For unemployed persons in the United States, the average number of months of unemployment at the end of December 2009 was approximately seven months (Bureau of Labor Statistics, January 2010). Suppose the following data are for a particular region in upstate New York. The values in the first column show the number of
months unemployed and the values in the second column show the corresponding number of unemployed persons.

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.

(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.arrow_forwardThe 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?arrow_forwardAnalyze the residuals from the regression model on the patient satisfaction data from Exercise 3. Comment on the adequacy of the regression model.arrow_forward
- Consider the hypotheses: Hop=po H₁ppo where 2 is known. Derive a general expression for determining the sample size for detecting a true mean of 1μo with probability 1-ẞ if the type I error is a.arrow_forwardSuppose we wish to test the hypotheses: Họ : | = 15 H₁: 15 where we know that o² = 9.0. If the true mean is really 20, what sample size must be used to ensure that the probability of type II error is no greater than 0.10? Assume that a = 0.05.arrow_forwardTable 1 contains the data from a patient satisfaction survey for a group of 25 randomly selected patients at a hospital. In addition to satisfaction, data were collected on patient age and an index that measured the severity of illness. (a) Fit a linear regression model relating satisfaction to patient age. (b) Test for significance of regression. (c) What portion of the total variability is accounted for by the regressor variable age?
