Based on an alpha of .05, do you reject the null hypothesis (1 pts)? 7. Explain the reason for your answer (1 pts). 2 / Problem set 3: use the following information to answer questions 8-10 (10 points total): We take another look at health based on the practice question on Page 408, this time examining the relationship between educational attainment and perceived quality of health care. Data for three groups are presented based on the HINTS2012 data set. Present the five-step model for these data, using alpha = .01. QUALITYCARE is measured on a five-point scale: 1excellenet, 2very good, 3good, 4fair, and 5poor. Note how a lower score indicates a higher quality of care.

Make decision if alpha was set up at .05, and please use Appendix E (Page 487) to discuss your decision making (2 pts). 3 Problem set 4: use the following information to answer questions 11-15 (15 points total): Let's examine the relationship between GNP per capita and the percentage of respondents willing to pay more in taxes. 11. In this chapter, we used Table 13.4 to illustrate how to calculate the slope and intercept in the regression table. Using table 13.4 as a model, create a similar table using the data below for GNP per capita and the percentage willing to pay higher taxes (6 pts). GNP per Capita (X) % Willing to Pay Higher Taxes (Y) Mean X = X Mean Y = Y X N Y N Variance (Y) = S Y2 (X - ) X (X - )2 X (Y - ) Y (Y - )2 Y (X - ) (Y - X ) Y ; Please make sure you get the correct N 281.41 N 417.64 N (Y Y ) N1 2 Standard deviation (Y) = S Y ______ 4 Variance (X) = S 2 X (X X )2 N1 Standard deviation (X) = S Y ______ Covariance (X,Y) = S YX (X X )(Y Y ) N1 *Answers may differ due to rounding (2 decimal points); however the exact value of these column totals, properly calculated will always be equal to zero.

From the table that you created in #11, calculate a, b, and write out the regression equation (i.e., prediction equation) (3 pts). 13. Calculate and interpret error type, E2 (3 pts). % Willing to Pay Higher Taxes (Y) Predicted % Willing to Pay Higher Taxes () (Y- )2 (Y- ) = 5 14. Using your answer from #13, calculate the PRE measure, r2. Interpret (2 pts). 15. About what percentage of citizens are willing to pay higher taxes for a country with a GNP per capita of 3.0 (i.e., $3,000)? For a GNP per capita of 30.0 (i.e., $30,000) (1 pt)? Problem set 5: use the following information to answer questions 17-20 (5 points total): 6 16. Calculate the Y-intercept, a, of the regression equation using the following information: (1 pt) Mean number of years of schooling: 15 Mean monthly income: $3,360 Slope, b, of the regression equation: $970 17. Consider the following linear regression prediction equation: Y = 12 + -1x. If x = 5, what is the predicted value of, Y, for this observation (1 pt)? 18. Consider the following linear regression prediction equation: Y = 12 + -1x. If the predicted value of, Y, for an observation is 3, calculate the residual for an observation where the observed value, Y, is equal to 8 (1 pt)? 19. What are the four assumptions of ANOVA (2 pts)? 20. What is the five steps in hypothesis testing using ANOVA (extra 5 pts)? 1. Use an example to explain the differences between a Type I and Type II error. 2. What is level of significance? What does it mean if we say the test is "statistically significant at .05 level"? 3.
