Explanation of Solution
Graph: To perform the multiple regression by using year and census count as explanatory variables use Minitab. Follow the steps below:
Step 1: Enter the data in Minitab worksheet.
Step 2: Go to Stat> Regression >Regression.
Step 3: Select BMI in Response and select
Step 4: Click on Graphs and select “Residuals versus fits.”
Step 5: Click OK.
The residual plot is obtained as:
Interpretation: From the obtained residual plot, it can be concluded that the plot represents no pattern and the data points are randomly scattered.
(d)
To test: The hypothesis that coefficient of the variable
(d)

Answer to Problem 21E
Solution: There is enough evidence to conclude that there is no linear increase over time.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: From the output which is obtained in part (b), the regression equation is
The level of significance is 0.05. The test statistic under null hypothesis is calculated as:
The p-value can be calculated as:
The p-value is 0.0678.
Conclusion: The obtained p-value is greater than the significance level. Hence, there is enough evidence to conclude that the quadratic term contributes insignificantly to the fit.

- A restaurant serves three fixed-price dinners costing $12, $15, and $20. For a randomly selected couple dining at this restaurant, let X = the cost of the man's dinner and Y = the cost of the woman's dinner. The joint pmf of X and Y is given in the following table. p(x, y) 15 y 12 20 12 0.05 0.10 0.35 x 15 0.00 0.20 0.10 20 0.05 0.05 0.10 (a) Compute the marginal pmf of X. x 12 Px(x) Compute the marginal pmf of Y. y Pyly) 12 15 20 15 20 (b) What is the probability that the man's and the woman's dinner cost at most $15 each? (c) Are X and Y independent? Justify your answer. X and Y are independent because P(x, y) = Px(x) · Py(y). X and Y are not independent because P(x, y) =Px(x) · Pyly). X and Y are not independent because P(x, y) * Px(x) · Py(y). X and Y are independent because P(x, y) * Px(x) · Py(y). (d) What is the expected total cost, in dollars, of the dinner for the two people? $ (e) Suppose that when a couple opens fortune cookies at the conclusion of the meal, they find the…arrow_forwardLet X = the time between two successive arrivals at the drive-up window of a local bank. If X has an exponential distribution with λ = 1, (which is identical to a standard gamma distribution with α = 1), compute the following. (If necessary, round your answer to three decimal places.) (a) the expected time between two successive arrivals (b) the standard deviation of the time between successive arrivals (c) P(X ≤ 1) (d) P(2 ≤ X ≤ 4) You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tablesarrow_forwardIn each case, determine the value of the constant c that makes the probability statement correct.
