STAT 200 Week 7 Homework Problems

10.1.2

Table #10.1.6 contains the value of the house and the amount of rental income in a year that the house brings in (“Capital and rental,” 2013). Create a scatter plot and find a regression equation between house value and rental income. Then use the regression equation to find the rental income a house worth $230,000 and for a house worth $400,000. Which rental income that you calculated do you think is closer to the true rental income? Why?

10.1.4

The World Bank collected data on the percentage of GDP that a country spends on health expenditures (“Health expenditure,” 2013) and also the percentage of women receiving prenatal care(“Pregnant woman receiving,” 2013). The data for the countries where this information are available for the year 2011 is in table #10.1.8. Create a scatter plot of the data and find a regression equation between percentage spent on health expenditure and the percentage of women receiving prenatal care. Then use the regression equation to find the percent of women receiving prenatal care for a country that spends 5.0% of GDP on health expenditure and for a country that spends 12.0% of GDP. Which prenatal care percentage that you calculated do you think is closer to the true percentage? Why?

Researchers watched groups of dolphins off the coast of Ireland in 1998 to determine what activities the dolphins partake in at certain times of the day (“Activities of dolphin,” 2013). The numbers in table #11.1.6 represent the number of groups of dolphins that were partaking in an activity at certain times of days. Is there enough evidence to show that the activity and the time period are independent for dolphins? Test at the 1% level.

In Africa in 2011, the number of deaths of a female from cardiovascular disease for different age groups are in table #11.2.6 (“Global health observatory,” 2013). In addition, the proportion of deaths of females from all causes for the same age groups are also in table #11.2.6. Do the data show that the death from cardiovascular disease are in the same proportion as all deaths for the different age groups? Test at the 5% level.
