The data below represent the number of days absent, x, and the final grade, y, for a sample of college students at a large university. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
| 89.0 | 86.1 | 83.0 | 80.5 | 77.4 | 73.0 | 63.3 | 67.8 | 64.8 | 61.8 |
(a) Find the least-squares regression line treating the number of absences, x, as the explanatory variable and the final grade, y, as the response variable.
(b) Interpret the slope and y-intercept, if appropriate.
(c) Predict the final grade for a student who misses two class periods and compute the residual. Is the observed final grade above or below average for this number of absences?
(d) Draw the least-squares regression line on the scatter diagram of the data.
(e) Would it be reasonable to use the least-squares regression line to predict the final grade for a student who has missed 18 class periods? Why or why not?

Fiscal policies are those which are enacted and changed by the government which majorly involves changing the government spending in the economy or changing the tax rates. Let us consider one of the most important taxes, the income tax. An income tax is a proportion of the income that you have to pay as taxes to the government. Since, the tax is progressive, the higher the income, the higher is the tax and thus it affects you as an individual directly. If you make 100,000 a year and the tax rate for your income is 50% than you are left with $50000. My mother usually pays taxes and a lot of the times owes because of her business. It impacts me because when business is down she still owes taxes.

Waiting times (in minutes) of customers in a bank where all customers enter a single waiting line and a bank where customers wait in individual lines at three different teller windows are listed below. Find the mean and median for each of the two samples, then compare the two sets of results. Single Line 6.5 6.6 6.7 6.8 7.0 7.1 7.5 7.6 7.6 7.6 Individual Lines 4.2 5.4 5.8 6.2 6.5 7.6 7.6 8.6 9.2 9.9 The mean waiting time for customers in a single line is nothing minutes. The median waiting time for customers in a single line is nothing minutes. The mean waiting time for customers in individual lines is nothing minutes. The median waiting time for customers in individual lines is nothing minutes. Determine whether there is a difference between the two data sets that is not apparent from a comparison of the measures of center. If so, what is it? A. The times for customers in a single line are much more varied than the times for customers in individual lines. B. The times for customers in individual lines are much more varied than the times for customers in a single line. C. There is no difference between the two data sets.

1. What is the proportion of males who bullied others? What is the proportion of females who bullied others? Which gender (male or female) possessed a deeper involvement in bullying others?
2. Test the hypothesis (at the .05 level of significance) that individuals who were bullied are more likely to bully others. Test the hypothesis (at the .05 level of significance) that individuals who were bullied committed more bullying than those who were not bullied.
3. Draw a scatter plot of “number of friends who bully” [x axis] and “number of times respondent bullied others” [y axis]. Based only on the scatter plot, do you believe the correlation between these two variables is positive or negative. Why?
4. If you were to draw one individual from this sample of 10 individuals, what would do characteristics do you believe would be the most likely to be drawn (1 = Bully Victim and Bully Offender; 2 = Bully Victim but not Bully Offender; 3 = Bully Offender but not Bully Victim; or 4 = Non Bully Victim and Non Bully Offender)? Why?
5. If the researcher used all of these variables to predict whether a respondent was a Bully, which variable (# of friends who bully, respondent was a bully victim, or gender) do you believe would be the strongest predictor? Why?

Assuming that we are at a full employment equilibrium, suggest a disturbance that would move us away from the full employment equilibrium? Show this disturbance graphically. If we are at an unemployment equilibrium, what policy might you use to bring us to full employment? Explain and show graphically.
