Question
The table below shows the number, in thousands, of vehicles parked in the central business district of a certain city on a typical Friday as a function of the hour of the day.
| Hour of the day | Vehicles parked (thousands) |
|---|---|
| 9 A.M. | 6.2 |
| 11 A.M. | 7.4 |
| 1 P.M. | 7.5 |
| 3 P.M. | 6.6 |
| 5 P.M. | 3.9 |
(a) Use regression to find a quadratic model for the data. (Let V be the number of vehicles and t be the time in hours since midnight. Round the regression parameters to three decimal places.)
(b) Express using functional notation the number of vehicles parked on a typical Friday at 4 P.M., and then estimate that value. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
V =

You are tasked with developing a model to predict the GDP of the country based on various factors such as interest rates, inflation, unemployment rate, and population growth. You collect quarterly data for the past 20 years and start building your model. After running your initial regression, you notice some peculiar patterns in the residuals: (1) residuals do not have identical variances across different levels of the independent variables; (2) two or more independent variables in a regression model are highly correlated with each other; (3) the correlation of a variable with its own past values.

(b) Will additional education help to reduce total overall crime (lead to a statistically significant reduction in crime)? Please explain. (c) Will an increase in funding for the police departments help reduce total overall crime (lead to a statistically significant reduction in total overall crime)? Please explain. (d) If you were asked to recommend a policy to reduce crime, then, based only on the above regression results, would you choose to invest in education (local schools) or in additional funding for the police?
