A local parent group was concerned with the increasing cost of school for families with school aged children.The parent group was interested in understanding the relationship between the academic grade level for the child and the total costs spent per child per academic year.They performed a multiple regression analysis using total cost as the dependent variable and academic year (x1)as the independent variables.The multiple regression analysis produced the following tables. Coefficients Stardard Error t Statistic p -value Intercept 707.9144 435.1183 1.626947 0.114567 2.903307 81.62802 0.035568 0.971871 11.91297 3.806211 3.129878 0.003967 df Ss Ms F p -value Regression 2 32055153 16027577 47.34557 1.49-09 Residual 27 9140128 338523.3 Total 29 41195281 For a child in grade 5 (x1= 5), the predicted value of y is ____________.

A research project was conducted to study the effect of a chemical on undesired insects.The researcher uses 6 dose levels, and at each level exposes 250 insects to the chemical and proceeds to count the number of insects that die.The researcher uses a binary logistic regression model to estimate the probability of death as a function of dose. Shown below is Minitab output from a logistic regression. Coefficients Term Coef SE Coef 95\% CI Z-Value P-Value VIF Constant -2.644 0.156 (-2.950,-2.338) -16.94 0.000 Dose 0.6740 0.0391 (0.5973,0.7506) 17.23 0.000 1.00 Odd Ratios for Continuous Predictors Odds Ratio 95\% Dose 1.9621(1.8173,2.1184) The predicted probability that an insect will die when exposed to the first dose is ____.
