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?

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 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 600 subscribers. The results indicate that 131 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. Question content area bottom Part 1 a. At the 0.01 level of significance, is there evidence that more than 20% of the customers would upgrade to a new cellphone at a reduced cost?

In laboratories where clinical tests are carried out, two types of test are available for the detection of a highly contagious virus. The Type A test is very fast and inexpensive while the Type B test is a test that requires more time to obtain a diagnosis and is more expensive. It is known that the economic test. Type A, generates correct diagnosis (C) in 60% of cases. While the Type B test provides the correct diagnosis (C) in 99% of cases. If after six months of quarantine due to this virus the health secretary realizes that 80% of the tests carried out in the state correspond to Type A economic tests and only 20% were Type B. If it is known that a test made an incorrect diagnosis. What is the probability that the Type A economic test did? .9937 .24844 .322 .6211 .3788

Suppose John is a high school statistics teacher who believes that watching many hours of TV leads to lower test scores. Immediately after giving the most recent test, he surveyed each of the 24 students in his class and asked them how many hours of TV they watched that week. He then matched each student's test grade with his or her survey response. After compiling the data, he used hours of TV watched to predict each student's test score. He found the least-squares regression line to be ?̂ =−1.5?+85y^=−1.5x+85. He also calculated that the value of ?r, the correlation coefficient, was −0.61. Which of the choices identifies the correct value of the coefficient of determination, ?2R2, and gives a correct interpretation of its meaning?
