Question
According to the data reported by the New York State Department of Health regarding West Nile Virus for the years 2000-2004, the least squares line equation for the number of reported dead birds (x) versus the number of human West Nile virus cases (y) is
ŷ = −10.2638 + 0.0491x.
If the number of dead birds reported in a year is 534, how many human cases of West Nile virus can be expected? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
___ cases

One of the relationships he investigated was maximal sprint speed in kilometers per hour and the ratio of metatarsal-to-femur length. A least-squares regression on the data he collected produces the equation ŷ = 37.67 + 33.18x where x is metatarsal-to-femur ratio and y is predicted maximal sprint speed in kilometers per hour. The standard error of the intercept is 5.69 and the standard error of the slope is 7.94. Construct a 96% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line.

The yields were the smallest when the number of seeds per square foot was either very small or very large. The data in the table show various numbers of seeds planted per square foot and yields (in pounds per square foot) for a sample of fields. A 2-column table with 15 rows. Column 1 is labeled number of seeds (per square foot) with entries 28, 75, 30, 43, 71, 35, 40, 59, 66, 79, 85, 81, 16, 33, 16.

You find that the average goal differential for home games (games that take place on the team's own stadium) was 1.37 and the average goal differential for away games (games that take place on the opponent team's stadium) was 0.32. With the data you have, if you regress goal differential (call it variable G) on a dummy variable (call it variable D) that takes the value 1 if the game is a home game and takes the value zero if the game is an away game, and obtain Ĝi = Bo + B₁ D₁, then, Bo will be equal to equal to and ₁ will bearrow_forwardAn article published in the American Journal of Hypertension reported the results of a longitudinal study on blood pressure. Ten years ago, 51 out of 188 people evaluated were classified as having high blood pressure. This year, 63, out of 194 people evaluated were classified as having high blood pressure. Based on the results of this study, can one conclude that the proportion of people in the population with high blood pressure has increased in the last ten years? Use a = 0.05. I can't find the sign=a I hope someone will know what I am talking about.arrow_forward

- Range of ankle motion is a contributing factor to falls among the elderly. Suppose a team of researchers is studying how compression hosiery, typical shoes, and medical shoes affect range of ankle motion. In particular, note the variables Barefoot and Footwear2. Barefoot represents a subject's range of ankle motion (in degrees) while barefoot, and Footwear2 represents their range of ankle motion (in degrees) while wearing medical shoes. Use this data and your preferred software to calculate the equation of the least-squares linear regression line to predict a subject's range of ankle motion while wearing medical shoes, ?̂ , based on their range of ankle motion while barefoot, ? . Round your coefficients to two decimal places of precision. ?̂ = A physical therapist determines that her patient Jan has a range of ankle motion of 7.26°7.26° while barefoot.
