We wish to investigate how closely the population of each of the 13 original colonies relates to the number of individuals who signed the Declaration of Independence for each colony.  The linear regression results are below.  3 pts. a) Provide the equation of the linear regression line. 2 pts. b) Using the linear regression line found in part a, predict the population for a colony that had 7 individuals sign the Declaration of Independence. 2 pts. c) For Pennsylvania, who had 7 individuals sign the Declaration of Independence, the actual population of the colony at that time was 747, 610. How does this compare to your previous prediction of the population?  What does this imply about the sign of the residual (prediction error)?  Note you do not need to calculate the residual but merely comment on whether the residual is positive or negative. 2 pts. d) Comment on the direction of the relationship. Justify your response by referencing something from the output. 2 pts. e) Describe the strength of the linear relationship. Support your description with the correlation value.

June is National Dairy Month, and in honor of that, let’s examine the distribution of a cow’s milk production.  Milk production follows a normal distribution with a mean of 6 gallons and a standard deviation of 1.3 gallons per day.  To determine the probability that a cow produces less than 7.5 gallons a day, the corresponding z-score rounded to 2 decimal places would be [z] which would lead to a less than probability rounded to 4 decimal places of [prob].

Turkey Research Project (TRP) Case study questions   This sponsored project is a fixed price award to conduct research on the influence of nutrition on turkey reproductive performance.  This is a one-year project. The required items for this case are: TRP Case Study Portfolio (will open in new tab/window) Related Research Policies (will open in new tab/window)   Important notes: Questions on this exam refer to specific forms.  Each financial transaction form is labeled.  Not all of the financial transaction forms included in the study portfolio link may be helpful for all exam questions, but are included as reference materials. Assume all the available documents are included, unless otherwise stated in the question.  If a document is not included, that means it is missing.  The only exception to this rule is required receipts.  Assume that all required receipts are available and that per diem requests accurately reflect departure and arrival times.  Regardless of dates of document, please use current policy. Assume that each financial transaction is independent of the others.  For the purpose of this exam, prior transactions do not have any effect on subsequent transactions. Assume all the transactions require action by the Certified Approver regardless of the type or dollar amount of the transaction. As the Certified Approver, assume you are also the Dept ID approver for all non P-Card transactions.  Your approval will be the final one applied before the transaction gets posted to the ledger.
