A researcher would like to evaluate the claim that drinking large quantities of water can help prevent the common cold. One group of participants drinks 8 glasses of water every day, and a second group drinks 2 glasses of water every day. The researcher records the number of colds each individual experiences during the 4-month winter season. what is the independent variable? what research method is being used experimental or correlational?
Bardi Trucking Co., located in Cleveland, Ohio, makes deliveries in the Great Lakes region, the Southeast, and the Northeast. Jim Bardi, the president, is studying the relationship between the distance a shipment must travel and the length of time, in days, it takes the shipment to arrive at its destination. To investigate, Mr. Bardi selected a random sample of 20 shipments made last month. Shipping distance is the independent variable and shipping time is the dependent variable. The results are as follows: b-1. Fill in the blanks. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places. Negative values should be indicated by minus sign.) x⎯⎯x¯ y⎯⎯y¯ Sx Sy r b-2.

he average height of a large group of children is 43 inches, and the SD is 1.2 inches. The average weight of these children is 40 pounds, and the SD is 2pounds. The correlation between the two variables is r = 0.65.A scatter diagram is drawn, with height on the horizontal axis and weight on the vertical axis. The scatter diagram is football-shaped. The regression line forpredicting weight based on height is drawn through the scatter.Q. Predict the weights and the typical size of the error for those predictions ineach of the following case: Suppose a child’s height is at the 29th percentile of all heights. Using regression, our best guess is that the child’s weight (measured in pounds) is at the___________________ percentile compared to all other children.
Researcher asked waitresses to wear different colored T-shirts on different days for a six-week period and recorded the tips left by male customers. The results show that male customers gave significantly bigger tips to waitresses when there were wearing red. For this study, identify the independent and dependent variable (two answers)?
A test has two portions: verbal and math. The scores for each portion are positively correlated with a correlation coefficient of 0.65. A scatter diagram of the scores is football shaped. Scores on the verbal portion have an average of 450 points and an SD of 100 points. Scores on the math portion have an average of 425 points and an SD of 110 points. b) Consider all the students who got 500 points on the verbal portion. Regression predicts that they will have an average score of ____ points on the math portion. The RMS Error for this prediction is ____ points. This means that for 95% of students with a 500 on the verbal portion, the regression prediction will correct to within ____ points. c) Among students who score 500 on verbal, what percent score above 500 on math? d) A student scores at the 20th percentile of verbal scores. This means that his verbal score is ____ SDs below the average verbal score. Using regression, we can predict he will have a score on the math portion that is…
We expect a car’s highway gas mileage to be related to its city gas mileage (in mpg). Data for all 12091209 vehicles in the government’s 2016 Fuel Economy Guide give the regression line highway mpg=7.903+(0.993×city mpg)highway mpg=7.903+(0.993×city mpg) for predicting highway mileage from city mileage. (a) What is the slope of this line? (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places.) (b) What is the intercept? (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places.)
Last school year, the student body of a local university consisted of 35% freshmen, 25% sophomores, 24% juniors, and 16% seniors. A sample of 300 students taken from this year's student body was taken to determine if there had been a significant change in % of students for each classification for this year as compared to last year. This analysis is an example of a Regression O Goodness of Fit Analysis of Variance Test of Independence
Mr. Saif has conducted a research study to know the attitude of graduate students towards entrepreneurship business. In this regard, he has collected the data from the Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat and University of Technology and Applied Sciences, Muscat using a structured questionnaire. The feedback of 400 students has been collected from these universities. For the data analysis, the researcher has used exploratory factor analysis and regression to evaluate the factors influencing the attitude of students towards entrepreneurship business. Question: Evaluate the methodology approach used for this study by discussing its features.
We expect a car’s highway gas mileage to be related to its city gas mileage (in mpg). Data for all 12091209 vehicles in the government’s 2016 Fuel Economy Guide give the regression line highway mpg=7.903+(0.993×city mpg)highway mpg=7.903+(0.993×city mpg) for predicting highway mileage from city mileage. (a) What is the slope of this line? (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places.) What does the numerical value of the slope tell you? On average, highway mileage decreases by 0.9930.993 mpg for each additional mpg in city mileage. On average, highway mileage increases by 0.9930.993 mpg for each additional mpg in city mileage. For every 7.9037.903 mpg in city gas mileage, highway gas mileage increases about 0.9930.993 mpg. Highway gas mileage increases with city gas mileage by 7.9037.903 mpg for each additional mpg in city mileage. On average, highway mileage increases by 7.9037.903 mpg for each additional mpg in city mileage. (b) What is the intercept?…
