(06.06 MC)  Monthly private school tuition based on the average number of weeks in attendance is predicted using the least-square regression line, ŷ = 265.9 + 93.4x, where ŷ represents the predicted monthly expense and x represents the average number of weeks in attendance. A child attends private school an average of 3.5 weeks and has a monthly cost of $595. What is the residual for the child? (3 points)

(06.07 LC)  The mean and standard deviation for number of robberies in the U.S. from 2000 to 2015 are x̄ = 354,718 and sx = 28,803. The mean and standard deviation for number of assaults in the U.S. for the same time period are ȳ = 774,140 and sy = 44,910. The correlation coefficient is r = 0.84. Find the equation for the least-squares regression line for number of assaults compared with number of robberies. (4 points)

(05.01 LC)  Tiara, a quality assurance inspector at a chocolate factory, checks for product quality using a random sample of 18 pieces of chocolate from a batch of 60, with 17 white chocolates and 43 dark chocolates. Let p̂ be the proportion of white chocolates in the sample. Part A: Is the 10% condition met in this case? Justify your answer. (5 points) Part B: Is the Normal condition met in this case? Justify your answer. (5 points) (10 points)

(05.04 MC)  Two opposing opinions were shown to a random sample of 1,744 US buyers of a particular political news app. The opinions, shown in a random order to each buyer, were as follows:Opinion A: Prescription drug regulation is more important than border security.Opinion B: Border security is more important than prescription drug regulation. Buyers were to choose the opinion that most closely reflected their own. If they felt neutral on the topics, they were to choose a third option of “Neutral.”The outcomes were as follows:30% chose Opinion A, 64% chose Opinion B, and 6% chose “Neutral.”Part A: Create and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all US buyers who would have chosen Opinion A. (5 points)Part B: The number of buyers that chose Opinion A and the number of buyers that did not choose Opinion A are both greater than 10. Why must this inference condition be met?

(05.04 MC)  A researcher has conducted a survey using a simple random sample of 500 golf club members to create a confidence interval to estimate the proportion of golf club members favoring a 1% annual increase in dues to remodel the clubhouse. Assume that the sample proportion does not change. The researcher now decides to survey a random sample of 125 people instead of 500 golf club members. Which of the following statements best describes how the confidence interval is affected by this change? (3 points)
