In a certain jurisdiction, all students in Grade Three are required to take a standardized test to evaluate their math comprehension skills.The file contains these data resulting from a random sample of n=30 schools within this jurisdiction. From these data you wish to estimate the model
Yi=β0+β1Xi+ei
where Xi is the percentage of Grade Three students in School i who live below the poverty line and Yi is the average mathematics comprehension score for all Grade Three students in the same school, School i. The observed data for the X variable is labled perbelowpoverty and the observed data for the Y variable is labeled mathscore in the file.Import (either hand type or load the file) data into R Studio, then answer the following questions based on the data.(a) Create a scatterplot of the data. What can you say about the nature of the relationship between the percentage of Grade Three students living below the poverty line in a certain school and the school's average Grade Three…
Arm circumferences (cm) and heights (cm) are measured from randomly selected adult females. The 142 pairs of measurements yield x=32.14cm, y=163.36cm, r=.084, P value=.32 and y=160+.111x. Find the best predicted value of y (height) given an adult female with an arm circumference of 40cm. Let the predictor variable x be arm circumference and the response variable y be height. Use a .05 significance level.
A medical student at a community college in city Q wants to study the factors affecting the systolic blood pressure of a person (Y) Generally, the systolic blood pressure
depends on the BMI of a person (B) and the age of the person A. She wants to test whether or not the BMI has a significant effect on the systolic blood pressure, keeping the
age of the person constant. For her study, she collects a random sample of 125 patients from the city and estimates the following regression function:
Y= 15.50 + 0..90B+1.15A.
(0.55)
(0 40)
The test statistic of the study the student wants to conduct (Ho: B, = 0 vs. H, B, #0), keeping other variables constant is.
(Round your answer to two decimal places.)
At the 5% significance level, the student will
▼ the null hypothesis.
Keeping BMIl constant, she now wants to test whether the age of a person (A) has no significant effect or a positive effect on the person's systolic blood pressure.
So, the test statistic associated with the one-sided test the…

You want to study if this percentage has increased. To study this you divide the country into 4 major regions, East Coast, Midwest, South, and West Coast and randomly sample 70 students from each region. This means you ultimately randomly sample 280 graduating students and find that 95 of them were graduating with STEM degrees.
