Using the method of ordinate fit a normal curve to the following data : 20-30 | 30-40 40-50 50-60 60– 70 70-80 10-20 | 20– 30 | 30-40 40-50 50-60 Class values : Frequency: 12 28 40 60 32 20 8.
2.2 In a population, the correlation coefficient between family income and child IQ is 0.30. The mean family income was $60,000. The standard deviation in income is $20,000. IQ is measured on a scale such that the mean is 100, and the standard deviation is 15. (a) Using this information, predict the expected IQ of a child whose family income is $70,000 (b) How reliable do you expect this prediction to be? Why? (your answer should be a property of correlation, not an opinion about IQ) (c) The family income now rises-does the correlation predict that the child will have a higher IQ? Why?
Which of the following statements correctly explains what happens to the variability of a t-distribution as the sample size increases? The variability of the t-distribution decreases as the sample size increases because the sample standard deviation approaches the population A standard deviation. The variability of the t-distribution increases as the sample size increases because the sample standard deviation approaches the population standard deviation. The variability of the t-distribution increases as the sample size increases because the mean of the distribution increases. The variability of the t-distribution decreases as the sample size increases because the mean of the distribution decreases. The variability of the t-distribution remains constant as the sample size increases because the t-statistic is defined by the sample standard E deviation.

Pax World Balanced is a highly respected, socially responsible mutual fund of stocks and bonds. Vanguard Balanced Index is another highly regarded fund that represents the entire U.S. stock and bond market (an index fund). The mean and standard deviation of annualized percent returns are shown below. The annualized mean and standard deviation are for a recent 10-years period.†. If x represents return and s represents risk, then explain why the coefficient of variation can be taken to represent risk per unit of return. From this point of view, which fund appears to be better? Explain. A. Since the CV is s/s2 we can say that the CV represents the risk per unit of return; the Pax fund appears to be better because the CV is smaller. B. Since the CV is s/s2 we can say that the CV represents the risk per unit of return; the Vanguard fund appears to be better because the CV is smaller. C. Since the CV is s/x we can say that the CV represents the risk per unit of return; the Pax fund…
Scenario: You would like to classify buying habits among individuals in your research by gender (M/F), and community (metro, suburban, rural) in order to identify dependencies among these categories. What research analysis is appropriate here? Group of answer choices a. ANOVA b. Binary Logistic Regression c. Chi-square Contingency Table d. Non-parametric e. Regression
What happens when you overfit a regression model? Question 25 options: The model captures too much of the random variation in the sample data and fails to predict accurately for the population. The p-value for the F-test of overall significance is greater than 0.05. So many variables are added to the model that the Adjusted {"version":"1.1","math":"<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><msup><mi>R</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></math>"} value exceeds 1 None of the relationships in the model are found to be statistically significant.
ats 2. In the mid-19th century, Sir Francis Galton demonstrated, through extensive data collection, that many human characteristics such as height and IQ are distributed throughout the entire population in accordance with the normal distribution. Galton recorded the heights of 8585 men in Great Britain. This forms a normal distribution with a mean of 67 inches and standard deviation of 2.5 inches. (a) Graph this normal distribution and label the x-axis. (b) What proportion of these men were between 66 and 68 inches tall? belool vin (c) What fraction of the adult male population in Great Britain was within one standard deviation of the mean height? [Use the normal distribution function in Excel, not the Empirical Rule] (d) What height corresponds to the 95th percentile in the Galton study?
A Scenario: Jimmy store sells large tins of Tom Tucker Coffee. The deli uses a periodic review system. Inventory is checked every 10 days which more orders are needed for tins. Order lead time is 3 days. Average demand is 7 tins, so average demand during the reorder period and order lead time (13) is 91 tins. Standard deviation of demand during the same 13 day period is 17 tins.1. Calculate the restocking level ( Assume the desired level is 90%)2. Suppose standard deviation of demand during the 13-day period drops to 4 tins. What happened to restocking level? Explain why?3. Draw a saw-tooth diagram. Beginning inventory level is equal to restocking level and the demand rate is a constant 7 tins per day. What is the safety stock level? What is the average inventory level?
