The IRS wants to develop a method for detecting whether or not individuals have overstated their deductions for charitable contr

ibutions on their tax returns. To assist in this effort, the IRS supplied data found in the file IRS.xlsx that accompanies this book listing the adjusted gross income (AGI) and charitable contributions for 11 taxpayers whose returns were audited and found to be correct.
Required:
a. Prepare a scatter plot of the data. Does there appear to be a linear relationship between these variables?
b. Develop a simple linear regression model that can be used to predict the level of charitable contributions from a return's AGI. What is the estimated regression equation?
c. Interpret the value of R2.
d. How might the IRS use the regression results to identify returns with unusually high charitable contributions?

Answer:

ŷ = 195.698X - 6169.941 ;

R² = 0.9224 ; About 92% variation in the value of Charitable contribution can be explained by the best fit line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excel data:

AGI: (X) :

55

58

63

67

74

78

83

88

92

98

105

Charitable contribution Y:

4200

4800

6329

8017

7400

8600

12290

10406

11820

12090

14675

The scatter plot can b found in the picture attached below.

The estimated regression equation obtained is :

ŷ = 195.698X - 6169.941

Where ;

slope of the regression line = 195.698 ;

Intercept = - 6169.941

The R² value is called the Coefficient of determination which gives the proportion of variation due to the best fit line. Using the Coefficient determination calculator ; R² = 0.9224

About 92% variation in the value of Charitable contribution can be explained by the best fit line.

Given a sample mean difference of 23, a standard error of 4.2, and a critical t value of 2.262, what are the values for the conf
erastova [34]

Answer: (13.4996, 32.5004)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for mean difference is given by :-

(\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2)\pm t^*\times SE ,

where (\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2) = sample mean difference .

t^*= critical t value (two-tailed)

SE= Standard error.

Given : (\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2)=23

t^*=2.262

SE= 4.2

Now, the confidence interval for mean difference will be :-

23\pm (2.262)\times (4.2)\\\\= 23\pm9.5004\\\\=(23-9.5004,\ 23+9.5004)\\\\=(13.4996,\ 32.5004)

Hence, the required confidence interval : (13.4996, 32.5004)

Nethan made 8 rose bouquets and 6 daffodil bouquets. Nethan only has enough flowers to make at most 20 rose or daffodil bouquets
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Nethan made 8 rose bouquets and 6 daffodil bouquets.

Nethan only has enough flowers to make at most 20 rose or daffodil bouquets total.

Let x represents the number of more rose bouquets.

Let y represents the number of more daffodil bouquets.

The maximum bouquets that can be made = 20

And the number of bouquets made are = 14

So, additional bouquets are = 20-14=6

In equation form we can show like :

x +y= 6

or y=6 -x

or x=6- y

Putting values of x as 0,2,4 and 6 we get:

When x = 0 then y = 6  

When x = 2 then y = 4

When x = 4 then y = 2

When x = 6 then y = 0

You can see the graph attached.

In a particular triathlon the athletes cover 1/24 of the total distance by
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "d" be the total distance, that is, the distance for swimming (s), running (r) and going by bike (b).

d = s + r + b   [1]

1/24 of the total distance is covered by  swimming.

s = 1/24 d   [2]

1/3 of the distance is covered by running.

r = 1/3 d  [3]

If we replace [2] and [3] in [1], we get

d = 1/24 d + 1/3 d + b

b = d - 1/24 d - 1/3 d

b = 24/24 d - 1/24 d - 8/24 d

b = 15/24 d = 5/8 d

The ratio of  the distance covered by bike to the distance covered by running is:

b/r = (5/8 d)/(1/3 d) = 15/8
