The accompanying data are the number of wins and the earned run averages​ (mean number of earned runs allowed per nine innings​ pitched) for eight baseball pitchers in a recent season. Find the equation of the regression line. Then construct a scatter plot of the data and draw the regression line. Then use the regression equation to predict the value of y for each of the given​ x-values, if meaningful. If the​ x-value is not meaningful to predict the value of​ y, explain why not.

​(a) x=5 wins ​(b) x=10 wins ​(c) x=21 wins ​(d) x=15 wins. The equation of the regression line is y with equals ____xplus ______. ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

A mail-order catalog firm designed a factorial experiment to test the effect of the size of a magazine advertisement and the advertisement design on the number of catalog requests received (data in thousands). Three advertising designs and two different-size advertisements were considered. The data obtained follow.

USE MINITAB 18 attach screen shots.... End Result Hospital wants to assess the effectiveness of diabetes education through A1c levels. The hospital created three groups of patients. In the control group no instruction is provided, in the second group instruction is provided by physicians, and in the third group instruction is provided by RNs. Use the appropriate statistical test to determine if there is any difference in patient A1c levels between the three groups. Interpret using α = .05. Include and interpret the confidence interval plot. Based on the results, what should be the recommended type of diabetes education?

Recall again that Rind & Bordia (1996) investigated whether or not drawing a happy face
on customers’ checks increased the amount of tips received by a waitress at an upscale
restaurant on a university campus. During the lunch hour a waitress drew a happy,
smiling face on the checks of a random half of her customers. The remaining half of the
customers received a check with no drawing (18 points).
The tip percentages for the control group (no happy face) are as follows:
45% 39% 36% 34% 34% 33% 31% 31% 30% 30% 28%
28% 28% 27% 27% 25% 23% 22% 21% 21% 20% 18%
8%
The tip percentages for the experimental group (happy face) are as follows:
72% 65% 47% 44% 41% 40% 34% 33% 33% 30% 29%
28% 27% 27% 25% 24% 24% 23% 22% 21% 21% 17%

This time, you are to perform a “hypothesis test” using the tip data, answering each of
the questions below. For short-answer questions, be brief. However, you must give
enough detail to justify your answers. Single-sentence responses will generally not
suffice, but do not exceed a paragraph for any given answer.

i. Obtain the appropriate test statistic. From the SPSS menus choose Analyze
and Compare Means, followed by the appropriate test.

If a longer mean survey time is necessary, a premium rate is charged. Suppose a sample of 35 surveys produces the data in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Use a known σ = 3.7 minutes. Is the premium rate justified?

The data (20 days, 1 sample/day) shown in the table below give the difference between the observed reading on each unit and the nominal voltage times ten; that is, xi = (observed voltage on unit 350)*10.

Consider a multiple-choice examination with 50 questions. Each question has four possible answers. Assume that a student who has done the homework and attended lectures has a 65% chance of answering any question correctly. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(a)

A student must answer 44 or more questions correctly to obtain a grade of A. What percentage of the students who have done their homework and attended lectures will obtain a grade of A on this multiple-choice examination? Use the normal approximation of the binomial distribution to answer this question.

%

(b)

A student who answers 34 to 39 questions correctly will receive a grade of C. What percentage of students who have done their homework and attended lectures will obtain a grade of C on this multiple-choice examination? Use the normal approximation of the binomial distribution to answer this question.

%

(c)

A student must answer 30 or more questions correctly to pass the examination. What percentage of the students who have done their homework and attended lectures will pass the examination? Use the normal approximation of the binomial distribution to answer this question.

%

(d)

Assume that a student has not attended class and has not done the homework for the course. Furthermore, assume that the student will simply guess at the answer to each question. What is the probability that this student will answer 30 or more questions correctly and pass the examination? Use the normal approximation of the binomial distribution to answer this question.
