Chapter B, Problem 28RP
Hospital Stalling. Refer to Problem 14, where we considered the relationship between monthly man-hours needed to main lain an anesthesiology service and the predictor variables number of surgical cases, eligible population per 1000, and number of operating rooms. Use the technology of your choice to obtain output similar to Outputs B.96–B.98 on pages B-173–B-174.
- a. Obtain a
scatterplot matrix for the data, a three-dimensional scatterplot of the three predictor variables, and aregression analysis of man-hours on the three predictor variables (include the VIFs), Use these plots and output to assess the severity of multicollinearity in this regression analysis. - b. What remedies would you suggest, if any, to lessen the effect of multicollinearity in this regression analysis?

A manufacturer states that the average daily production of its 1.5 kW system is 6.6 kilowatt hours (kWh) for Perth conditions. A consumer group monitored this 1.5 kW system in 20 different Perth homes and measured the average daily production by the systems in these homes over a one month period during October. The data is provided here. (a) Analyse the consumer group’s data to test if the manufacturer’s claim of an average of 6.6 kWh per day is reasonable. State appropriate hypotheses, assumptions and decision rule at α = 0.10. What conclusions would you report to the consumer group? Hint: You will need to find Descriptive Statistics first.)
