Order Paper Now1.For each of the 2 majors test the hypothesis at the 5% significance level:
oThe mean ‘Cost’ for a college is $160,000. Be sure to interpret your results.
1.For Business versus Engineering majors conduct a two sample test of the hypothesis at the 10% significance level (assume the variances are not equal):
oThe average ’30-Year ROI’ for Business majors is less than for Engineering Majors. Be sure to interpret your results.
Task 2:
Relationship of Height and Weight
Using the given Height and Weight data set, follow the steps in the weekly video or on pages 584-585 of the textbook for performing a regression analysis using Excel to analyze the Height and Weight Data set (assume height is the input variable x and weight is the output variable y).
Once you have performed the analysis in Excel, state the correct simple linear regression equation and use the regression equation to predict the weight (in pounds) of a person who is 65 inches tall and the weight (in pounds) of a person who is 100 inches tall.
Why might the regression equation you have found not be a good predication of the weight of someone who is 100 inches tall?
