1) Understand the equation of the regression line for the given data.
2) What does the correlation coefficient “r” for the data mean?
3) Predict a Lab Report Score for someone who spent one hour on it.

Predicted score for someone who spent one hour would be:y = 3.158(1) +24.71y = 27.9 or I would say 28 since all scores are in whole numbers“r” of 0.9248 means strong positive correlation.

A State Trooper notes that at a certain intersection, an average of three cars run the red-light per hour. What is the probability that the next time he is there exactly two cars run the red-light?
Poisson with average of 3. want P(2)
P(2) = .2240 (Use Minitab) and also be able to find probability values for less than, less than or equal to, etc.

The probability that a house in a neighborhood has a dog is 40%. If 50 houses in the neighborhood are randomly selected what is the probability that one (or a certain number) of the houses will have a dog?
a. Is this a binomial experiment? b. Use the correct formula to find the probability
that, out of 50 houses, exactly 22 of the houses will have dogs. Show your calculations or explain how you found the probability.

a) Fixed number of independent trials, only two possible outcomes in each trial {S,F} (dog or not), probability of success is the same for each trial, and random variable x counts the number of successful trials. So YES it is.
b) n = 50; p = .40 = P(success) = house has a
dog We want P(22) --> P(22) = .0959 (Use Minitab) (Also be able to find “at least” , “at most”, “or” etc.

Be able to understand the normal distribution and how it relates to the mean, standard deviation, variance, etc.
For example, I did an analysis and found the mean number of failures was 7 and the standard deviation was 1.5. Answer the two questions below.
How many standard deviations is 10 from the mean? 10 – 7 = 3, 3/1.5 = 2 (your answer)
How many standard deviations is 6.25 from the mean? 6.25 – 7 = - .75, - .75/1.5 = -0.5 (your answer)

The mean number of teachers in a Virginia public school is said to be 42.7. A hypothesis test is performed at a level of significance of 0.05 and a P-value of .06. How would you interpret this?
Fail to reject the null hypothesis, because there is not enough evidence to reject the claim that there are 42.7 teachers per school.

Outcomes/Probability $10 (10%), $6 (20%), $2 (30%), $1 (40%)
10(0.10)+6(0.20) + 2(0.30) + 1 (0.40) = $3.20 (this would be the expected gain for playing the game once)
For five times it would be 5($3.20) = $16.00

As an instructor, I have been collecting data to see if I can model a student’s performance on a standardized entrance exam. I determined that the multiple regression equation y = -250+ 16a + 30b, where a is a student’s grade on a quiz, b is the student’s rank on a class list, gives y, the score on a standardized entrance exam. Based on this equation, what would the standardized entrance exam score for a student who makes a 7 on the quiz and had a ranking of 10 be?

A Pizza Delivery Service claims that it will get its pizzas delivered in less than 30 minutes. A random selection of 49 service times was collected, and their mean was calculated to be 28.6 minutes. The standard deviation was 4.7 minutes. Is there enough evidence to support the claim at alpha = .10. Perform an appropriate hypothesis test, showing each important step.

Ho: mu >= 30 min.
Ha: mu < 30 min. (claim). Therefore, it is a left-tailed test.
n=49; x-bar=28.6; s=4.7; alpha=0.10
Since alpha = 0.10, then the critical z value will be zc = -1.28
since n>30 then s can be used in place of sigma.
Standardized test statistic z = (x-bar - mu)/(s/sqrt(n)) z = (28.6-30)/(4.7/sqrt(49)) z = -2.085
since -2.085 < -1.28, we REJECT Ho.
That is, at alpha = 0.10, There is enough evidence to support the
Pizza Delivery Service’s claim.
(p-value method could have also been used)

(a). Since sample size = n = 100> 30, we can use a z-value. For a 95% confidence level, z-value = 1.96. Also, sample mean = xbar = 50; population standard deviation is estimated by sample standard deviation (since n > 30) = s = 8.50
E = z * s / sqrt(n) = 1.96 * 8.50/sqrt(100) = 1.666
xbar + E = 50.00 + 1.67 = 51.67xbar - E = 50.00 - 1.67 = 48.33
Thus, 95% confidence interval = ($48.33,$51.67)
(b) We are 95% confident that the population mean amount contributed is between $48.33 and $51.67
