A random sample of records of home sales from March 1 to July 1, 2010 from the files maintained by the Charlottesville Board of Realtors gives the Price (in dollars) and Size (in square feet) of 32 homes.  The regression model is as follows: Predicted Price = 47,820 + [ 61 × (Size) ] In this context, does the y-intercept have a reasonable interpretation?

If you were testing whether the difference between two population means were equal (thus your H0: μ1 = μ2), what value would you find in the center of your randomization distribution?

Use the following situation to answer the next three questions. A random sample of records of home sales from March 1 to July 1, 2010 from the files maintained by the Charlottesville Board of Realtors gives the Price (in dollars) and Size (in square feet) of 32 homes.  The regression model is as follows: Predicted Price = 47,820 + [ 61 × (Size) ] What price would you predict for a 2,500 square-foot house in this market?

Suppose we have the following five number summary: Min = 6        Q1 = 11     Median = 12        Q3 = 14    Max = 19 Then, according to the fence rule formula: [LF = Q1 – 1.5(IQR) and UF = Q3 + 1.5(IQR)]:

Identify the appropriate parameter to conduct inference on based on the description of the survey/experiment conducted. Will humans swim faster or slower in syrup?  Twenty swimmers each swam a specified distance in a water-filled pool and in a pool in which the water was thickened with food grade guar gum to create a syrup-like consistecy.  Velocity, in meters per second, was recorded.  The order of the substance was selected randomly and each swimmer swam in both substances.

The width of the confidence interval for a single proportion gets narrower (i.e., smaller) when:

A random sample of 100 bottles of water was collected.  From the sample, the mean ounces was calculated to be 16.91.  In addition, the sample standard deviation was calculated to be 0.12.  Which of the following is true about these values?
