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

The data in Table 7–6 were collected in a clinical trial to evaluate a new compound designed to improve wound healing in trauma patients. The new compound was com- pared against a placebo. After treatment for 5 days with the new compound or placebo, the extent of wound healing was measured. Is there a difference in the extent of wound healing between the treatments? (Hint: Are treatment and the percent wound healing independent?) Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance. Use the data in Problem 1. Pool the data across the treatments into one sample of size n = 250. Use the pooled data to test whether the distribution of the percent wound healing is approximately normal. Specifically, use the following distribution 30%, 40%, 20%, and 10% and a = 0.05 to run the appropriate test.

- A researcher, by using a sample of 3,294 USA individuals observed in 1987 wants to estimate how wage is affected by gender and education. To this end, he estimates with OLS the following model (standard errors in round brackets below the corresponding coefficient): R2 w; = 4.829 + 1.142 male; +0.041 exper; (0.197) (0.114) 0.0330 (0.024) where the hourly wage (in 1980 US dollars), w, is regressed on a gender dummy, male, which takes value of 1 if the worker is male and 0 if female, and the variable exper, the working experience (in years). Using the results in the equation above and assuming that the 6 OLS assumptions (i.e., including homoskedasticity and normality of the errors) hold, if you test that the coefficients of male and experience are jointly equal to 0 against a bilateral alternative (the critical value at a = 5% is equal to 3): O (a) You cannot perform the test with the available information O (b) You would reject at 5% but not at 1% O (c) You would reject at both 5% and 1%…arrow_forwardThis is mathematical statistics application question!arrow_forwardPrevious research showed that 15% percent of teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 smoke.
