- 2. The instructor of a mathematics class collected data to see whether there is a correlation between the number of absences (X) and the student's score on the final exam (Y). The number of absences and score on the final exam were recorded. The following regression equation was obtained: Final score = 92.5317 – 3.7611 (Absences) a) (5 points) What would be the predicted final exam score for a student that had 10 absences? b) (5 points) The student from part (a) actually scored a 60 on the final exam.

A report this past year, coming from a random sample of 20 countries, contained the following information: the least-squares regression equation relating the two variables number of births per one thousand people (denoted by x) and female life expectancy (denoted by y and measured in years) is y = 82.28 – 0.51 x, and the standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line is approximately 0.35. Based on this information, test for a significant linear relationship between these two variables by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope B,. (Assume that the variable y follows a normal distribution for each value of x and that the other regression assumptions are satisfied.) Use the 0.10 level of significance, and perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the…arrow_forward
- Distress in EMSworkers. The Journal consulting and Clinical Psychology reported on a study of emergency service (EMS) rescue workers who responded to the I-880 freeway collapse during a San Francisco earthquake. The goal of the study was to identify the predictors of symptomatic distress in the EMS workers. One of the distress variables studied was the Global Symptom Index (GSI). Several models for GSI, y, were considered based on the following independent variables: x1 = Critical Incident Exposure scale (CIE) x2 = Hogan Personality Inventory—Adjustment scale (HPI-A) x3 = Years of experience (EXP) x4 = Locus of Control scale (LOC) x5 = Social Support scale (SS) x6 = Dissociative Experiences scale (DES) x7 = Peritraumatic Dissociation Experiences Questionnaire, self-report (PDEQ-SR) (a) Write a first-order model for E(y) as a function of the first five independent variables, x1 –x5. (b) The model of part a, fitted to data collected for n = 147 EMS workers, yielded the following results:…arrow_forward3. The following model is a simplified version of the multiple regression model used by BEST Econometrics Group to study the trade off between time spent sleeping and working to look at other factors affecting sleep: sleep %3D Bo + Вitotwrk + Bzeduc + Bзадe + M, where sleep and totwork (total work) are measure in minutes per week and educ and age are measured in years. (i) If adults trade sleep for work, what is the sign of B,? (ii) What signs do you think B2 and B3 wilI have?

Is this a large tradeoff? (iv) Discuss the sign and magnitude of the estimated coefficient on educ. (v) Would you say totwrk, educ, and age explain much of the variation in sleep? What other factors might affect the time spent sleeping? Are these likely to be correlated with totwrk?arrow_forwardA weight-loss program wants to test how well their program is working. The company selects a simple random sample of 51 individual that have been using their program for 15 months. For each individual person, the company records the individual's weight when they started the program 15 months ago as an x-value. The subject's current weight is recorded as a y-value. Therefore, a data point such as (205, 190) would be for a specific person and it would indicate that the individual started the program weighing 205 pounds and currently weighs 190 pounds. In other words, they lost 15 pounds. When the company performed a regression analysis, they found a correlation coefficient of r = 0.707. This clearly shows there is strong correlation, which got the company excited. However, when they showed their data to a statistics professor, the professor pointed out that correlation was not the right tool to show that their program was effective. Correlation will NOT show whether or not there is…arrow_forward
