Consider the following scenario for Questions 6 through 9:
The City of Bellmore’s police chief believes that maintenance costs on high-mileage police vehicles are much higher than those costs for low-mileage vehicles. If high-mileage vehicles are costing too much, it may be more economical to purchase more vehicles. An analyst in the department regresses yearly maintenance costs (Y) for a sample of 200 police vehicles on each vehicle’s total mileage for the year (X). The regression equation finds:
Y = $50 + .030X with a r2 of .90
What is the IV? What is the DV?
If the mileage increases by one mile, what is the predicted increase in maintenance costs?
If a vehicle’s mileage for the year is 50,000, what is its predicted maintenance costs?
What does an r2 of .90 tell us? Is this a strong or weak correlation? How can you tell?
A researcher read that firearm-related deaths for people aged 1 to 18 years were distributed as follows: 74% were accidental, 16% were homicides, and 10% were suicides. In her district, there were 68 accidental deaths, 27 homicides, and 5 suicides during the past year. At α = 0.10, test the claim
A dietitian wishes to see if a person’s cholesterol level will be changed if the diet is supplemented by a certain mineral. Four subjects were pre-tested, and they took the mineral supplement for a 6-week period. The results are shown in the table. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean of cholesterol levels has been changed after six weeks at α=0.2α=0.2? Assume that the differences are from an approximately normally distributed population.
