In the summer of 2011, the Chicago libraries recorded the number of participants per branch of the library versus the number of books read from that branch.  They wanted to predict the number of books read at each branch based on the number of participants in the summer program.  The least squares regression equation was  books read = -657.0 +24.74 participants For one branch of the library the number of participants was 286. The number of books read was 5409.  Find the residual.

Tests for allergies can be done in multiple ways. One way is through a blood test. ImmunoCAP is one of such tests. About 0.5% of adults have tree nut allergies at some level of severity. The test correctly identifies 94% of the time adults with a tree nut allergy and correctly identifies those without tree nut allergies 93% of the time.   What is the probability of an adult having a tree nut allergy and the test being positive?

Gallup just released an article entitled U.S. Economic Confidence Declines After Stock Market Dip by Rebecca Riffkin. Below is a quote from that article. “The Gallup Economic Confidence Index is the average of two components: Americans’ views on the current economic situation and their economic outlook. In polling for the entire week, which ended Jan. 26, 38% of Americans polled thought current economic conditions were “poor” and 19% thought they were “excellent” or “good,” for a net current conditions index of -19.” What aspect of statistics is this describing?
