A study was carried out to investigate the relationship between the hardness of molded plastic (y, in Brinell units) and the amount of time elapsed since the plastic was molded (x, in hours). Summary quantities include n = 15, SSResid = 1235.470, and SSTo = 25,321.368. Calculate and interpret the value of the coefficient of determination.

Ehlers measured the difference in corneal thickness (in microns) between the two eyes of eight patients. Each patient had one eye that had glaucoma and one eye that was normal. The difference was measured as the corneal thickness of normal eye – corneal thickness of eye with Glaucoma. Corneal thickness is important because it can mask an accurate reading of eye pressure. Use ? = .05. Q)Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that corneal thickness is different in normal eyes compared to eyes with glaucoma? Write up your results using the 8 steps.arrow_forwardGlaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the United States, N.

Hypothesis: H0: μd=0Ha: μd≠0 Using output Test statistics : t=0.134P value=0.897 Degrees of freedom (df): df=7 Level of significance: α=0.05 Decision: P value > 0.05 thus we fails to reject null hypothesis. Question a)Write a report summarizing your findings. When writing the report consider that medical staff estimate that a difference of 4.5 microns or more could impact on their ability to interpret eye pressure correctly. b) Define for the hypothesis stated in part b) what a type 1 error and type 2 error would mean.

The ability to estimate the volume of a tree based on a simple measurement, such as the diameter of the tree, is important to the lumber industry, ecologists, and conservationists. Data on volume, in cubic feet, and diameter at breast height, in inches, for 70 shortleaf pines was reported in C. Bruce and F. X. Schumacher’s Forest Mensuration (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1935) and analyzed by A. C. Akinson in the article “Transforming Both Sides of a Tree” (The American Statistician, Vol. 48, pp. 307–312). The data are provided on the WeissStats site. a. obtain and interpret the standard error of the estimate. b. obtain a residual plot and a normal probability plot of the residuals. c. decide whether you can reasonably consider Assumptions 1–3 for regression inferences met by the two variables under consideration.arrow_forwardUse Microsoft Excel to answer all the questions The grams of solids removed from a material (y) is thought to be related to the drying time.
