A study of the top MBA programs attempted to predict the average starting salary (in $1000's) of graduates of the program based on the amount of tuition (in $1000's) charged by the program and the average GMAT score of the program's students. The results of a regression analysis based on a sample of 75 MBA programs is shown below:

Least Squares Linear Regression of Salary

Predictor
Variables Coefficient Std Error T P VIF
Constant -203.402 51.6573 -3.94 0.0002 0.0
Gmat 0.39412 0.09039 4.36 0.0000 2.0
Tuition 0.92012 0.17875 5.15 0.0000 2.0

The model was then used to create 95% confidence and prediction intervals for y and for E(Y) when the tuition charged by the MBA program was $75,000 and the GMAT score was 675. The results are shown here:

95% confidence interval for E(Y): ($126,610, $136,640)
95% prediction interval for Y: ($90,113, $173,160)

Which of the following interpretations is correct if you want to use the model to estimate Y for a single MBA program?
◦ We are 95% confident that the average of all starting salaries for graduates of all MBA programs that charge $75,000 in tuition and have an average GMAT score of 675 will fall between $90,113 and $173,16,30.
◦ We are 95% confident that the average starting salary for graduates of a single MBA program that charges $75,000 in tuition and has an average GMAT score of 675 will fall between $126,610 and $136,640.
◦ We are 95% confident that the average starting salary for graduates of a single MBA program that charges $75,000 in tuition and has an average GMAT score of 675  will fall between $90,113 and $173,16,30.
◦ We are 95% confident that the average of all starting salaries for graduates of all MBA programs that charge $75,000 in tuition and have an average GMAT score of 675 will fall between $126,610 and $136,640.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
