An employer wants to predict the number of sick days employees
will take depending on whether they have young children or not.
Which of the following is the correct model for mean number of
sick days, E(y), as a function of whether or not the employees
have young children?
A. E(y) = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2, where x1 = 1 if the employee has
young children, 0 otherwise and x2 = 1 if the employee has young
children, 0 otherwise
B. E(y) = β0 + β1x + β2x2, where x = number of young children
C. E(y) = β0 + β1x, where x = number of young children
D. E(y) = β0 + β1x, where x = 1 if the employee has young children, 0 if the employee has no young children

The mean number of sick days per employee taken last year by all employees of a large city was 10.6 days. A city administrator is investigating whether the mean number of sick days this year is different from the mean number of sick days last year. The administrator takes a random sample of 40 employees and finds the mean of the sample to be 12.9. A hypothesis test will be conducted as part of the investigation. Which of the following...
The Human Resource Manager at Crown Point Hotel is looking at the number of sick days that all employees at the hotel have been taking over the past 6 months. She has found that the number of sick days follows a normal distribution with a mean of 6.7 sick days and a variance of 1.44 sick days. What is the probability that in a six-month period an employee takes: More than four and a half (4.5) sick days? (5 marks)...

the mean number of sick days an employee takes per year is believed to be about 10. Members of a personnel department do not believe this figure. They randomly survey B employees. The number of sick days that the mean number is about 107 Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level. they took for the past year are as follows: 12; 6; 14 5 11; 6;10.

A county real estate appraiser wants to develop a statistical model to predict the appraised value of houses in a section of the county called East Meadow. One of the many variables thought to be an important predictor of appraised value is the number of rooms in the house. Consequently, the appraiser decided to fit the linear regression model: E(y) = β0 + β1x, where y = appraised value of the house (in thousands of dollars) and x = number...
The CFO of the company would like to use the number of years employees have been with the company to predict the employees’ salaries. To that end, the CFO decided to fit the linear regression model E(y) = β0 + β1x, where Y = the salary of an employee (in thousands of dollars) and X = the years employed with the company. Using data collected for a sample of n = 35 employees of the company, the following result was...
The mean number of sick days an employee takes per year is believed to be about 10. Members of a personnel department do not believe this figure. They randomly survey 8 employees. The number of sick days they took for the past year are as follows: 10; 5;15; 5; 11; 10; 8; 10. Let x the number of sick days they took for the past year. Should the personnel team believe that the mean number is about 10? Conduct a...
Researchers developed a safety performance function (SPF), which estimates the probability of occurrence of a crash for a given segment of roadway. Using data on over 100 segments of roadway, they fit the model E(y) =β0+β1x1+β2x2, where y =number of crashes per three years, x1=roadway length (miles), and x 2 equalsx2=average annual daily traffic (number of vehicles)equals=AADT. Interstate Highways Variable Parameter Estimate Standard Error t-value Intercept 1.81956 0.55151 3.21 Length (X1) 0.19447 0.03716 3.06 AADT (X2) 0.00013 0.00002 5.63 Non-Interstate...
A county real estate appraiser wants to develop a statistical model to predict the appraised value of houses in a section of the county called East Meadow. One of the many variables thought to be an important predictor of appraised value is the number of rooms in the house. Consequently, the appraiser decided to fit the simple linear regression model, y=β0+β1x, where y=appraised value of the house (in $thousands) and x=number of rooms. Using data collected for a sample of...
