Chapter 8, Problem 7E(choose chapter or problem)
In a study of the lung function of children, the volume of air exhaled under force in one second is called \(\mathrm{FEV}_{1}\). (\(\mathrm{FEV}_{1}\) stands for forced expiratory volume in one second.) Measurements were made on a group of children each year for two years. A linear model was fit to predict this year’s \(\mathrm{FEV}_{1}\) as a function of last year’s \(\mathrm{FEV}_{1}\) (in liters), the child’s gender (0 = Male, 1 = Female), the child’s height (in m), and the ambient atmospheric pressure (in mm). The following MINITAB output presents the results of fitting the model
\(\mathrm{FEV}_{1}=\beta_{0}+\beta_{1} \text { Last } \mathrm{FEV}_{1}+\beta_{2} \text { Gender }+\beta_{3} \text { Height }+\beta_{4} \text { Pressure }+\varepsilon\)
a. Predict the \(\mathrm{FEV}_{1}\) for a boy who is 1.4 m tall, if the measurement was taken at a pressure of 730 mm and last year’s measurement was 2.113 L.
b. If two girls differ in height by 5 cm, by how much would you expect their \(\mathrm{FEV}_{1}\) measurements to differ, other things being equal?
c. The constant term \(\mathrm{FEV}_{1}\) is estimated to be negative. But \(\mathrm{FEV}_{1}\) must always be positive. Is something wrong? Explain.
