(a)
To describe the relationship between the total mortgages and interest rates.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
It is given that in question a
We can see that the relationship between the total mortgages and the interest rates is that the association between the total mortgages and the interest rates isnegative, linear and moderately strong. And by looking at the scatterplot, we can see that the graph is decreasing downward sloping as the dots are in the downward direction.
(b)
To explain what would the
(b)
Answer to Problem 32E
It will not change.
Explanation of Solution
It is given that in question a scatterplot of total mortgages and interest rates at various times over the past years. And also the correlation between the total mortgages and interest rate is
It is given if we standardized both the variables that is if we standardized both total mortgage and interest rate then, the correlation coefficient would remain the same as it does not affect the correlation coefficient and we would put them in z -scores only.
(c)
To explain how would the correlation change if we had measured total mortgages in thousands of dollars instead of millions of dollars.
(c)
Answer to Problem 32E
It will not change.
Explanation of Solution
It is given that in question a scatterplot of total mortgages and interest rates at various times over the past years. And also the correlation between the total mortgages and interest rate is
It is given if we had measured total mortgages in thousands of dollars instead of millions of dollars, the correlation coefficient would remain the same as it does not affect the correlation coefficient as it is not affected by the units of measurements.
(d)
To explain how would includingthat year with these data affect the correlation coefficient.
(d)
Answer to Problem 32E
Correlation would be lower.
Explanation of Solution
It is given that in question a scatterplot of total mortgages and interest rates at various times over the past years. And also the correlation between the total mortgages and interest rate is
It is given that in the year that is to be added, interest rate were
(e)
To explain do these data provide proof that if mortgage rates are lowered people will take out more mortgages or not.
(e)
Answer to Problem 32E
No.
Explanation of Solution
It is given that in question a scatterplot of total mortgages and interest rates at various times over the past years. And also the correlation between the total mortgages and interest rate is
No, these data does not provide proof that that if mortgage rates are lowered people will take out more mortgagesbecause the correlation coefficient does not cause causation.

- Task Description: Read the following case study and answer the questions that follow. Ella is a 9-year-old third-grade student in an inclusive classroom. She has been diagnosed with Emotional and Behavioural Disorder (EBD). She has been struggling academically and socially due to challenges related to self-regulation, impulsivity, and emotional outbursts. Ella's behaviour includes frequent tantrums, defiance toward authority figures, and difficulty forming positive relationships with peers. Despite her challenges, Ella shows an interest in art and creative activities and demonstrates strong verbal skills when calm. Describe 2 strategies that could be implemented that could help Ella regulate her emotions in class (4 marks) Explain 2 strategies that could improve Ella’s social skills (4 marks) Identify 2 accommodations that could be implemented to support Ella academic progress and provide a rationale for your recommendation.(6 marks) Provide a detailed explanation of 2 ways…arrow_forwardQuestion 2: When John started his first job, his first end-of-year salary was $82,500. In the following years, he received salary raises as shown in the following table. Fill the Table: Fill the following table showing his end-of-year salary for each year. I have already provided the end-of-year salaries for the first three years. Calculate the end-of-year salaries for the remaining years using Excel. (If you Excel answer for the top 3 cells is not the same as the one in the following table, your formula / approach is incorrect) (2 points) Geometric Mean of Salary Raises: Calculate the geometric mean of the salary raises using the percentage figures provided in the second column named “% Raise”. (The geometric mean for this calculation should be nearly identical to the arithmetic mean. If your answer deviates significantly from the mean, it's likely incorrect. 2 points) Starting salary % Raise Raise Salary after raise 75000 10% 7500 82500 82500 4% 3300…arrow_forwardI need help with this problem and an explanation of the solution for the image described below.

For a ran- domly selected policyholder, let X = the number of months between successive payments. The cdf of X is as follows: F(x)=0.00 : x < 10.30 : 1≤x<30.40 : 3≤ x < 40.45 : 4≤ x <60.60 : 6≤ x < 121.00 : 12≤ x a. What is the pmf of X?b.
