Ans: Based on formula ,

I set X = hours they study per week, Y = number of credits and then I calculate the correlation coefficient as follows:

Mean of X = 17.526, Mean of Y = 11.763, Mean of XY = 203.263

Mean of X^2 = 397.947, Mean of Y^2 = 146.908

The correlation coefficient = (203.263-17.526*11.763) / [(397.947-17.526^2)*( 146.908-11.763^2)]^(1/2) = -0.10424

 

2a.) Interpret the correlation coefficient from Question 1. (1 point)

From Question 1, I can interpret the correlation coefficient as: The hours they study per week and the number of credits are negatively correlated. if hours study per week increases, the credit they get decreases. But the correlation coefficient is only -0.10424, so the negative relationship is not strong. Assignment #2代写

 

2b.) What is the predicted number of study hours for a person who is registered in 10 credits? (2 points)

As we calculate in question 1, the standard deviation of X = 9.7887 and the standard deviation of Y = 3.001705, so the beta for the regression X against Y = the correlation coefficient * the standard deviation of X / the standard deviation of Y = -0.10424 * 9.7887/3.001705 = -0.33993,

and the intercept of the regression = Mean of X – beta * Mean of Y,

so the intercept = 17.52632 – (-0.33993*11.76316) = 21.52499. Therefore, the regression for the X against Y is: X (study hours) = -0.33993 * Y (credits) + 21.52499, the we substitute Y with 10, we can get expected X = 18.12567

 

2b.) Which observation from Question 1 do you suspect may be an outlier, and why? (this is a theoretical question and no calculation is necessary here, but you are free to do the calculation if it helps you) (1 point) Assignment #2代写

 

I highly suspect the observation with credit = 6 but study hours = 42. If we use the regression in the question 2a, the expected study hours = 6 * -0.33993 + 21.52499 = 19.4854, which is much smaller than 42.

2c.) Plot the data on a scatterplot. From this scatterplot, are there any data points that seem unusual (i.e., may be an outlier), and why? (Note that your answers to 2b and 2c do not have to be the same). (2 points)

Based on this scatterplot, it seems that the data point in the lower right corner and lower left corner are unusual since they are  far away from the other data groups.

 

3a) The distribution of IQ scores for CEGEP graduates is normally distributed with Assignment #2代写

 = 104 and  = 16.  Find the probability a person chosen at random from this group has an IQ score above 146. (2 points)

 

I set the IQ score as X, so the question is asking what is the probability that a person chosen at random from this group has X>146. Prob(X>146) = 1 – prob(X<=146)

And prob(X<=146) = prob( (X-104)/16 <= (146-104)/16)). Then I set Y = (X-104)/16, and Y is standard normal distributed. Therefore, prob(Y<=2.625) = 0.995668,

so the prob(Y>2.625) = 1-0.995668 = 0.004332 = Prob(X>146)

 

3b) From the information in 3a, what IQ score is the 95th percentile of this normal distribution? (2 points)

The 95^th percentile of this normal distribution = 104 + 16*1.645 = 130.317658

 

4) A television set manufacturer has found the length of time until the first repair is normally distributed, Assignment #2代写

with a mean of 4.5 years and a standard deviation of 1.5 years. If the manufacturer wants only 10.2% of the first repairs to occur within the warranty period, how long should the warranty be? (2 points)

In this case, I need to get the left 10.2% quantile which is -1.27024

So the warranty period = -1.27024*1.5 + 4.5 = 2.594644 years

 

5a) Do Americans tend to vote for the taller of the two candidates in a presidential election?

In 30 presidential elections since 1856, 18 of the winners were taller than their opponents. Assume that Americans are not biased by a candidate’s height and that the winner is just as likely to be taller or shorter than his opponent. Find the approximate probability of finding 18 or more of the 30 pairs in which the taller candidate wins. (2 points)

 

I can set the X = finding 18 or more of the 30 pairs in which the taller candidate wins.

Prob(X) = C18 30*0.5^18*0.5^(30-18) +… +C30 30*0.5^30*0.5^(30-30) = 0.180797

 

5b) Based on your answer in 5a, can you conclude that Americans consider a candidate’s height when casting their ballot? (1 point)

 

Since the probability that finding 18 or more of the 30 pairs in which the taller candidate wins is only 0.180797, I conclude that Americans do not consider a candidate’s height when casting their ballot

 

 

6) In a learning experiment, untrained mice are placed in a maze and the time required for each mouse to exit the maze is recorded.

The average time for untrained mice to exit the maze is m = 50 seconds and the standard deviation of their times is s = 16 seconds. Suppose that a sample of 64 randomly selected untrained mice are placed in the maze and the time necessary to exit the maze is recorded for each. What is the probability that the sample mean differs from the population mean by more than 3?(2 points)

I can calculate the Z-value to answer this question and I set sample mean as X hat and population mean as X bar.

In this case, the sample standard deviation = population standard deviation / n^(1/2) = 16/8=2

Prob(X hat lower than X bar by more than 3) = Prob( X hat – X bar<-3) =

Prob((X hat – X bar)/sample standard deviation < -3/sample standard deviation) = Prob(Z< -1.5) = 0.066807

 

Prob(X hat higher than X bar by more than 3) = prob( X hat – X bar>3) =

Prob((X hat – X bar)/standard deviation >3/standard deviation) =

Prob(Z>1.5) = Prob(Z< -1.5) =  0.066807

 

Therefore, the probability that the sample mean differs from the population mean by more than 3 = 2*0.066807 = 0.133614

 

7a) A recent nationwide survey by the Canadian Cancer Society found the percentage of women who smoke has increased to 30%. That seemed a little low for your province, so you sampled 500 women from your province and found that 180 of them smoke. What is the sample proportion of women who smoke in your province?(1 point) Assignment #2代写

 

The sample proportion of women who smoke in my province = 180/500 = 36%

 

7b) What is the probability that at least 36% of women in your province are smokers if the true population proportion p = 0.30?(3 points)

 

The n*p = 500*36% = 180, n*(1-p) = 500*(64%) = 320, since 180 and 320 are all much larger than 10, so I can use the normal approximation here.

, p-hat is the sample proportion, which is 36% in the case.

So the Z-value = (36%-30%)/ [30%*(1-30%)/500]^(1/2) = 2.9277

so the prob(p-hat >=36%) = prob(Z>=2.9277) = 0.001707
