1. What is your guess on the value of p? 2. In Maximum Likelihood Estimation, we want to find a parameter p which maximizes all the observations in the dataset. If the dataset is a matrix A, where each row a1, a2,,am are individual observations, we want to maximize P(A) = P(a₁)P(a₂) P(am) because individ- ual experiments are independent. Maximizing this is equivalent to maximizing log P(A) = log P(a₁)+log P(a₂)+…+log P(am). Maximizing this quantity is equivalent to minimizing the -log P(A) = -log P(a₁) - log P(a₂)log P(am). 3. Here you need to find out P(ai) for yourself. 4. If you can do that properly, you will find an equation of the form: Now, define q = m mn -log P(A) mn Σi=121 mn log p Σ=1 yi mn log (1 - p) Then the equation becomes: -log P(A) -q logp (1-q) log (1 − p) mn Use Pinsker's Inequality or Calculus to show that, p = q. 5. What is the value of p for the above dataset given in the table? 6. If you toss 20 coins now, how many coins are most likely to yield a head?

In the Chernobyl nuclear accident it is estimated that 30,000 people received an average dose of 45 REM. For this population, using the linear hypothesis, how many "normal" deaths from cancer are expected and how many additional deaths from the radiation of the accident? Group of answer choices 500 normal, 6000 additional 1000 normal, 4000 additional 2000 normal, 3000 additional 4000 normal, 1000 additional 6000 normal, 500 additional
Suppose when you add flexibility to your model by adding higher-order terms or more predictor variables that you begin to see the test or validation error (MSE or SSE evaluated on the test or validation set) begin to increase away from the training error. What kind of a problem are your models experiencing?

section 5.4 Drug usage in the workplace costs employers incredible amounts of money each year. Drug testing potential employees have become so prevalent that drug users are finding it extremely hard to find jobs. Drug tests, however, are not completely reliable. To decrease the likelihood of making an error, all potential employees are screened through two tests, which are independent. One test has a 96% accuracy and the other has a 97% accuracy. Step 1 of 2 : If a person were drug free, what is the probability they would fail both tests? Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.
You are tasked to design a prevention program to target one of two different infectious diseases. You only have funding to target one of them, so you must choose wisely. The first infectious disease (Disease A) has a case fatality rate of close to 75%, but a very low cause-specific mortality rate. The other (Disease B) has a case fatality rate less than 0.1%, but a relatively high cause-specific mortality rate. Which do you choose? Why
The Harriet Hotel in downtown Boston has 100 rooms that rent for $150 per night. It costs the hotel $30 per room in variable costs (cleaning, bathroom items, etc.) each night a room is occupied. For each reservation accepted, there is a 5% chance that the guest will not arrive. If the hotel overbooks, it costs $200 to compensate guests whose reservations cannot be honored. How many reservations should the hotel accept if it wants to maximize the average daily profit?

a. Develop the least squares estimated regression equation that relates labor hours to house square footage and type of flooring. b. Use the regression equation developed in part (a) to predict labor hours when the house size is 3350 square feet and the type of flooring is wood.
A police academy has just brought in a batch of new recruits. All recruits are given an aptitude test and a fitness test. Suppose a researcher wants to know if there is a significant difference in aptitude scores based on a recruits’ fitness level. Recruits are ranked on a scale of 1 – 3 for fitness (1 = lowest fitness category, 3 = highest fitness category). Using “ApScore” as your dependent variable and “FitGroup” as your independent variable, conduct a One-Way, Between Subjects, ANOVA, at α = 0.05, to see if there is a significant difference on the aptitude test between fitness groups. Identify the correct symbolic notation for the alternative hypothesis. A. H0: µ1 = µ2 B. HA: µ1 ≠ µ2 ≠ µ3 C. H0: µ1 = µ2 = µ3 D. HA: µ1 ≠ µ2

A cellphone provider has the business objective of wanting to determine the proportion of subscribers who would upgrade to a new cellphone with improved features if it were made available at a substantially reduced cost. Data are collected from a random sample of 500 subscribers. The results indicate that 123 of the subscribers would upgrade to a new cellphone at a reduced cost. Reducing the price will be profitable if at least 20% of the subscribers would upgrade. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that more than 20% of the customers would upgrade to a new cellphone at a reduced cost? Determine the null hypothesis, Ho, and the alternative hypothesis, H₁ . ▶
