Step by step solution

01

Introduction

Any x-y coordinate plane can be used to graph equations involving one or two variables. The following guidelines are valid in general: The coordinates of a point on the graph of an equation make the equation true, if a point's coordinates result in a true statement for an equation, the point is on the equation's graph.

02

Determine the equation of the line passing through the point (1, 1) and (5, 5).

Equation of straight line:

y= β0+ β1x .............(1)

If line passing through, (1, 1).

1= β0+ β1(1)

If line passing through, (5, 5).

5= β0+ β1(5)

Solve equation (2) & (3) simultaneously,

β0+ β1 -1 = β0+ β1(5)-5

β1 -1 = 5β1-5

1= 4

β1=1

Therefore, put β1=1 in equation (2)

1= β0+ 1(1)

1= β0+ 1

β0 =0

Now, put β1=1 and β0 =0 in equation (3)

y= β0+ β1x

y= 0+ 1x

y=x

Therefore, the required equation is y=x.

03

Determine the equation of the line passing through the point (0, 3) and (3, 0).

Equation of straight line:

y= β0+ β1x .............(1)

If line passing through, (0, 3).

3= β0+ β1(0)

β0 = 3

If line passing through, (3, 0).

0= β0+ β1(3)

Therefore, put β0= 3 in equation (2)

0= 3+ 3β1

1 = -3

β1 = -1

Now, put β1= -1 and β0 = 3 in equation (3)

y= β0+ β1x

y= 3+ (-1)x

y= 3-x

Therefore, the required equation is y = 3-x.

04

Determine the equation of the line passing through the point (-1, 1) and (4, 2).

Equation of straight line:

y= β0+ β1x .............(1)

If line passing through, (-1, 1).

1= β0+ β1(-1) .............(2)

If line passing through, (4, 2).

2= β0+ β1(4) ................(3)

Solve equation (2) & (3) simultaneously,

β0+ β1(-1) -1 = β0+ β1(4)-2

1 -1 = 4β1-2

11 = 2-1

1=1

β1 =1/5

Therefore, put β1= 1/5 in equation (2)

1= β0+ (1/5)(-1)

1= β0(-1/5)

β0 = 1+(1/5)

β0=(5+1)/5

β0=6/5

Now, put β1=(1/5) and β0 =6/5 in equation (3)

y= β0+ β1x

y= (6/5)+ (1/5)x

y= (6/5)+(x/5)

Therefore, the required equation is y= (6/5)+(x/5).

It is desired to test H0: m = 75 against Ha: m 6 75 using a = .10. The population in question is uniformly distributed with standard deviation 15. A random sample of size 49 will be drawn from the population.

a. Describe the (approximate) sampling distribution of x under the assumption that H0 is true.

b. Describe the (approximate) sampling distribution of x under the assumption that the population mean is 70.

c. If m were really equal to 70, what is the probability that the hypothesis test would lead the investigator to commit a Type II error?

d. What is the power of this test for detecting the alternative Ha: m = 70?

Is honey a cough remedy? Refer to the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine (December 2007) study of honey as a remedy for coughing, Exercise 2.31 (p. 86). Recall that the 105 ill children in the sample were randomly divided into groups. One group received a dosage of an over-the-counter cough medicine (DM); another group received a dosage of honey (H). The coughing improvement scores (as determined by the children’s parents) for the patients in the two groups are reproduced in the accompanying table. The pediatric researchers desire information on the variation in coughing improvement scores for each of the two groups.

a. Find a 90% confidence interval for the standard deviation in improvement scores for the honey dosage group.

b. Repeat part a for the DM dosage group.

c. Based on the results, parts a and b, what conclusions can the pediatric researchers draw about which group has the smaller variation in improvement scores? (We demonstrate a more statistically valid method for comparing variances in Chapter 8.)

Question: Independent random samples n1 =233 and n2=312 are selected from two populations and used to test the hypothesis Ha:(μ1-μ)2=0against the alternative Ha:(μ1-μ)20

.a. The two-tailed p-value of the test is 0.1150 . Interpret this result.b. If the alternative hypothesis had been Ha:(μ1-μ)2<0 , how would the p-value change? Interpret the p-value for this one-tailed test.

The data for a random sample of six paired observations are shown in the next table.

a. Calculate the difference between each pair of observations by subtracting observation two from observation 1. Use the differences to calculate d¯andsd2.

b. If μ1andμ2are the means of populations 1 and 2, respectively, expressed μdin terms of μ1andμ2.

c. Form a 95% confidence interval for μd.

d. Test the null hypothesis H0d=0against the alternative hypothesis Had0. Useα=.05 .

Drug content assessment. Refer to Exercise 8.16 (p. 467)and the Analytical Chemistry (Dec. 15, 2009) study in which scientists used high-performance liquid chromatography to determine the amount of drug in a tablet. Recall that 25 tablets were produced at each of two different, independent sites. The researchers want to determine if the two sites produced drug concentrations with different variances. A Minitab printout of the analysis follows. Locate the test statistic and p-value on the printout. Use these values α=.05and to conduct the appropriate test for the researchers.
