Reading is fundamental to a teenager's ability to perform well in school. Assume a researcher is interested in the ability of the number of books read over the summer to predict ACT Reading scores. Using a random sample of 10 random high school students the researchers recorded the number of books read over the summer and the students' ACT Reading scores. Books Read (X) ACT Score (Y) (X- Xmean) (Y - Ymean) (X-Xmean)(Y-Ymean) (X-Xmean)? (Y - Ymean)? 2 16 -5.4 -14.9 81 29 221 2 19 -5.4 -11.9 64 29 141 3 17 -4.4 -13.9 61 20 192 4 25 -3.4 -5.9 20 12 34 21 -3.4 -9.9 34 12 97 24 -1.4 -6.9 10 2 47 6 21 -1.4 -9.9 14 2 97 8 24 0.6 -6.9 -4 47 7 27 -0.4 -3.9 2 15 10 22 2.6 -8.9 -23 7 78 Total 52 216 259.1 113.3 969.3 МEAN 7.4 30.9 a. Identify the regression line using the number of books read to predict ACT Reading score. Use a = .05 to evaluate the quality of the prediction of the regression line. b. What is the predicted ACT Reading score when 5 books are read?

LDL - low density lipoprotien - cholesterol is considered the bad cholesterol. A pharmaceutical company conducts a clinical trial on people with high levels of LDL cholesterol. The trial involves a random sample of n = 13 persons who have high levels of LDL. Each person has their LDL level measured prior to the beginning of the drug trial. Each person is then to take a new drug that is believed to lower ones LDL levels. After a period of 4-weeks, the LDL level of each person is measured again. The difference between the initial LDL level and the LDL-level four weeks after taking the drug is then computed. -0.44, -0.63,-0.73, 0.38, -0.21, 0.05, -0.53, -1.02, -0.3, -0.32, -0.06, -0.4, -0.63 Data from the sample, are saved in the Download .csv file. Assuming the difference in the LDL-levels is Normally distributed, find a 94% confidence interval for μ, the mean difference in the LDL-level of a person after taking the drug for four weeks. Use at least four decimals for your lower and upper…
