- 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.

- Question #34 The owner of a small deli is trying to decide whether to discontinue selling magazines. He suspects that only 9% of his customers buy a magazine and he thinks that he might be able to use the display space to sell something more profitable. Before making a final decision, he decides that for one day he will keep track of the number of customers that buy a magazine. Assuming his suspicion that 9% of his customers buy a magazine is correct, what is the probability that exactly 6 out of the first 10 customers buy a magazine? 0.0000367300 0.0000674675 0.0000234680 0.0000814185 0.0000341752 0.0000765314arrow_forwardSince the discovery of the tiger gar population in Lake Richmond, the population of bluegill fish has also shown significant change: 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2,465 2,092 1,783 1,513 1,287 1,094 If the current change in population continues, how many bluegill could be expected to live in the lake in the year 2025?

- (7)Use the information in the following setting to answer questions a and b. Researchers are interested in determining if a weight loss drug is effective. 17 people were selected to participate in the study. Their initial weights were recorded and after 6 weeks, they were weighted once again. Descriptive statistics for the difference in weight (in pounds) are given in Output 1 below, where the difference was recorded as initial weight – weight after 6 weeks. Output 1: Descriptive Statistics (difference) Variable N Mean SE mean StDev Difference 17 3.353 1.105 4.554 Using a 0.05 significance level, perform a hypothesis test to see if the weight loss drug is effective. Suppose the weight loss drug will only go to market if it provides, on average, weight loss of a t least 3 pounds. What hypothesis would the researchers need to test in this case?

Which of the following statements is correct? There is a mistake with this regression model because all the coefficients of the indicator variables are positive. There is no indicator variable for the June quarter in this model because there is no seasonal effect in June due to winter in Australia. There is a mistake with this model because the indicator variable for the June quarter has been left out. There is no indicator variable for the June quarter because the model has an intercept and including the June quarter would result in perfect multicollinearity.arrow_forward
