  1. Suppose we are interested in examining the social basis of support for capital punishment. Could there be a relationship between religion (the independent variable) and support for capital punishment (dependent variable)? Suppose we administer a scale that measures support for capital punishment to a randomly selected sample that includes 20 individuals based on religious affiliation: Protestants, Catholics, Jews, people with no religious affiliation (“None”), and people from other religions (“Other”). Use the appropriate test and steps to calculate whether there is a relationship. Do this manually showing all steps.

Hypothesis:

Ho: There is no relationship between religion (the independent variable) and support for capital punishment.

H1: There is a relationship between religion (the independent variable) and support for capital punishment.

The P-value is greater than 0.05. Hence, fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no relationship between religion (the independent variable) and support for capital punishment.

You are examining the viability of a capital investment in which your firm is interested. The project will require an initial investment of $500,000 and the projected revenues are $400,000 a year for five years. The projected cost-of-goods-sold is 40% of revenues, and the tax rate is 40%. The initial investment is primarily in plant and equipment and can be depreciated straight line over five years (the salvage value is zero). The project makes use of other resources that your...

A researcher is interested in examining the relationship between social isolation for older adults (x), defined as the percentage of the people over the age of 65 who live alone, and eldercide rates (y), defined as the homicide rate for people over age 65 per 100,000. Collecting data from 195 cities, they find the following: top enclose x equals 30.95 s subscript x equals 5.96 top enclose y equals 2.80 s subscript y equals 5.71 r subscript x y end...

We are interested in examining the relationship between the number of calories people consume and weight. We randomly selected 200 people and presented the data with explanatory (x) variable being the calories consumed and the response (y) variable being their weight. Regression analysis will be good for this problem because it helps us find trends in data and quantify the results. It can also help us make predictions about data. So as long as the requirements are met for inference...
