According to the Ameriprise Financial Money Across Generations study, 9 out of 10 parents with adult children ages 20 to 35 have helped their adult children with some type of financial assistance ranging from college, a car, rent, utilities, credit card debt, and/or down payments for houses. The following table with sample data consistent with the study 2|Page shows the number of times parents have given their adult children financial assistance to buy a car and to pay rent. Pay Rent Yes No Buy a car Yes 583 529 No 169 788 a. Develop a joint probability table and use it to answer the remaining questions. b. If parents did not provide financial assistance to buy a car, what it the probability that the parents assisted with paying rent? C. Is financial assistance to buy a car independent of financial assistance to pay rent? Use probabilities to justify your answer.

The closing price of the Standard and Poor 500 Stock Covered Call Index is being recorded and put in a dataset each day. Suppose that the average index price is $2,447.93. If the distribution of the index price is left-skewed (e.g. in the plot below), will the median be larger, smaller, or approximately equal to $2,447.93? S&P 500 Index Price ($)

A statistical program is recommended. Occasionally, it has been the case that home prices and mortgage rates dropped so low that in a number of cities the monthly cost of owning a home was less expensive than renting. The following data show the average asking rent for 10 markets and the monthly mortgage on the median priced home (including taxes and insurance) for 10 cities where the average monthly mortgage payment was less than the average asking rent. City Rent ($) Mortgage ($) A 840 539 B 1,062 1,002 C 823 628 D 779 713 E 796 655 F 1,071 975 G 953 776 H 851 695 I 762 651 J 723 654 Develop the estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the monthly mortgage given the average asking rent. (Round your numerical values to three decimal places.) ŷ = c.) Do the assumptions about the error term and model form seem reasonable in light of the residual plot? The plot suggests curvature in the residuals indicating that the assumption of a linear relationship between the…
