If we were to add another quantitative variable to help you predict weight, what variable would you suggest? Explain your reasoning for your choice.

Discussion Essay

For this assignment you will be using the given data for a sample of 30 inmates of the Polk County Jail.
1. Use a Simple Linear Regression to find the regression equation that predicts weight (lbs) from height (inches). Note, “weight” will be the dependent variable (y) and “height” will be the independent variable (x). Round slope and intercept to the nearest hundredth. (2 pts)

2. Perform a t-Test for the regression slope of the data to determine if the data fits a linear model using alpha = 0.05. Include each of the following.
a. Check the conditions and assumptions for this test. Explain your reasoning.(2 pts)
b. Write your null and alternative hypotheses.(2 pts)
c. List the test statistic and P-value. (2 pts)
d. Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null and state your conclusion. (2 pts)

3. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of an inmate who is 6 feet tall (72 inches). Explain in this context what the confidence interval tells us. (2 pts)

4. Consider a person who is 65 inches tall and weighs 200 lbs.
a. Use your regression equation from Question 1 to find the residual. (Show your work.). Would you consider this person to have a large residual? (2 pts)
b. Does this person have high leverage? Why or why not? (2 pts)
c. Is this an influential point? Why or why not? (2 pts)

5. If we were to add another quantitative variable to help you predict weight, what variable would you suggest? Explain your reasoning for your choice. (2 pts)

Calculate the rate of growth of the exchange rates between two currencies using exchange rate data on your selected countries. Before doing so, please answer the following question. What is the rate of growth and which formula is used to calculate it?

Discussion Essay

Task One

Calculate the rate of growth of the exchange rates between two currencies using exchange rate data on your selected countries. Before doing so, please answer the following question.

What is the rate of growth and which formula is used to calculate it?

Display the rates of growth of the exchange rates between the two currencies of your selected countries in Excel or SPSS or Tableau chart/graph over the period 1999-2020.

Task Two

Calculate the inflation rates in each of your two selected countries using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the 2020 WDI data. Remember the inflation rate is the rate of growth of the CPI.

Display the inflation rates of your selected countries in Excel or SPSS or Tableau chart/graph over the period 1999-2020. Then answer the following question.

Which of your two selected countries has the higher rate of inflation based on the CPI?

Task Three

Calculate the inflation rates in each of your two selected countries using the GDP Deflator from the 2020 WDI data. Remember the inflation rate is the rate of growth of the GDP Deflator.

Display the inflation rates of your selected countries in Excel or SPSS or Tableau chart/graph over the period 1999-2020. Then answer the following question.

Which of your two selected countries has the higher rate of inflation based on the GDP Deflator?

Task Four

Calculate the difference between your two selected countries CPI based inflation rate. This difference is the predicted rates of growth of the exchange rate over the period 1999-2020.

Also, calculate the difference between your two selected countries GDP Deflator based inflation rate. These differentials are also known as the predicted rates of growth of the exchange rate over the period 1999-2020.

Display the predicted rates of growth of the exchange rate of currencies of your selected countries (from both the CPI and the GDP Deflator) in Excel or SPSS or Tableau chart/graph over the period 1999-2020. Then answer the following question.

Are there any substantial differences in the predicted rates of growth of the exchange rates of currencies of your selected countries over 1999-2020 from the two indicators (CPI and GDP Deflator)?

Task Five

Display the actual and predicted rates of growth of the exchange rate of currencies of your selected countries (calculated in Task One and in Task Four) in Excel or SPSS or Tableau chart/graph over the period 1999-2020. Then answer the following question.

Is the PPP a theory of the exchange rate determination in the long run based on the CPI? (Hints: You should compare the actual rates of growth of the exchange rates of currencies of your selected countries to the predicted rates of growth of the exchange rates of currencies of your selected countries based on the CPI).

Is the PPP a theory of the exchange rate determination in the long run based on the GDP Deflator?
