A human resources director believes that increased physical activity of the employee will results in fewer hours lost to illness. To test this hypothesis she randomly sampled 10 individuals from her company. Each employee was asked 2 simple questions: 1) How many hours per week do exercise? ; 2) How many work hours per year do you lose due to illness? The following results were obtained:
|
Number of hours/week exercise |
Number of work hours/year lost to illness |

2. Is your model a significant fit of the data (quote the relevant statistics)?
Answer (No or Yes), model is Answer (not a significant or a significant) fit of the data, F(Answer, Answer) = Answer, p Answer (> or <).05.
3. How much of the variance in work hours lost to illness can be explained by exercise? Answer% Is it significant? AnswerNoYes
4. What is the power of the study? Answer
5. Write out the regression equation for the model: Y = Answer+AnswerX. If the individual spends 10 per week exercising what would be the predicted number of works hours lost to illness? Answer
6. If the predictor value decreases by 1.5 standard deviations, how much would your outcome variable change (raw score units)? Answer
7. What is the standard error of the estimate? Answer
8. What is the standard error for testing significance of the slope? Answer
9. Figure the confidence interval (95%). Lower Answer, Upper Answer

This is the dataset and its mean and std dev.
The correlation coefficient is equal to -0.562186367
First, we create the regression output for the data.
2)
Is your model a significant fit of the data (quote the relevant statistics)? The significance level of the linear model is equal to 0.0907 > 0.05. Which means that this model is not significant for the data.
3)
How much of the variance in work hours lost to illness can be explained by exercise? 31% variance in work hours lost to illness can be explained by exercise. This is shown by the R-squared statistic.
4)
The regression model is given by the equation
Y=83-3(x)
Y=Number of work hours/year lost to illness
x=Number of hours/week exercise
If the individual spends 10 hrs per week exercising, what would be the predicted number of works hours lost to illness?
\\Y=83-3(10)\\ Y=53

A week-long study of weight change, exercise, and caloric intake was conducted among a sample of members at a local gym. The variables are as follows: DV = weight change in pounds during the week IV1 = mean number of hours of aerobic exercise each day IV2 = mean number of calories eaten each day Note that weight change is defined as the difference between one's weight at the beginning of the week and one's weight at the end of...

Lester Hollar is vice president for human resources for a large manufacturing company. In recent years, he has noticed an increase in absenteeism that he thinks is related to the general health of the employees. Four years ago, in an attempt to improve the situation, he began a fitness program in which employees exercise during their lunch hour. To evaluate the program, he selected a random sample of eight participants and found the number of days each was absent in...
