Suppose we have five predictors:
• X1= GPA,
• X2= IQ.
• X3 = Gender (1 for Female and 0 for Male),
X4 = Interaction between GPA and IQ, and
• X5 = Interaction between GPA and Gender.
The response is starting salary after graduation (in thousands of dollars). Suppose
least squares has been used to fit the model, and got
Bo = 50, B1 = 20, B2 = 0.07, B3 = 35, B4 = 0.01, and B5
-10
Predict the salary of a male with GPA of 3 and IQ of 90. Enter just the number
rounded to 2 decimals (e.g., 174.35).

Compare What-If Analysis using Trial and Error and Goal Seek to the given scenario:
Let's say a student is enrolled in an online class at a learning institution for a semester. His overall average grade stands at 43% in the course (Term Grade is 45%, Midterm Grade is 65%, Class Participation is 62% and Final Exam is 0%). Unfortunately, he missed his Final Exam and was given 0%. However, he has the opportunity to redo his Final Exam and needs at least an overall average of 60% to pass the course. How can you use Trial and Error and Goal Seek to find out what is the lowest grade he needs on the Final Exam to pass the class? Which method worked best for you and why?
Medical records show a sample population of 1000 people, of those 1000 people, 98% do not have a terminal illness and 2% do have a terminal illness. A Health Insurance company would like try out a new cheaper test for terminal illness. Their results show that 98% of the people that do have a terminal illness test positive, while 1% of the people who do not have a terminal illness test positive for one. A corporation known as Ken’s Kids is concerned about patients that are slipping through the cracks with this new medical testing. If the new medical testing is adopted, what % of the people will be misdiagnosed as not having a terminal illness, but really have one? Assuming a population of 200 million people, how many people that have a terminal illness, given this new testing will never know that they do? (Please show all work , and have a legend for symbols).

- A group of researchers conducted a study to investigate the effectiveness of a new teaching method for a particular subject. They randomly assigned 100 students to two groups: one group received the new teaching method, and the other group received the traditional teaching method. At the end of the semester, they measured the students' performance on a standardized test. The researchers found that the mean score for the group that received the new teaching method was higher than the mean score for the group that received the traditional teaching method. How can the researchers test the hypothesis that the new teaching method is more effective than the traditional teaching method? What statistical test should they use?arrow_forwardplease use R to answer the following question: Assume you represent a worldwide distributor of classic cars. Create a Monte Carlo simulation with 10,000 trials to demonstrate the property that, if the amount of time it takes before your next customer makes a purchase can be modelled using an exponential distribution with a rate of 10 per day, then the number of times customers will make purchases in a day will follow a Poisson distribution with λ=10.

- You build a model predicting blood pressure as a function of three variables: weight (numeric) age (numeric) income (categorical: low, medium, high) You first specify your model as: blood pressure ~ age * income + weight How many parameters (k) does your model have? (Remember, we do not count the grand mean in k) You change the above model specification to be: blood pressure ~ age * income + weight * income How many parameters does your model have now? You change your model to include the three-way interaction (which, remember, includes all two-way interactions and main effects, too!) Your model now looks like this: blood pressure ~ age * income * weight How many parameters does your model have now?arrow_forwardConsider a dataset with 1000 observations, each observation consisting of 4 predictors (x1, x2, x3, x4), and a response variable (y), which is one of 2 possible labels ("Yellow, or 'Red').

- You run a logistic regression model in R using the glm() function. The dependent variable is the factor variable Y and independent variables are X1 and X2 (in other words, the formula is Y~X1+X2). In the model output, the coefficient of the constant term is a0, the coefficient of X1 is a1, and the coefficient of X2 is a2. Assuming a cutoff = 0.5, which of the following defines the equation of a decision boundary? a0 + a1X1 + a2X2 = 0.5 exp(-(a0 + a1X1 + a2X2)) = 0 a0 + a1X1 + a2X2 = 0 O exp(-(a0 + a1X1 + a2X2)) = 0.5arrow_forwardImagine that we develop an algorithm to predict fake reviews. Based on the previous experience, we know that 95% of the reviews are legit and 5% are fake. If a review is fake, there is a 93% chance that the algorithm predicts it as fake.
