Consider taking samples of size 100 from a population with
proportion 0.33. Find the mean of the distribution of sample
proportions.
0.33
Question 2 of 14
Fluoride and IQ Exercise 2.250 introduces a study examining the association
between fluoride exposure in pregnant women and subsequent IQ scores of
their children.
Fluoride is often added to drinking water to prevent tooth decay, but the
study found that higher maternal fluoride levels were associated with lower
IQ scores in children. The regression analysis was done separately for boys
and girls, and in each case, the article reports both the 95% confidence
interval for the slope and the p-value for testing the slope. The two p-values
are 0.33 and 0.02. Match the p-values with the confidence intervals:
(a) 95% CI for slope for boys: -8.38 to -0.60 0.02
(b) 95% CI for slope for girls: -2.51 to 7.36 0.33
Question 3 of 14
Alkalinity in Lakes as a Predictor of Mercury in Fish
The FloridaLakes dataset includes data on 53 lakes in Florida. A scatterplot
of Alkalinity (concentration of calcium carbonate in mg/L) and AvgMercury
(average mercury level for a sample of fish from each lake) is shown below.

, Judging from the scatterplot, should we have any concerns about fitting this
data to a linear model?
Yes
