The investigators for a study collected standardized data on timed 24-hour urinary excretion for 10,079 men and women from 52 population samples in 32 countries. One of the goals of the study was to quantify the relationship between 24-hour urinary Na (y) and estimated 24-hour urinary Na (x) obtained from casual urine specimens at one point in time. The investigators presented a simple linear regression of y on x, separately for men and women. The regression equation for men was: Y = 1.09x - 7.11, with R2 = 0.26, n = 1,369 Hint: Assume that a t distribution with > 200 df is the same as a N(0, 1) distribution. You can use the Distribution Calculators page in SALT to find critical values and/or p-values to answer parts of this question. (a) What does the R2 of 0.26 mean in words? OR² = 0.26 means that about 74% of the time the estimated 24-hour urinary Na matches the 24-hour urinary Na obtain from casual urine specimens at one point in time. O R² = 0.26 means that about 26% of the variation in 24-hour urinary Na can be explained by estimated 24-hour urinary Na obtain from casual urine specimens at one point in time. O R² = 0.26 means that about 26% of the time the estimated 24-hour urinary Na matches the 24-hour urinary Na obtain from casual urine specimens at one point in time. OR² = 0.26 means that about 74% of the variation in 24-hour urinary Na can be explained by estimated 24-hour urinary Na obtain from casual urine specimens at one point in time. (b) What is a two-sided p-value for the regression? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) What is the estimated standard error of the slope estimate? (Hint: Use the t test for simple linear regression. Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Low-Density Lipoprotein (or LDL) is considered the "bad" cholesterol because it forms plaques in arteries, raising the risk for heart attack and stroke. Suppose you are interested in predicting LDL (in mg/dL) using one's age (in years). Assume that LDL levels and age are normally distributed and that the correlation between the two variables is 0.534. Based solely on the regression effect, a person whose age is at the 60th percentile is predicted to have an LDL level ____. [Source: Ldl cholesterol: Definition, risks, and how to lower it.

The following table shows the starting salary and profile of a sample of 10 2 p employees in a certain call center agency. Run a multiple regression analysis with starting salary as the dependent variable (pesos) and GPA, years of experience and civil service ratings as the independent variables. Use .05 level of significance.What is the computed R square of the resulting multiple linear regression and its interpretation? * Civil Years of Starting salary GPA service experience ratings 79.5 15000 80.1 15000 81.2 78.0 15500 81.3 79.0 16000 82.4 80.0 16200 83.4 85.0 17500 87.9 89.9 89.1 18000 90.3 16,300 84.2 17000 87.0 17900 88.1 84.1 89.0 89.2 R squared = 0.8053; This means that 80.53% of the total variation in the starting salary can be explained by its linear relationship with GPA, years of experience and civil service ratings. R squared = 0.9651; This means that 96.51% of the total variation in the starting salary can be explained by its linear relationship with GPA, years of…

In a sample of cars reviewed by Motor Trend magazine, the mean horsepower (hp) was 150 hp with a standard deviation of 36 hp. The mean weight (lbs) was 2500 lbs with a standard deviation of 720 lbs. Assume the relationship between weight and horsepower is linear and has a correlation of r = +0.55. What is the slope of the linear regression model predicting weight (y-variable) from horsepower (x-variable)? 9 13 15 11
