1. (0.8) two areas of a large city are being considered as the seat of
day care centres. Of 200 families interviewed in one section.
the proportion of mothers working full - time was 0.52. In
the other section, 40 % of the 150 families interviewed had mothers who
they worked full-time jobs. With a level of significance
of o =0.04. is there is a significant difference in the proportion of mothers
who work full - time in the two areas of the city?.

Cardiogenic shock can result from a variety of initiating events. In addition to L.V.'s obvious myocardial infarctions, identify other potential contributing causes that you will assess in L.V.

Mr. L.V. is a 68-year-old male admitted to the coronary care unit 24 hours ago with an anteroseptal myocardial infarction (MI). His past medical history includes two other MIs within the last 5 years, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and sleep apnea. L.V. had chest pain at home for 12 hours before seeking medical treatment. Lab results note troponin I at 5.2 mcg/L.

Mr. L.V. is currently pain free with stable VS. The heart monitor shows sinus rhythm with occasional, unifocal premature ventricular contractions and a heart rate (HR) in the 90s. His blood pressure (BP) is 130/70, respiratory rate (RR) is 24 breaths/minute and O2 saturation is 93% on O2 via nasal cannula at 2 L/min. He has a heparin drip infusing at 1200 U/hr and IV nitroglycerin infusing at 20 mcg/min. You are assigned to care for L.V. as part of a two-patient assignment.

Question: Cardiogenic shock can result from a variety of initiating events. In addition to L.V.'s obvious myocardial infarctions, identify other potential contributing causes that you will assess in L.V.

Imagine that you have discovered a new element in the soil of Mars called Marsantium (Ms). Martian elements have slightly different properties than elements found on Earth – full valence shells have 16 electrons rather than 2 or 8. Ms contains 15 electrons in its valence shell. (Assume that the laws of physics still apply on Mars.)

1. Is Ms likely to be reactive (form bonds with other atoms)? Why or why not?

2. You mix Ms together with another Martian element, Alenium (Am). Alenium has a valence shell with 1 electron. What type of bond is most likely to form between these two atoms? In your answer, describe how the electrons are shared or gained/lost.

A real estate Association in a suburban community would like to study the relationship between the size of a single-family house (as measured by number of rooms) and the selling price of the house (in thousands of dollars). Two different neighborhoods are included in the study, one on the east side of the community (=0) and the other on the west side (=1). A random sample of 20 houses was selected with the results given at left.

a. State the multiple regression equation that predicts the selling price based on the number of rooms in the neighborhood.

b. Interpret the regression coefficients in a.

c. Predict the selling price for a house with nine rooms that is located in an East-side neighborhood. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate and 95% prediction interval.

d. Perform a residual analysis on the results and determine if the regression assumptions are valid.

e. Is there a significant relationship between the selling price and two independent variables at the 0.05 level of significance?

  1. Choose the t test (which mean pick ONE) you think is appropriate out of the three t tests listed below to determine the t-value for the data (you can copy the results from your SPSS output and past them here:
    1. One sample (Mean) test
    2. Two samples (independent t-test) test
    3. Paired/related sample t tests
  2. From the t test you ran above, tell me the confidence intervals (look under 95% CI, lower and upper) for the data and interpret what they mean.

Using the following dataset, conduct a one-way ANOVA and post-hoc comparisons if necessary.   A real estate developer is considering investing in a shopping mall on the outskirts of Atlanta, GA. Three parcels of land are being evaluated. Of particular importance is the income in the area surrounding the proposed mall. A random sample of four families is selected near each proposed mall. The following are the sample results. At the 0.05 significance level, can the developer conclude there is a difference in the mean income?
