Chapter 9.5, Problem 14MS
Abstinence evidence? President George W. Bush emphasized “abstinence-only” sex education during his two terms beginning in 2000 and 2004. Teen pregnancy rates rose by 3% between 2005 and 2006, the first annual increase since 1991. Is this evidence for a causal relationship between the Bush policies and teen pregnancy rates?

"Bullying." according to noted expert Dan Olweus, "poisons the educational environment and affects the learning of every child." Bullying and
victimization are evident as early as preschool, with the problem peaking in middle school. Suppose you are interested in the emotional well-being of
not only the victims but also bystanders, bullies, and those who bully but who are also victims (bully-victims). You decide to measure depression in a
group of victims and a group of bully-victims using a 26-item, 3-point depression scale. Assume scores on the depression scale are normally
distributed and that the variances of the depression scores are the same among victims and bully-victims.
The group of 25 victims scored an average of 25.3 with a sample standard deviation of 9 on the depression scale. The group of 23 bully-victims scored
an average of 20.5 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the same scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions about whether victims or
bully-victims…

According to sales information in the first quarter of 2016, 2.5% of new vehicles sold in the United States were hybrids. This is down
from 2.8% for the same period a year earlier. An analyst's review of the data indicates that the reasons for the sales decline include the
low price of gasoline and the higher price of a hybrid compared to similar vehicles. Let's assume these statistics remain the same for
2017. That is, 2.5 percent of new car sales are hybrids in the first quarter of 2017. For a sample of 35 vehicles sold in the Richmond,
Virginia, area:
a. How many vehicles would you expect to be hybrid? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Expected veloe
b. Use the Poisson distribution to find the probability that four of the sales were hybrid vehicles. (Round your answer to 4 decimal
places.)
Probebility
c. Use the binomial distribution to find the probability that four of the sales were hybrid vehicles. (Round your answer to 4 decimel
places.)

- Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.arrow_forwardA universal childcare program was introduced in London in the early 2000s.

- 2 Many students over the last couple of years have been earning money as social networking service influencers. The amount of influencers and their popularity has been growing steadily. The top 50 social networking service influencers have over 3 billion followers together. Unfortunately, this development has a downside for dogs. According to a recent newspaper article, dogs deemed less playful for video sharing social networking services are being dumped at shelters. The general perception of playfulness disproportionately affects older dogs. The accompanying table gives the data for a random selection of dogs from a local shelter for a correlation of age and days. Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the average number of days a dog that is 4 years old will stay at the shelter. Click the icon to view the data table.

It is estimated that absenteeism reduces potential output by more than 10%. Two economists launched a research project to learn more about the problem. They randomly selected 100 organizations to participate in a 1-year study. For each organization, they recorded the average number of days absent per employee and several variables thought to affect absenteeism. Management’s goal here is to analyze the data and determine which factors may be helpful in predicting absenteeism. Now let us build a model to predict absenteeism based on key independent variables available in this dataset; wage, PctPT, PctU, Av Shift and U/MRel The following down below is the correlation matrix between absenteeism and potential independent variables. Why are the variables AvShift and U/MRel excluded from this correlation matrix? Which variable in the matrix is likely to provide the best simple linear regression model and why?
