A linear regression to quantify the salaries of the employees in a company is estimated, using the following variables:
Y: the salary of the employee in 1000 SEK.
Age: the age of the employee in years
R: the categorical variable Education with 3 groups; Primary, Secondary, University.
a)Write down a linear model with intercept for the variable Y based on Age and R, in which the Primary level of education is the reference category for the Education variable.
b)Mention a test to see if the variable Age significantly improves the model fit?
Assume we have data demonstrating a strong linear link between the amount of fertilizer applied to certain plants and their yield. Which is the independent variable in this research question?
A scientist is calibrating a laboratory apparatus that will be used to measure the concentration of ozone in air samples. To check the calibration, samples of known concentration are measured. The true concentrations in ppm (x) and the measured concentrations in ppm (y) data points are: (0, 1), (10, 11), (20, 21), (30, 28), (40, 37), (50, 48), (60, 56), (70, 68), (80, 75), (90, 86), (100, 96). Because of random error, repeated measurements on the same sample will vary. The apparatus is considered to be in calibration if its mean response is equal to the true concentration. To check the calibration, the linear model y = ß0 + ß1 + ε is fit. Ideally, the value of ß0 should be 0 and the value of ß1 should be 1.

In a study by Zuckerman and Heneghan, hemodynamic stresses were measured on subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. An outcome variable of interest was the ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) measured in mm. A portion of the data appears in the following table. Baseline refers to a measurement taken 5 minutes after induction of anesthesia, and the term '5 minutes' refers to a measurement taken 5 minutes after baseline. Can we conclude that, on the basis of these data, among subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the average LVEDV levels change? Let a =.01.

- 5) Alcohol consumption is influenced by price and packaging, but what about glassware? Atwood et al. (2012) measured whether the time taken to drink a beer was influenced by the shape of the glass in which it was served. Participants were given a 12 oz. of chilled lager and were told that they should drink it at their own pace while watching a nature documentary. The participants were randomly assigned to receive their beer in either a straight-sided glass or a curved, fluted glass. The data below are the total time in minutes to drink the glass of beer by the 19 women participants in the study. Straight glass: 11.63 10.37 17.89 6.96 20.40 20.64 9.26 18.11 10.33 23.54 Curved glass: 7.46 9.28 8.90 6.73 8.25 6.16 13.09 2.10 6.37 a. Show the data in a graph. What trend is suggested?
