Actuary Tong has to study for two actuarial exams: Exam P and Exam FM. The amount of study time that Actuary Tong will spend on each exam in a day follows a continuous random variable that ranges from o to i hour. The amount of study time that Actuary Tong spends on both exams in a day has a joint density function that is equal to the sum of the study times that Actuary Tong spends on each exam in a day. Caleulate the probability Actuary Tong spends at least half an hour in a day studying for exactly one of the exams. A 0.45 0.50 0.55 0.60 0.65

The mortality rate from melanoma (skin cancer) during the 1950s was recorded for each of the 48 contiguous United States, plus Washington, D.C. (as reported by Fisher and Van Belle (1993) and found at http://www.stat.psu.edu/~lsimon/stat501wc/sp05/data/ The following is the scatterplot of the data: Mortality per 10 million 225 200 175 150 125 100- 30 35 Scatter plot 40 Latitude r=-.83 45 50 The plot shows a negative linear relationship between the latitude of the state and melanoma mortality rate. Which of the following is an appropriate interpretation of the negative relationship shown in the scatterplot above? A. O The more southern the state, the more people that died of melanoma. B. O The more southern the state, the higher the melanoma death rate. C. The more northern the state, the higher the melanoma death rate.
The human body is a complex, highly organized structure of cells that work together to accomplish the specific functions necessary for sustaining life. Each human has individual characteristics that uniquely define who they are, but there are characteristics about the human body that have much less variability. One of these is the measurement around the calf muscle's widest part. For this dataset, N = 507 individuals in their twenties and thirties who exercised several hours each week measured around the widest part of both calf muscles and the average maximum girth in centimeters was recorded. We will use this data to get better acquainted with the Empirical Rule. Empirical Rule 68% of data 95% of data 99.7% of data -30 -20 -1o +1o 20 +30 For data that can be reasonably assumed to follow a normal distribution with mean u and standard deviation a, the Empirical Rule can be used to get a sense of where the data values are located in the distribution with regards to the mean.

Let yit denote the outcome of a random variable for the i-th individual at time and let Xit denote a covariate measure on the i-th individual at time t, t, i = 1, ..., n, t = 1,..., T. The data could be modeled using the simple linear regression model: Yit = Bo + B₁xt + Eit, Eit~N(0, t) a) Explain why using this approach may be inappropriate. b) Write a mathematical expression of the random intercept model and the random coefficients models as alternatives to this model. c) Provide an expression for the proportion of variance attributable to each of the variance components in the random coefficients models. d) Write out an expression for the likelihood, priors and posterior for the model in part (c) e) Write out a WinBUGS code for this problem.
The U.S. Geological Survey compiled historical data about Old Faithful Geyser (Yellowstone National Park) from 1870 to 1987. Let x1 be a random variable that represents the time interval (in minutes) between Old Faithful eruptions for the years 1948 to 1952. Based on 9140 observations, the sample mean interval was x1 = 61.4 minutes.
