Q. No. 3. To the Board of Revenue , the deductions depends on the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income. Large deductions, which include charity and medical deductions, are more reasonable for taxpayers with large adjusted gross incomes. If a taxpayer claims larger than average itemized deductions for a given level of income, the chances of an audit are increased. Data (in thousands of dollars) on adjusted gross income and the average or reasonable amount of itemized deductions are as follows:
a. Develop a scatter diagram with adjusted gross income as the independent variable.b. Determine the correlation coefficient.c. Determine the standard error of estimated. Determine the coefficient of determination and interpret it.e. At the .05 significance level, is it reasonable to conclude that there is a positive relationship between the variables? What is the p-value?f. Develop the estimated regression equation.g. Estimate a reasonable level of total itemized deductions for a taxpayer with an…
A social worker is interested in examining how people who have higher levels of psychological resiliency respond after a natural disaster. She obtained anxiety scores, which were measured on a scale of 1–12 with higher numbers meaning more anxiety, from eight individuals who had experienced a natural disaster. She collected these scores 3 weeks after the disaster (M=7.13, s=2.03) and 6 months after the disaster (M=3.5, s=1.6). She expected that the anxiety scores at 6 months would be much lower than at 3 weeks. If sD = 1.30 and you use a two-tailed test with an alpha of .05, is there a difference? Perform the 4 steps of hypothesis testing.

- Vitamin E and the Risk of Prostate Cancer: Klien et al (2011) conducted the following study to determine the effect of vitamin E and selenium treatment on the risk of developing prostate cancer in healthy men. A total of 34,887 men from different study sites in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico were randomly selected. To be eligible to participate, the men had to take a rectal examination that showed he was not suspicious of having prostate cancer and be aged 50 years or older for black men and 55 years or older for all others. Each man was randomly assigned to receive one of four treatments: selenium, vitamin E, selenium and vitamin E together, or a placebo. The men were followed up after 8 years to see if they had developed prostate cancer or not. The main question of interest is to determine if the risk of developing prostate cancer differs by the treatment taken. The data are summarized in the table below: No Prostate Cancer Prostate Cancer Total Selenium 8,752 8,737 8,702…arrow_forwardAnswer A, B1, and B2: A.
