A professor in a university polled a dozen colleagues about the number of professional meetings they attended in the past five years (x) and the number of papers they submitted to refereed journals (y) during the same period. The summary data are given as follows: n = 12, x = 4, y = 12, E x} = = 232, 2 x;Yi = 318. i=1 i=1 1. Find the values of SSx and SSxy. SS, and SSry 2. Find a simple linear regression model between x and y by finding out the estimates of intercept and slope. Bo and Bi %3D

The line of best fit through a set of data is ý = 38.241 – 1.827r According to this equation, what is the predicted value of the dependent variable when the independent variable has value 20? y = Round to 1 decimal place.

A researcher is interested in testing the relationship between smoking and BMI (kg/m2) in adults aged 30-45. In order to test this association, the researcher divides smoking into currently more than a pack a day, currently less than a pack a day, and never smokers. The following table represents the BMIs for each participant enrolled by their respective smoking category. Current Smoker (≥1pack/day) Current Smoker (<1 pack/day Never Smoked 26.7 29.4 22.1 29.4 28.6 30.4 24.3 27.4 21.3 28.4 23.2 26.4 21.6 20.1 19.7 27.4 20.6 19.8 26.8 19.7 21.6 36.4 19.6 22.3 31.5   21.6 24.3   27.4 21.5     *Continue as though all assumptions for ANOVA are met. A) Calculate the MSW and MSB for the data represented above. B) Carry out a formal test for a one-way analysis of variance among the groups and interpret your results.

Suppose u1 and uz are true mean stopping distances at 50 mph for cars of a certain type equipped with two different types of braking systems. The data follows: m = 6, x = 115.6, s1 = 5.03, n = 6, y = 129.9, and s2 = 5.38. Calculate a 95% CI for the difference between true average stopping distances for cars equipped with system 1 and cars equipped with system 2. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) In USE SALT Does the interval suggest that precise information about the value of this difference is available? Because the interval is so narrow, it appears that precise information is available. Because the interval is so narrow, it appears that precise information is not available. o Because the interval is so wide, it appears that precise information is not available. o Because the interval is so wide, it appears that precise information is available.
