In a randomly selected sample we detect a small but positive correlation between individuals’ earnings and height, followed by a gently upward slope. Can we conclude that those who earn more tend to be a bit taller than those who earn less? Explain.

A randomly selected sample of 32 individuals reported that their smartphone stopped working after an average of 4.2 years. Assume that we know the population standard deviation of smartphone life expectancy is 1.2 years. Test the claim that the average smartphone life expectancy is less than 4.7 years (the average based on past studies). Use a 0.01 significance level. 1) State the Null Hypothesis, Alternate Hypothesis, type of test & level of significance (2 pts) 2) Check the conditions. (2 pts)...

William used a sample of 68 large U.S. cities to estimate the relationship between Crime (annual property crimes per 100,000 persons) and Income (median annual income per capita, in dollars). His estimated regression equation was Crime = 428 + 0.050 Income. We can conclude that: A: crime seems to create additional income in a city B: the slope is small so Income has no effect on Crime C: wealthy individuals tend to commit more crimes, on average D: by itself...

Imagine that you regressed the earnings of individuals on a constant, a binary variable (“Male”) which takes on the value of 1 for males and is 0 otherwise, and another binary variable (“Female”) which takes on the value of 1 for female and is 0 otherwise. Because females typically earn less than males, you would expect: Group of answer choices autocorrelation or serial correlation to be a serious problem. the estimated coefficient for Male to have a positive sign, and...

A study was conducted on the effects of divorce. Researchers gathered data from a random sample of 5,125 adults and measured quite a few variables, in addition to the explanatory variable of divorce and the response variable of shorter life span. According to a newspaper article summarizing the study, those who divorced were more likely to be less physically active, at an unhealthy weight, and smokers. Those who were married were about 15% more likely to be deceased. What conclusion...
