During a command staff meeting a presentation is being made regarding a study recently completed by a consultant on crime suppression strategies. This study was commissioned by the Mayor who is under political pressure to reduce the crime rate in your community. The study revealed that crime rates are reduced by several factors, as indicated in a multiple regression statistical model. The consultant presented the following table which includes each factor and its beta coefficient. During the meeting the Captain sitting next to you turns to you and whispers, “I can’t make heads or tails of this statistics stuff. Which factor appears to have the most effect on reducing the crime rate?” Answer the Captain’s question. Assume each of the following beta coefficients are statistically significant. Factor A .534 Factor B -.345 Factor C .893 Factor D -602

I was to choose 30 hiking trails (15 from New Hampshire and 15 from Maine) and record their elevations. My hypothesis for this is I believe that the mean is greater then or equal to 2,500ft. I'm having trouble figuring out my population mean and my sample mean. Also I need to find out my z score or t score and show a graph showing whether its left or right tailed or both.

  1. A new restaurant keeps track of the number of nightly customers at monthly intervals over the course of a year. The restaurant has done very little advertising; most of its publicity is by word of mouth but its number of customers is increasing. The restaurant does not have a seasonal difference in number of customers (for example, no summer crowds).
  1. Using the data below, fit each an exponential regression model to the data using Excel.
