Quantitative Reasoning Outcomes Assessment Although more and more women are becoming physicians each year, it is well known that men outnumber women in many specialties. Randomly selected specialties are listed below with the numbers of male and female physicians in each. Specialty Female Male 3482 6506 Dermatology Emergency medicine 5098 20429 Neurology Radiology Pediatrics Ob/Gynecology3470 2135 Su 2895 10088 1218 7574 5200 4280 2800 4030 Suppose we would like to predict the number of male specialists from number of female specialists with the specialty data provided in the table. Answer each of the following questions: (a) Identify the explanatory and response variables. [1 point] (b) Assume the relationship between the two variables is linear, compute the linear correlation coefficient, r. [1 point] (Obtain r from the TI calculator, you are not required to show work here.) (c) Fit a regression/predictive model to the data (Express it as an equation with the "Number of male specialists" and "Number of female specialists" as the names of the variables in the equation.) f r predicting the number of male specialists from number of female specialists. [I point] (No need to show work.)Explanation / Answer
