Below is a contingency table from the results of the 2012 General Social Survey. Respondents were asked to identify how much they understood issues facing the country. Responses were broken down by gender. 1:None 2:A little 3:Some 4:Quite a Bit 5:A great deal Male 14 51 140 89 23 Female 16 69 138 58 16 What is the conditional probability that someone knows “a little” given that they were female?

A least squares regression equation was computed to predict the weight (lbs) of a 3 year old toddler based on the toddler’s height (in). The equation was yhat = 5.63 + 0.618x. (The data set included toddlers between roughly 24 and 48 inches.) Find the predicted weight of a toddler that was 44 inches tall.

Does someone’s current age affect what they think is an appropriate retirement age? People were polled about both their current age and what they thought would be an appropriate retirement age. They wanted to predict the “appropriate retirement age” by using their current age. The data below is only for female participants. The average of current age was 33.15 and the standard deviation was 13.93 . The average of appropriate age of retirement was 62.07 and the standard deviation was 8.10. The value for correlation was 0.1616 . Find the least squares regression equation.
