#60 Suppose X ~ N(100, 2). Find P(X < 98). Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

Researchers from the Hotchkiss Brain Institute would like to examine the calming effects of THC on patients suffering from PTSD, GAD, and OCD. At the end of the study, the researchers recorded the number of symptoms reported by the patients. Data from this study is shown below:

Does the effect of THC indicate any difference?

Test with α = .01.

Remember: state your hypothesis, identify the critical region, do your test, make a decision and state the results in the conventional manner

This question requires using Rstudio. This is following commands to install and import data into R:

> install.packages("ISLR")
> library(ISLR)
> data(Wage)

The required data installed and imported, now this is description of the data:

This dataset contains economic and demographic data for 3000 individuals living in the mid-Atlantic region. For each of the
3000 individuals, the following 11 variables are recorded:

year: Year that wage information was recorded
age: Age of worker
maritl: A factor with levels 1. Never Married 2. Married 3. Widowed 4. Divorced and 5.
Separated indicating marital status
race: A factor with levels 1. White 2. Black 3. Asian and 4. Other indicating race
education: A factor with levels 1. < HS Grad 2. HS Grad 3. Some College 4. College Grad
and 5. Advanced Degree indicating education level
region: Region of the country (mid-atlantic only)
jobclass: A factor with levels 1. Industrial and 2. Information indicating type of job
health: A factor with levels 1. <=Good and 2. >=Very Good indicating health level of worker
health ins: A factor with levels 1. Yes and 2. No indicating whether worker has health insurance
logwage: Log of workers wage
wage: Workers raw wage

This question continues with the Wage dataset.
(a) Fit a multiple regression model to predict wage using year, age, and jobclass
(b) What is the predicted wage for a 45 year old working in the industrial sector in the year
2009? What are the associated 95% condence and prediction intervals?
(c) Create a binary variable, wage150, that contains a 1 if wage contains a value above
150, and a 0 if wage contains a value below 150.

Please provide all necessary codes using Rstudio. No need to provide any screenshots.
