Prospective study

Step-by-step explanation:

A cross-sectional study, also known as transverse study, is a type of observational study that analyzes data from a population at a specific point in time. This kind of observation is used if cases cannot be identified a priori or if the prevalence of the disease or condition needs to be determined.

Cohort studies are when two or more groups of subjects are followed over time to see if they develop some disease or if some event occurs, there are two type of cohort studies, prospective and retrospective. Prospective studies (or follow-up studies) follow subjects with different exposures until some point in time where something happens or the study ends, retrospective studies use historical data to make comparisons based on risk factors or exposures that occurred before the events.

Considering the information given and the observational study exposed to the question, we can conclude that we are talking about a prospective study because data is collected over the next 10 years.

Does the graph distort the data? Why or why not?

No, because the graph is technically correct.

Yes, because 3D objects always distort the data in graphs.

Yes, because the graph incorrectly uses objects of volume to represent the data.

No, because the proportions are accurate.

For a data set of weights (pounds) and highway fuel consumption amounts (mpg) of seven types of automobile, the linear correlation coefficient is found and the P-value is 0.035. Write a statement that interprets the P-value and includes a conclusion about linear correlation. The P-value indicates that the probability of a linear correlation coefficient that is at least as extreme is_____________ which is____________ so there_______________ sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between weight and highway fuel consumption in automobiles.

Answer:

The P-value indicates that the probability of a linear correlation coefficient that is at least as extreme is__3.5%___ which is___significant_(at α=0.05)_ so there _is_ sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between weight and highway fuel consumption in automobiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation coefficient shows the relation between the weights and highway fuel consumption amounts of seven types of automobile.

P-value states the significance of this relationship. If the p-value is lower than a significance level (for example 0.05) then the relation is said to be significant.

Q59

For a data set of the pulse rates for a sample of adult females, the lowest pulse rate is

3838

beats per minute, the mean of the listed pulse rates is

x overbarxequals=77.077.0

beats per minute, and their standard deviation is

sequals=24.624.6

beats per minute.

What is the difference between the pulse rate of

3838

beats per minute and the mean pulse rate of the females?

How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]?
Convert the pulse rate of

3838

beats per minutes to a z score.

If we consider pulse rates that convert to z scores between

minus−2

and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the pulse rate of

3838

beats per minute significant?

The difference is

Consider a value to be significantly low if its z score less than or equal to

minus−2

or consider a value to be significantly high if its z score is greater than or equal to 2.

A test is used to assess readiness for college. In a recent year, the mean test score was

Q61

Use z scores to compare the given values.

The tallest living man at one time had a height of

243243

The shortest living man at that time had a height of

69.669.6

Heights of men at that time had a mean of

171.43171.43

cm and a standard deviation of

7.657.65

Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme?

Since the z score for the tallest man is

zequals=nothing

and the z score for the shortest man is

zequals=nothing,

the

tallest

man had the height that was more extreme.

A boxplot titled Ratings is plotted above a horizontal scale from 0 to 10 in increments of 1. The boxplot consists of a box that extends from 2.5 to 4.5, a vertical line segment drawn through the box at 3.5, and a horizontal line segment extending from 1 to 9 that bisects the box. All values are approximate.
