Recently sold, single-family homes. Refer to the National Association of Realtors data on sales price (y), region (NE, NW, S. or W), and sales volume for 28 recently sold, single-family homes, Exercise 12.95Q (p. 742). You fit a complete second-order model for E(y) as a
- a. Conduct a nested-model F-test to determine whether the quadratic terms in the model are statistically useful for predicting sales price (y). Use α=.05.
- b. Based on the result, part a, which of the nested models (the complete or the reduced model) do you prefer to use in predicting sales price (y)? Explain.
- c. Refer to part b. Treat the preferred model as the complete model and conduct a nested model F-test to determine whether region and sales volume interact to affect sales price (y). Use α=.05.
- d. Based on the result, part c, which of the nested models (the complete or the reduced model) do you prefer to use in predicting sales price (y)? Explain.

You are studying the effects of smoking by pregnant women on rates of asthma in their
children. You collect data on the number of cigarettes smoked per day and whether or not the
child developed asthma by the age of two. The data is below:
Smoked 1-5 cigarettes per day --- 9.2% developed asthma
Smoked 6-10 cigarettes per day --- 10.3% developed asthma
Smoked 11-20 cigarettes per day -- 25% developed asthma
Smoked 21-40 cigarettes per day --- 34.8% developed asthma
Smoked 41-60 cigarettes per day --- 38.4% developed asthma
In order to study the relationship between the number of cigarettes smoked by pregnant women per day and the
percentage of their children developed asthma by the age of two using statistical knowledge, we convert the above
data into the following format and see if we can obtain an adequate fit using linear regression.
Average number of cigarettes smoked per day 3 8
Percentage of children developed asthma

He wants to use the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model to manage his stock of tires. In order to use this model, he must first of all forecast the annual demand for his tires.

- Manufacturers of tires report that car tires should be able to last an average of 50,000 miles. A new tire company produces a different type of tread and tests 100 randomly selected tires. This sample of 100 tires lasted an average of 51,500 miles. Assuming the new type of tread does not improve the mileage of the tire, 200 sample means were simulated and displayed on the dotplot. Simulated Tire Mileage +++ +++H 47,000 48,000 49,000 50,000 51,000 52,000 53,000 Mean mileage Using the dotplot and the sample mean mileage, is there convincing evidence that the new type of tread improves the mileage of the tire? Yes, because a mean mileage of 51,500 or more occurred only 14 out of 200 times, the mean mileage is statistically significant. There is convincing evidence the new type of tire tread improves mileage of the tire. Yes, because a mean mileage of 51,500 or less occurred 186 out of 200 times, the mean mileage is statistically significant.

While profit can be determined as the difference between sales and maintenance cost, or in symbols, P = S - M, where P is profit, S is sales, and M is maintenance cost including technical support. It is argues that when sales goes up so does maintenance cost because the cost of technical support will go up. Further, it is measured that the correlation between S and M is 0.8. Now given the figure that sales next year is expected to be $300 thousand with standard deviation of $4 thousand and maintenance cost is expected to be $150 thousand with standard deviation of $6 thousand, what would be the expected profit and its standard deviation you will include in your report?arrow_forwardA stock analyst wants to determine whether there is a difference in the mean rate of return for three types of stock: utility, retail, and banking stocks.

Can the analyst conclude there is a difference between the mean rates of return for utility and retail stocks? For utility and banking stocks? For banking and retail stocks?
