Transcribed Image Text:The U.S. government provides fuel economy (in milles per gallon) and other information about late model cars sold in the US. A linear regression model was used on the data to determine whether there was an association
between a car's engine displacement (Displacement) and fuel economy (MPG).
Use the StatCrunch output to answer the following question.
Simple linear regression results:
Dependent Variable: MPG
Independent Variable: Displacement
MPG-37.49079-4357743 Displacement
Sample size: 35
R (correlation coefficient)--0.79692884
R-sq-0.63509558
Estimate of error standard deviation: 4.0040499
In the dataset, a Volkswagen Beetle has a displacement equal to 2.0 and fuel economy equal to 26. Calculate the residual of this observation and choose the correct answer from the choices below.
-40.23
-2.78

- A New York Times article titled For Runners, Soft Ground Can Be Hard on the Body considered two perspectives on whether runners should stick to hard surfaces or soft surfaces following an injury. One position supported running on soft surfaces to relieve joints that were in recovery from injury. The second position supported running on hard surfaces since soft surfaces can be uneven, which may make worse those injuries a soft surface was intended to help. Suppose we are given sufficient funds to run an experiment to study this topic. With no studies to support either position, which of the following hypotheses would be appropriate? The first position is more sensible, so this should be a one-sided test. In this case, we should form the alternative hypothesis around the second position. The second position makes the more sense, so this should be a one-sided test. In this case, we should form the alternative hypothesis around the first position.

One can see that lots of things, can cause the murder rate to increase or decrease. I tried to account for all the important factors, and those factors are the SAT scores, unemployment rate, and international migration per 1,000. The SAT score is, average combined total score participants did on the SAT exam. The unemployment rate is, "a measure of the prevalence of unemployment and it is calculated as a percentage by dividing the number of unemployed individuals by all individuals currently in the labor force." (Wikipedia) International migration per 1,000 is, the number of people who come into a state from other countries per 1,000 people who live in the state. After I run the regression I will look at the t scores and p values and I should hopefully conclude that international migration does not cause crime.

However, researchers have developed a 7-Minute Screen, which is a quick and easy way to accomplish the same goal. The question is whether the 7-Minute Screen is as effective as the complete series of tests. To address this question, Ijuin et al. (2008) administered both tests to a group of patients and compared the results. The following data represent results similar to those obtained in the study: Patient 7-Minute Screen Cognitive Tests A 3 11 B 8 19 C 10 22 D 8 20 E 4 14 F 7 13 G 4…arrow_forward
