Simple regression was employed to establish the effects of childhood exposure to lead. THe effective sample size was about 122 subjects. THe independent variable was the level of dentin lead (parts per million). Below are regressions using various dependent variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple regression was employed to establish the effects of childhood exposure to lead. THe effective sample size was about 122 subjects. THe independent variable was the level of dentin lead (parts per million). Below are regressions using various dependent variables.

Calculate the t statistic for each slope, at significance level = 0.01.

Dependent Variable R2 Estimated Std. t calculated p-value Differ from 0?

answer:

(-8,7)

explanation:

we know that  

f

(

−

3

)

=

7

therefore, if we wish to get the output as 7, in the function, we need to have our input to be -3.

looking at the function  

f

(

x

+

5

)

, what should the value of x be, such that the input in the function becomes 7?

we simply equate the terms,

x

+

5

=

−

3

x

=

−

8

thus, the point on the new function would be  

(

−

8

,

7

)

the answer is c. 23/3
