Fоr eаch оf the fоllowing situаtions, specify which stаtistical procedure would be appropriate and a brief comment justifying your answer. You may choose among any of those we covered this semester. A college student wants to know whether success on the GRE exam relates to acceptance to a particular graduate program. She has data on the GRE math and verbal scores for a sample of graduates who applied to the program and whether or not they were accepted. Suppose the college student in A) is satisfied that GRE relates to acceptance to the graduate program and now wants to determine how well she must do on the GRE to estimate to be accepted. She has the same data as in A). An economist has recorded various indices on prices and the cost of living in a region. In total, he has 20 such variables and suspects that many of them are strongly correlated. He would like to reduce both the number of variables and their correlations. Suppose the same economist in C) above also collects several index variables on wages and working conditions in that area. He now wants to study the relationship between the cost of living indices and the wage indices.
