- What does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?arrow_forwardOlympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?arrow_forwardUrban Travel Times Population of cities and driving times are related, as shown in the accompanying table, which shows the 1960 population N, in thousands, for several cities, together with the average time T, in minutes, sent by residents driving to work. City Population N Driving time T Los Angeles 6489 16.8 Pittsburgh 1804 12.6 Washington 1808 14.3 Hutchinson 38 6.1 Nashville 347 10.8 Tallahassee 48 7.3 An analysis of these data, along with data from 17 other cities in the United States and Canada, led to a power model of average driving time as a function of population. a Construct a power model of driving time in minutes as a function of population measured in thousands b Is average driving time in Pittsburgh more or less than would be expected from its population? c If you wish to move to a smaller city to reduce your average driving time to work by 25, how much smaller should the city be?arrow_forward

The company states that the vaccine will be equally effective for men and women. In its initial stage, a researcher selects a random sample of 200 men and 100 women independently. At the end of the study, 15 of the men and 10 of the women showed symptoms of the virus after taking the vaccine. Is there enough evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference in the proportions of men and women who show symptoms of the virus after taking the vaccine? (a) State the appropriate hypotheses to answer this question. (b) Compute the test-statistic. (c) (i) Calculate the p-value. (ii) Interpret the p-value you have found. (d) State your conclusion in context of the situation. Page 1 135arrow_forwardquestion 8arrow_forward
- Lecture(8.1): A research study was conducted that measured empathy after watching Sesame street for five days in a row. The study was conducted twice. For Study A the researcher recruited 20 children and randomly assigned them into 2 groups, one group who watched Sesame street. and a second group who did not watched Sesame street. Empathy was measured after 5 days. For study B the researcher decided to only recruit only 10 children who all watched Sesame street and this time measued empathy before the first hour of Sesame street and again afte 5 days once the lasr hour was watched. Which of these studies uses an independent sample and which uses a dependent sample.?arrow_forwardQuestion 1 Phil has always been an avid coffee drinker. However, a few years ago his close friend pointed out to him that maybe he drinks too much coffee. Concerned that his friend might be right, Phil decided to collect some data on his coffee drinking habits. Over a random selection of 500 days, for each day Phil recorded how many coffees he had on that day and the day of the week (i.e., Monday, Tuesday, etc.). The data are summarised in the table of counts below. Mon 0 13 Number 1 21 of 2 26 Coffees 3 11 4 9 A. Considering only Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, calculate a 79.6% confidence interval for the true proportion of days on which Phil has less than 3 coffees. Test whether the true proportion of Mondays on which Phil has more than 2 coffees is less than the true proportion of Fridays on which Phil has less than 2 coffees. Clearly state your hypotheses and use a significance level of a = 0.6%. C. On Wednesdays, Phil thinks that he is four times as likely to have less than 2…arrow_forward22arrow_forward
