Calcium is essential to tree growth because it promotes the formation of wood and maintains cell walls. In 1990, the concentration of calcium in precipatation in a certain area was 0.12 milligrams per liter. A random sample of 10 precipitation dates in 2007 results in the following:
0.079, 0.179, 0.078, 0.132, 0.074, 0.225, 0.262, 0.339. 0.111, 0.119

(a) Determine the least squares regression line.  
(Be sure to save your unrounded values of b0 and b1 for use in Problem #6 below.)
(b) Draw the least squares regression line accurately on a scatterplot. Then look to see which (x, y) pairs are above the regression line. Then add up the y-values for all of the (x, y) pairs that fall above the regression line.
For example, if you draw your least squares regression line accurately on a scatterplot, and you find that the first two (x, y) pairs [i.e., (1, 10) and (3, 7)] are above the regression line, then since the sum of the two corresponding y-values is 10 + 7 = 17, you would enter 17 into the answer box.

(c) Calculate the residuals. (d) Calculate the residual sum of squares SS(error). (e) Find the value of the test statistic for testing the hypothesis H0 : ρ = 0 H1 : ρ ≠ 0 (f) Find the 10% critical value for the hypothesis test in (e)

6. Fandango claim’s that the average cost of a movie ticket is at least $8.75 for an adult, with a known variance of $0.25. To test this claim, a random sample of 75 tickets had a mean of $8.06. There is no reason to think the variance is any different in the sample. Based upon this information, can we reject Fandango’s claim at the 5% level of significance?

A student at a university has been doing a project to investigate entertainment habits of students. They have surveyed 100 random students who were each asked three questions:

  1. Have you watched a movie in the last week?
  2. Have you listened to music in the last week?
  3. Have you read a book in the last week?

However, the student keeps a very messy room and has lost some of the results. They have been able to find the following results:

Of all the students surveyed, 46 had watched a movie, 36 had listened to music and 41 had read a book in the last week. Also:

  • 4 students answered yes to all three questions
  • 10 students answered yes to questions 1 and 2 only
  • 12 students answered yes to questions 1 and 3 only
  • 20 students answered yes only to question 1
  • 18 students answered no to all three questions

Find the missing information and answer the following questions regarding the group surveyed. Give your answers as whole numbers.

Calculate the number of students that:

a)answered yes to question 3 only =

b)answered yes to exactly two questions =

c)had watched a movie or listened to music but had not read a book =

: An observational study is conducted to investigate the association between age and total serum cholesterol. The correlation is estimated at r = 0.35. The study involves n=125 participants and the mean (std dev) age is 44.3 (10.0) years with an age range of 35 to 55 years, and mean (std dev) total cholesterol is 202.8 (38.4).

a. Estimate the equation of the line that best describes the association between age (as the independent variable) and total serum cholesterol.

b. Estimate the total serum cholesterol for a 50-year old person.

c. Estimate the total serum cholesterol for a 70-year old person.

Problem 8: The Framingham Heart Study was a longitudinal cohort study of 5000+ men and women. One outcome of interest was fasting glucose levels. Glucose levels were categorized into three different categories:

Glucose Levels

     -Diabetes (glucose >126),

    -Impaired Fasting Glucose (glucose 100-125),

    -Normal Glucose

Several possible risk factors were also recorded:

Risk Factors

     -Sex

     -Age

     -BMI (normal weight, overweight, obese)

     -Genetics

To determine if each possible risk factor is related to glucose levels,researchers need to use an appropriate hypothesis test.

Test Choices

1. ANOVA

2. Chi-Square GOF

3. Chi-Square test for independence

4. Test for equality of means

5. Test for equality of proportions

6. Other
