Calculate SSE andfor each of the following cases:
a. n = 20,,,
b. n = 40, , , ,
c. n = 10, ,,
Short Answer
- SSE = 57.5, = 3.195
- SSE = 257.5, = 6.78
- SSE = 12.5, = 1.56

Get started for freeCongress voting on women’s issues. The American Economic Review (March 2008) published research on how the gender mix of a U.S. legislator’s children can influence the legislator’s votes in Congress. The American Association of University Women (AAUW) uses voting records of each member of Congress to compute an AAUW score, where higher scores indicate more favorable voting for women’s rights. The researcher wants to use the number of daughters a legislator has to predict the legislator’s AAUW score.

Joint Strike Fighter program. Refer to the Air & Space Power Journal (March-April 2014) study of the Joint Strike Fighter program, Exercise 11.22 (p. 655). You fit the simple linear regression model relating y = estimated annual cost to x = year of initial aircraft operation.
a. Find s, the estimated standard deviation of the random error term, for the model.
b. Give a practical interpretation of s.
Permeability of sandstone during weathering.Natural stone, such as sandstone, is a popular building construction material. An experiment was carried out to better understand the decay properties of sandstone when exposed to the weather (Geographical Analysis,Vol. 42, 2010). Blocks of sandstone were cut into 300 equal-sized slices and the slices randomly divided into three groups of 100 slices each. Slices in Group A were not exposed to any type of weathering; slices in Group B were repeatedly sprayed with a 10% salt solution (to simulate wetting by driven rain) under temperate conditions; and slices in Group C were soaked in a 10% salt solution and then dried (to simulate blocks of sandstone exposed during a wet winter and dried during a hot summer). All sandstone slices were then tested for permeability, measured in milliDarcies (mD). These permeability values measure pressure decay as a function of time. The data for the study (simulated) are saved in the STONEfile. Measures of central tendency for the permeability measurements of each sandstone group are displayed in the accompanying Minitab printout.

a.Interpret the mean and median of the permeability measurements for Group A sandstone slices.
b.Interpret the mean and median of the permeability measurements for Group B sandstone slices.
c.Interpret the mean and median of the permeability measurements for Group C sandstone slices.
d.Interpret the mode of the permeability measurements for Group C sandstone slices.
e.The lower the permeability value, the slower the pressure decay in the sandstone over time. Which type of weathering (type B or type C) appears to result in faster decay?
