Relevant summary quantities are as follows:
- a. Fit the simple linear regression model to this data. Then determine the proportion of observed variation in astringency that can be attributed to the model relationship between astringency and tannin concentration.
- b. Calculate and interpret a confidence interval for the slope of the true regression line.
- c. Estimate true average astringency when tannin concentration is .6, and do so in a way that conveys information about reliability and precision.
- d. Predict astringency for a single wine sample whose tannin concentration is .6, and do so in a way that conveys information about reliability and precision.
- e. Does it appear that true average astringency for a tannin concentration of .7 is something other than 0? State and test the appropriate hypotheses.

- The table below is from a study called “The Epidemiology of Social Stress.” The researchers in this study conduct a series of statistical tests to shed light on the association between social status variables (IVs) and depression (DVs). The left-hand column shows the tests for mean depressive symptom scores (Number of symptoms reported [range:0-50], higher levels indicate higher number of reported depressive symptoms) by sex, age, marital status, and occupational prestige. The right-hand column shows the tests for prevalence of major depressive disorder (has major depression=1; does not have major depression=0), broken down by sex, age, marital status, and occupational prestige. Examine the table and answer questions a)At alpha=.05, what can you conclude about the association between marital status and mean depressive symptom scores?

Does the value of the correlation coefficient suggest that students who use a cell phone for more hours per day tend to have higher GPAs or lower GPAs? The value of the correlation coefficient is , which suggests that students who use a cell phone for more hours per day tend to have GPA's.

When subjects were treated with this drug, their systolic blood pressure readings (in mm Hg) were measured before and after the drug was taken. Results are given in the accompanying table (based on data from “Essential Hypertension: Effect of an Oral Inhibitor of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme,” by MacGregor et al., British Medical Journal, Vol. 2). Using a 0.01 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that Captopril is effective in lowering systolic blood pressure?arrow_forwardWhat is the observational study design used in the study Background: Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent among Indian women. Subclinical vitamin D deficiency is a significant risk factor for osteopenia and fractures. However, its effect on bone metabolism and bone mineral density (BMD) is still debatable. Objectives: This study aimed to determine relationships of the vitamin D status with bone turnover markers, carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type-I collagen (CTX), N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP), and BMD in healthy Indian women. Methods: In this study, we determined serum levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D), parathyroid hormone, serum CTX, and PINP using commercial ELISA kits in 310 healthy Indian women aged 25 - 65 years who underwent BMD measurements with DXA scan. Results: The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 53.87%. A direct correlation of BMD with vitamin D levels was not observed. PINP negatively correlated with vitamin D in both premenopausal…arrow_forward
- widely used as dielectrics and coolants in electrical systems in the past. They were found to be a major environmental contaminant in the 1960s. In a study, the mean PCB content at each of thirteen sites was reported for the years 1982 and 1996 (from “The ratio of DDE to PCB concentrations in Great Lakes herring gull eggs and its use in interpreting contaminants data”, Journal of Great Lakes Research 24 (1): 12-31, 1998).

Hahn (2017) evaluated sociodemographic differences in how people worry about lung cancer. Some of the differences observed across demographic of interest were between males and females [t[45]=0.69; higher mean worry among men], smokers and nonsmokers [t[45]=2.69; higher mean worry among smokers]. However, at least one of these results were not statistically significant. Use the information provided to state which t test or t test did not reach the .05 level of significance in this study.

Cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine, meaning that when nicotine is absorbed by the body, cotinine is produced. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke have a higher mean cotinine level than nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke. Based on your hypothesis tests and confidence intervals, what do you conclude about the effects of second hand smoke? Why?arrow_forward
