  • Pg. 413: 8.47 b-d by hand AND SAS.
17Due: Wednesday, December 6th
(Moved to Friday along with the Project!)
  • Pg. 398: 8.27
  • Pg. 400: 8.36 by hand OR SAS.
16Due: Monday, November 27th
  • Pg. 471: 9.61 a-c and 9.62
  • Pg. 497: 9.94 e
15Due: Monday, November 20th
  • Pg. 462: 9.54 (also explain why on part a)
  • Pg. 497: 9.94 b-d
14Due: Friday, November 17th
  • Pg. 436: 9.12
  • For the data in 9.45 on pg. 452-453 use SAS to perform a linear regression. Give the estimated regression line, the p-value for testing beta_1 =0, and sigma-hat. Check the assumptions.
13Due: Monday, November 13th
  • Pg. 370: 7.72 a-d
  • Pg. 371: 7.77 using SAS. Remember to state H0 and HA and your conclusion, and check the assumptions
12Due: Monday, October 30th
  • Pg. 337: 7.32
  • Pg. 389: 8.10
  • Sketch an example of a power curve for testing H0: mu=10 vs. HA: mu < 10 for alpha=0.05.
11Due: Friday, October 27th
  • Pg. 326: 7.15 by SAS and hand. State the null and alternate hypothesis and check the assumptions.
  • Pg. 337: 7.30
10Due: Monday, October 23rd
  • Pg. 272-273: 6.3, 6.7
  • Page 279: 6.24 by hand (use the SPSS output) and SAS
  • Pg. 285: 6.34 (because n is so large, you can use z instead of t)
9Due: Friday, October 20th
  • Pg. 257: 5.48
  • Construct a 95% CI for the standard deviation using the data in Pg. 243: 5.26
  • Pg. 279: 6.22
8Due: Friday, October 13th
  • Pg.241: 5.19 (make a table)
  • Pg. 242: 5.22 by hand and SAS. Does the data really seem normal?
  • Pg. 251: 5.32
7Due: Monday, October 9th
  • For n=14 (df=13), use the appropriate tables to find the following:
    a) P(chi2 > 22.3621)
    b) P(chi2 < 24.7356)
    c) P(chi2 > x0) = 0.90
    d) P(t > -2.160)
  • For n=14 (df=13), use the table to bound the following, and SAS to return the exact value:
    e) P(t > 2.5)
    f) P(-2.5 < t < 2.5)

  • Pg. 137: 3.58
3Due: Wednesday, September 13th
