1. Consider a sample of data S = where 0 denotes that the coin turned up heads and1 denotes that it turned {1,1,0, 1,0} created by flipping a coin x five times, up tails. (a) What is the sample mean for this data? (b) What is the sample variance for this data? (c) What is the probability of observing this data, assuming it was generated by flipping a coin with an equal probability of heads and tails (i.e. the probability distribution is p(x= 1) = 0.5, p(x = 0) = 0.5).

The aim of a study is to test the ratio of variances in the weight of two groups of rats being under a certain drugs A ( group 1) and B ( group 2) . A random sample of 16 rats was selected from group land 13 rats from group 2, Then their weight were recorded.

In a packing plant, a machine packs cartons with jars. It is supposed that a new machine will pack faster on the average than the machine currently used. New machine: X1 bar = 40.12, s1 = 0.656, nl = 12 Old machine: X2 bar = 43.54, s2 = 0.760, n2 = 12 These are independent samples. Find the pooled variance?

Suppose we flip three fair coins. Let X = number of Heads.(a) Calculate the variance of X directly by using ONLY the PMF for X and theformula for variance (b) Calculate the variance again, but this time, use some of the tools from thebottom of page 9 (split X into 3 Bernoulli r.v.s).(c) Let Y = three times the Bernoulli r.v. for the first coin. Calculate Var(Y ).(d) Explain why your answer to Part C is different from Parts A and B.
3a) The mean IQ of 200 patients in a psychiatric hospital is 91, with a variance of 16, and the distribution is highly negatively skewed. Between what two IQ scores would we expect to find at least 160 of the patients falling? b) If the distribution was mound-shaped and symmetrical, with the same mean and standard deviation as in part A, approximately how many patients would have IQ scores at or below the 5th percentile or above a score of 97? Answers: a) 82 to 100 b) 28.5 or 29
