Consider the following regression results based on 20 observations. [You may find it useful to reference the t table.]
Coefficients | Standard Error | t Stat | p-value | |
Intercept | 31.4333 | 4.5131 | 6.965 | 0.000 |
x1 | 0.1987 | 0.1470 | 1.352 | 0.193 |
a-1. Choose the hypotheses to determine if the intercept differs from zero.
H0: β0 ≤ 0; HA: β0 > 0
H0: β0 ≥ 0; HA: β0 < 0
H0: β0 = 0; HA: β0 ≠ 0
a-2. At the 5% significance level, what is the
conclusion to the hypothesis test? Does the intercept differ from
zero?
Reject H0; the intercept is greater than zero.
Reject H0; the intercept differs from zero.
Do not reject H0; the intercept is greater than zero.
Do not reject H0; the intercept differs from zero.
b-1. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the slope coefficient. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round "tα/2,df" value to 3 decimal places and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
b-2. At the 5% significance level, can we conclude the slope differs from zero?
Yes, since the interval contains zero.
Yes, since the interval does not contain zero.
No, since the interval contains zero.
No, since the interval does not contain zero.

A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 62.6 in. and standard deviation 2.1 in. The survey also found that men's heights are normally distributed with mean 69.4 in. and standard deviation 3.8 in. Most of the live characters employed at an amusement park have height requirements of a minimum of 57 in. and a maximum of 63 in. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. Find the percentage of men meeting the height requirement. What does the result suggest about the genders of the people who are employed as characters at the amusement park? The percentage of men who meet the height requirement is nothing%. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Since most men ▼ meet do not meet the height requirement, it is likely that most of the characters are ▼ men. women. b. If the height requirements are changed to exclude only the tallest 50% of men and the shortest 5% of men, what are the new height requirements? The new height requirements are a minimum of nothing in. and a maximum of nothing in. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

A question on my practice test is asking the probability of rolling an even number divisible by 1.5 on a die. The answer it gives me is .333, which suggests that there are two numbers. However; between 1 and 6 only 3 and 6 are divisible by 1.5, and only one of those is even.
Hence I get 1/6 =.1667. Am I missing something?

Find the P-‐value. b) Check the assumption that female body temperature is normally distributed. c) Compute the power of the test if the true mean female body temperature is as low as 98.0. d) What sample size would be required to detect a true mean female body temperature as low as 98.2 if you wanted the power of the test to be at least 0.9? e) Explain how the question in part (a) could be answered by constructing a two-‐sided confidence interval on the mean of female body temperature?

update I have finished 1-5 6-9 are stumping me
"Durham Police is to become the first force in the country (UK)
to introduce a scheme in which users are treated with diamorphine -
medical grade heroin.
Ron Hogg, County Durham's Police, Crime and Victims' Commissioner,
says such treatment lowers offending levels.
Opponents claim trials have not shown significant benefits.
Mr Hogg told BBC Newcastle existing national policies had not been
effective and pointed to six-year trials in Darlington, London and
Brighton which he said had helped wean users off the drug.
Addicts were given the opiate in consumption rooms, often referred
to as "shooting galleries", supervised by medical
professionals.
"It got them back into a normal life and it cut crime," he
said.
"We saw health benefits for the individuals, we saw needles being
taken off the street, so there's an awful lot of evidence both in
the UK and across the world that such schemes do actually
work.
"All police and crime commissioners spend a lot of money on what we
call diversionary work - community projects and youth offending
schemes - because we know this will stop people committing
crime.
"This is just an extension of that rationale. The controversiality
is because it's drugs."
'Not unusual'
Mr Hogg said the UK had the highest rate of heroin, cocaine and
ecstasy use across the European Union with drug-induced deaths
totalling 45 people per million compared with 17 per million in the
EU.
Aiming to introduce the scheme "by the end of this year", he added
the force's public health partners were working out the cost of
administering the drug to users twice-daily.
He previously mooted such a move in 2013.
"If we go back to the 1960s, doctors used to prescribe heroin as
a means of treating someone back to recovery. It's not that
unusual," he said.
"We've got to consider the Misuse of Drugs Act has been in since
1971 and we haven't arrested the way out of the problem, have
we?"
A Home Office spokesman said there was evidence "supervised use of
[diamorphine] in a medical environment as part of a treatment plan
can help keep patients in treatment and out of criminal
behaviour".
However, David Raynes of the National Drug Prevention Alliance,
warned the move "will not stop addicts being addicts".
"It doesn't stop people using street drugs," he said.
"It may reduce crime marginally, but it doesn't reduce crime
permanently."
Working together as a group, design a study to address whether this method is effective or not in reducing crime due to heroin addiction. Ron Hogg of County Durham's Police believes it works while David Raynes of the National Drug Prevention Alliance is skeptical. Your job is to help settle the argument using a statistical study. You will need to address the following in your write up:
1 What is the population of interest?
2 What are the null and alternate hypotheses of your study?
3 What data type will you be collecting in this study (numerical or categorical)?
4 How would you collect the data needed to decide which hypothesis to support?
5 How would you make sure the data collected is representative of the population of interest and not biased?
6 Specifically, what tools would you use to analyze the data? You need to give the names of any plots/graphs that would be useful and the type of hypothesis test that would be used to settle the argument between Mr. Hogg and Mr. Raynes.
7 Based on what hypothesis test you selected in part 6, what assumptions need to be check prior to using said test?
8 Let's assume your study resulted in the data being statistically significant. Which hypotheses would have been supported? Give a possible p-value for this result. If an error had occurred, which type (Type I or Type II) could it have been?
9 Let's assume your study resulted in the data NOT being statistically significant. Which hypotheses would have been supported? Give a possible p -value for this result. If an error had occurred, which type (Type I or Type II) could it have been?

The ceramic tile used in the construction of the floors in a mall must be sturdy, easy to clean, and long-lasting. Before installing a specific type of tile, a construction firm orders a box of 25 of the proposed type of tile and uses a standard strength test on each tile in the box. The standard breaking test consists of someone putting each tile half way on a table in a specialized way and then placing standardized weights on the part of the tile that is not on the table until the tile breaks. The results are used to determine whether this type of tile will be used throughout the new mall.
a) Is this an observational or an experimental study? Please explain your answer.
b) What is the sample in this problem?
The 25 tiles of this type.
All tiles of this type.
25 tiles of any type of tiles used on floors in malls.
c) Is this sample random? If so, justify your answer. If not,
describe a possible technique that could be used to obtain a random
sample.
