- What does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?arrow_forward(D). Is ϒ significantly different from -0.5 (E). Perform the F test at the 1% level, making sure to state the null and alternative hypothesis. (F) Give an interpretation of the term "R-sq" and comment on its valuearrow_forwardTotal plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 50 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 7.20 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma. (d) Find the sample size necessary for a 99% confidence level with maximal margin of error E = 2.50 for the mean plasma volume in male firefighters.

- Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 40 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 7.80 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma. (d) Find the sample size necessary for a 99% confidence level with maximal margin of error E = 2.00 for the mean plasma volume in male firefighters.

Find the time t such that 10% of the components fail before t.arrow_forwardSuppose u, and µ, are true mean stopping distances at 50 mph for cars of a certain type equipped with two different types of braking systems. The data follows: m = 7, x = 113.3, s. = 5.02, n = 7, y = 129.8, and S2 = 5.32. Calculate a 95% CI for the difference between true average stopping distances for cars equipped with system 1 and cars equipped with system 2. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) In USE SALT Does the interval suggest that precise information about the value of this difference is available? Because the interval is so wide, it appears that precise information is available. Because the interval is so narrow, it appears that precise information is not available. Because the interval is so wide, it appears that precise information is not available. Because the interval is so narrow, it appears that precise information is available.arrow_forwardThe flow in a river can be modeled as a log-normal distribution. From the data, it was estimated that, the probability that the flow exceeds 1133 cfs is 50% and the probability that it exceeds 100 cfs is 90%. Let X denote the flow in cfs in the river. Flood conditions occur when flow is 5000 cfs or above. To compute the percentage of time flood conditions occur for this river, we have to find, P(X≥5000)=1-P(Z<a). What is the value of a?
