Textbook Question

Chapter 3.P2, Problem 4P

If a dosage is missed, explain through the simulations why it is best to skip the dose rather than to try to “catch up” by doubling the next dose, given that it is dangerous and possibly fatal to overdose on the drug. Or, does it not really matter in the case of the given parameter values?

The SAT and ACT exams are often used to predict a student's first-term college grade point average (GPA). Different formulas are used for different colleges and majors. Suppose that a student is applying to a university with an intended major in civil engineering. Also suppose that for this college and this major, the following model is used to predict first term GPA. GPA = a + b(ACT) a = 0.6 b = 0.2 (a) In this context, what would be the appropriate interpretation of the value of a? The value of a is the predicted ACT score of a student who has a 0 GPA. There is not enough information to know how to interpret the value of a. The value of a represents the change in predicted GPA associated with an increase of 1 in ACT score. The value of a represents the change in predicted GPA associated with an decrease of 1 in ACT score. The value of a is the predicted GPA of a student who scored a 0 on the ACT. (b) In this context, what would be the…

As humans we consume food. The body extracts good things such as proteins and vitamins and throws away waste. A typical waste product is a uric acid. High levels of uric acid can be an indication of conditions such as gout, kidney disease, and cancer. For females a high level of uric acid is 6 mg/dL or more and for males a high level of uric acid is 7 mg/dL or more. Suppose, over a period of months, an adult female has taken 8 blood test for uric acid. The results of the test are shown below. results 8.9 6.27 3.99 7.42 9.94 8.99 9.17 5.65 Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean of uric acid in this adult female's blood. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)margin of error mg/dL lower limit mg/dL upper limit mg/dL Does this confidence interval suggest that this adult female has a high level of uric acid? Explain your answer.

Ten years ago, the town of Easton decided to increase its annual spending on education so that its high school graduates would be able to earn higher wages. Now Easton has asked you to evaluate the effectiveness of the spending increase. Their data show that before the spending increase, the average annual salary of recent high school graduates was $25,000 and that now that average salary has risen to $28,500. Fortunately for your analysis, a neighboring community (Allentown) did not change its annual spending on education. Ten years ago, recent Allentown high school graduates earned an average of $22,500, and now that average is $23,750. (a) Use a difference-in-differences estimator to determine whether Easton’s spending increase caused the wages of their high school graduates to increase. please provide an accurate answer.
