Question

In: Statistics and Probability

A researcher wants to know how the number of days a vampire goes without blood (X) is related to the number of violent behaviors that a vampire engages in (Y)

A researcher wants to know how the number of days a vampire goes without blood (X) is related to the number of violent behaviors that a vampire engages in (Y). To investigate this, he measures both variables in a sample of 7 (n = 7) vampires. The goal of the study was to find the least-squares regression equation for the data, and to then test whether the slope of this equation is any different from 0. Assume all assumptions for the test are met. Do all hypothesis testing for this question using α =0.01. (See table below for sample data.)

Calculation Summary

Sum of X = 69
Sum of Y = 103
Mean X = 9.8571
Mean Y = 14.7143
Sum of squares (SSX) = 62.8571

Sum of squares (SSY)=51.42857
Sum of products (SP) = 37.7143

Regression Equation = ŷ = bX + a

b = SP/SSX = 37.71/62.86 = 0.6

a = MY - bMX = 14.71 - (0.6*9.86) = 8.8

ŷ = 8.8 + 0.6X

Correlation coefficient

The value of R is 0.6633.

This is a moderate positive correlation, which means there is a tendency for high X variable scores go with high Y variable scores (and vice versa).

The value of R2, the coefficient of determination, is 0.44.

A researcher wants to know if calcium is an effective treatment for lowering blood pressure. He assigns one randomly chosen group of subjects to take calcium supplements; the other group will get a placebo. At the end of the treatment period, he measures the difference in blood pressure. The 50 members of the calcium group had blood pressure lowered by an average of 25 points with standard deviation 10 points. The 50 members of the placebo group had blood pressure...
