Suppose you are interested in the effect of skipping lectures (in days missed) on college grades. You also have ACT scores and h

(a) Interpret the intercept in this model.
(b) Interpret BACT from this model.
(c) What is the predicted college GPA for someone who scored a 25 on the ACT, had a 3.2 high school GPA and missed 4 lectures. Show your work.

Answer:

a) For this case the intercept of 2.52 represent a common effect of measure for any student without taking in count the other variables analyzed, and we know that if HSGPA=0, ACT= 0 and skip =0 we got colGPA=2.52

b) This value represent the effect into the ACT scores in the GPA, we know that:

\hat \beta_{ACT} = 0.015

So then for every unit increase in the ACT score we expect and increase of 0.015 in the GPA or the predicted variable

c) If we are interested in analyze if we have a significant relationship between the dependent and the independent variable we can use the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: \beta_i = 0

Alternative hypothesis: \beta_i \neq 0

Or in other wouds we want to check if an specific slope is significant.

The significance level assumed for this case is \alpha=0.05

Th degrees of freedom for a linear regression is given by df=n-p-1 = 45-3-1 = 41, where p =3 the number of variables used to estimate the dependent variable.

In order to test the hypothesis the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\hat \beta_i}{SE_{\beta_i}}

And replacing we got:

t = \frac{-0.5}{0.0001}=-5000

And for this case we see that if we find the p value for this case we will get a value very near to 0, so then we can conclude that this coefficient would be significant for the regression model .

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following multiple regression model calculated:

colGPA =2.52+0.38*HSGPA+0.015*ACT-0.5*skip

Part a

(a) Interpret the intercept in this model.

For this case the intercept of 2.52 represent a common effect of measure for any student without taking in count the other variables analyzed, and we know that if HSGPA=0, ACT= 0 and skip =0 we got colGPA=2.52

(b) Interpret \hat \beta_{ACT} from this model.

This value represent the effect into the ACT scores in the GPA, we know that:

\hat \beta_{ACT} = 0.015

So then for every unit increase in the ACT score we expect and increase of 0.015 in the GPA or the predicted variable

(c) What is the predicted college GPA for someone who scored a 25 on the ACT, had a 3.2 high school GPA and missed 4 lectures. Show your work.

For this case we can use the regression model and we got:

colGPA =2.52 +0.38*3.2 +0.015*25 - 0.5*4 = 26.751

(d) Is the estimate of skipping class statistically significant? How do you know? Is the estimate of skipping class economically significant? How do you know? (Hint: Suppose there are 45 lectures in a typical semester long class).

If we are interested in analyze if we have a significant relationship between the dependent and the independent variable we can use the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: \beta_i = 0

Alternative hypothesis: \beta_i \neq 0

One of the main contaminants of a nuclear accident, such as that at Chernobyl, is strontium-90, which decays exponentially at a
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: P=0.975^t


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the general form of the exponential decay formula is


y=A(1-r)^t, where y is final amount remaining after t time, A is the original amount and r is the rate of decay


Now, the ratio of strontium-90 remaining, p , as a function of years, t , since the nuclear accident. P=\frac{A(1-0.02)^t}{A}=\frac{(0.975)^t}{1}

Hence, the ratio of remaining since the nuclear accident is P=0.975^t

Micheal has been awarded a pay rise of 4%.His salary is £ 24 492 <br> What was his apart before?
Nesterboy [21]
Because there was a pay rise, we can write the equation as x+0.04x = 24.492 and solve for x.

x+0.04x = 24.492
1.04x = 24.492
x=23.55

His original pay was £23.55

Which statement is true about the circumference of a circle? The circumference is equal to the radius of the circle. The circumf
Irina18 [472]
<h3>The true statement about circumference of a circle is:  circumference is found by multiplying Pi by the diameter</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The circumference of a circle is given as:</u></em>

\text{circumference } = 2 \pi r

Where,

"r" is the radius of circle

We know that,

diameter = 2 \times radius\\\\d = 2 \times r\\\\d = 2r

<em><u>Thus the circumference can also written as:</u></em>

\text{circumference } = 2 \pi r\\\\\text{circumference } = \pi \times d

Thus, the circumference is found by multiplying Pi by the diameter is correct statement
