EXERCISE 27 Questions to be Graded

• 1. What are the independent and dependent variables in Figures 2, A, B, and C? How would you describe the relationship between the variables in Figures 2, A, B, and C?
• 2. What are the independent and dependent variables in Figures 3, A, B, and C? How would you describe the relationship between the variables in Figures 3, A, B, and C?
• 3. Was there a significant difference in the y intercept for the lines of best fit in Figure 2 from the y intercept for the lines of best fit in Figure 3? Provide a rationale for your answer.
• 4. Ŷ represents the predicted value of y calculated using the equation Ŷ = a + bx. In Figure 2, the formula for SBP is Ŷ = 43.2 + 0.17x. Identify the y intercept and the slope in this formula. What does x represent in this formula?
• 5. In the legend beneath Figure 2, the authors give an equation indicating that systolic blood pressure is SBP = 43.2 + 0.17x. If the value of x is postnatal age of 30 hours, what is the value for Ŷ or SBP for neonates ≤1,000 grams? Show your calculations.
• 6. In the legend beneath Figure 2, the authors give an equation indicating that systolic blood pressure is SBP = 50.3 + 0.12x. If the value of x is postnatal age of 30 hours, what is the value for Ŷ or SBP for neonates 1,001–1,500 grams? Show your calculations.
• 7. Compare the SBP readings you found in Questions 5 and 6. Explain the difference in these two readings.
• 8. In the legend beneath Figure 2, the authors give an equation indicating that diastolic blood pressure is DBP = 25.8 + 0.13x. If the value of x is postnatal age of 30 hours, what is the value for Ŷ for neonates ≤ 1,000 grams? Show your calculations.
• 9. In the legend beneath Figure 3, the authors give an equation indicating that diastolic blood pressure is DBP = 30.4 + 0.11x. If the value of x is postnatal age of 30 hours, what is the value for Ŷ for neonates 1,001–1,500 grams? Show your calculations.
• 10. In the legend beneath Figure 3, the authors give an equation indicating that diastolic blood pressure is DBP = 30.4 + 0.11x. How different is the DBP when the value of x is postnatal age of 60 hours versus the 30 hours examined in Question 9?
