psychology

''This young woman had lost all her brothers and sisters, parents and grandparents in a gas chamber. She was the last one they tried to squash in, and there wasn't room for one more person, so they pulled her out. What she didn't understand was that she had already been crossed off the list of the Jiving. They never got bock to her. She spent the rest of the war years in this concentration comp swearing that she would stay alive to tell the world about all the atrocities that she witnessed. When the people came to liberate the camp, she said to herself, "oh my God, if I spend the rest of my life telling about all these horrible things, I would not be any better than Hitler himself. I would plane seeds of hate and negativity.'' -from on interview with Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, 1995. How do you think the woman's experiences changed her attitudes about her own death?

question

A medium-sized automobile insurance company is interested in developing a regression model to help predict the monthly collision claims of its policyholders. A company analyst has proposed modeling monthly collision claims $(y)$ in the Middle Atlantic states as a function of the percentage of claims by drivers under age $30\left(x_{1}\right)$ and the average daily temperature during the month $\left(x_{2}\right)$ . She believes that as the percentage of claims by drivers under age 30 increases, claims will rise because younger drivers are usually involved in more severe accidents than older drivers. She also believes shares will rise as the average daily temperature decreases because lower temperatures are associated with icy, hazardous driving conditions. To develop a preliminary model, data were collected for the state of New Jersey over a 3-year period. (The first and last five observations are listed in the table below.) The data are saved in the file.
