A political science model determines voter turnout based on location of a district and if voter ID laws exist in the district. A sampling of 40 districts nationwide were used. (a) Voter Turnout = 46.3 – 3.4 * South; R2 = 12.0%                                                    (t = -1.25)                                       where the South dummy variable takes a value of 1 if the district is in a Southern state. Interpret the intuition of the regression and how strong an inference that is made....

Answer ASAP: Probability and Statistics question The desired percentage of SiO2 in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.50 or higher. Suppose that the percentage of SiO2 in a specimen is normally distributed with unknown mean LaTeX: \muμμ but known standard deviation LaTeX: \sigma=0.30σ = 0.30. To test whether the true average percentage is actually less than 5.50 for a particular production facility, we consider LaTeX: H_0: \mu=5.50 \qquad \textrm{vs} \quad H_1: \mu<5.50H 0 : μ = 5.50 vs...
