II. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM As part of a long-term study of individuals 65 years of age or older, sociologists and physicians at the Wentworth Medical Center in upstate New York investigated the relationship between geographic location, health status ( healthy or one or more comorbidities), and depression. Random samples of 20 healthy individuals were selected from three geographic locations: Florida, New York, and North Carolina. Then, each was given a standardized test to measure depression (higher test scores indicate higher levels of depression). Similarly, random samples of 20 individuals with one or more comorbidities (arthritis, hypertension, and/or heart ailment) were taken from the three geographic locations. They were also …show more content…

    For example: 1. An adjusted R2 value of 0.733 indicates that the variation in the x-variables explains 73% of the variation in sales 2. A standard error of 2,819 tells you that two-thirds of the predicted sales will be in this range and that 95% (margin of error) of the predicted sales will be accurate within 5,638 3. When all other independent variables are the same, on average a $130,000 increase in predicted sales is associated with a 1% increase….

    of creating tires at Flyrock Tires involves 20 different steps to take the rubber from bales to final curing. Given this complexity and the high production volume (the factory produces about 10,000 tires per hour), it takes only a small margin of error in each of these steps to begin to compound and result in a high defective rate. For both public safety and their reputation, Flyrock strives to minimize the number of defects. The answers to the questions asked by this case form a good base for evaluating….
