Yep, 7 makes sense with the intercept included.

I practiced a similar question, and I think the total should be 6 parameters, but I might be missing something with the interaction term.

If there are 3 levels for the categorical variable, that means we have 2 dummy variables, right? So that would be 2 plus the continuous variable and the interaction term.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about adding one parameter for each level of the categorical variable minus one.

I think we need to count the intercept, the continuous variable, the levels of the categorical variable, and the interaction term.

I feel confident about this one. The key is that the hospital needs to have no knowledge of a way to re-identify individuals based on the remaining data, not just that they've removed direct identifiers. I'll select the answer that reflects that requirement.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem to cover a range of ethical principles, not just nonmaleficence. I'll need to carefully consider each one to determine which best aligns with that specific principle.

Wait, what was the worksheet name again? I better double-check that before I proceed.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. The PCAP file doesn't seem to have any obvious clues about the application protocol. I'll have to think this through carefully and try to eliminate the wrong answers.
