and cigarette smoking. Assume that in 45- to 54-year-old nonsmoking men FEV is normally distributed with mean = 4.1 L and standard deviation = 0.5 L. = 0.6 L. (Assume that FEV can be measured exactly and no continuity correction is In comparably aged currently smoking men FEV is normally distributed, with mean = 3.9 L and standard deviation necessary. Round your answers to four decimal places.) USE SALT (a) If an FEV of less than 2.5 L is regarded as showing some functional impairment (occasional breathlessness, inability to climb stairs, etc.), then what is the probability that a currently smoking man has functional impairment? (b) What is the probability that a currently nonsmoking man has functional impairment? Some people are not functionally impaired now, but their pulmonary function usually…arrow_forward
- Climate change and CO2 2011 Data collected fromaround the globe show that the earth is getting warmer.The most common theory relates climate change to anincrease in atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2),a greenhouse gas. The mean annual CO2 concentration inthe atmosphere (parts per million) is measured at the top of Mauna Loa in Hawaii, away from any local contami-nants. (Available at ftp://ftp.cmdl.noaa.gov/ccg/co2/ trends/co2_annmean_mlo.tx)The mean surface air temperature is recorded as thechange in °C relative to a base period of 1951 to 1980.(Available at data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs_v3/)Here are a scatterplot and regression for the years from1959 to 2011:Dependent variable is TempR-squared = 82.3%s = 0.0985 with 53 - 2 = 51 degrees of freedomVariable Coefficient SE(Coeff) t-Ratio P-ValueIntercept -2.98861 0.2086 -14.3 ...0.0001CO2 0.0092 0.0006 15.4 ...0.0001a) Write the equation of the regression line.b) Is there evidence of an association between CO2 leveland global…arrow_forwardnormal distribution has mean= 250 and sd = 20. (a) Find the z score corresponding to x = 235. (b) Find the z score corresponding to x = 320.arrow_forwardDavid and Patrick are playing baseball for the Cafe Tropical team. Suppose that the distance of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 250 feet and a standard deviation of 50 feet. If X = distance in feet for a fly ball, then X ~ N ( , ) If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled less than 220 feet? Sketch the graph. Scale the horizontal axis X. Shade the region corresponding to the probability. Find the probability. P = Find the 80th percentile of the distribution of fly balls. 80th Percentile: feetarrow_forward
