The data below is from a random sample of married women drawn from the population of an urban area in a less-developed country. This data has two variables; 'a' is the age at which each woman was married for the first time, 'b’ is whether or not at least one of their parents had a secondary or higher education (0=no, 1=yes). 1) Estimate the sample mean, variance, standard deviation, and standard error for age at first marriage for the entire population. Calculate the 95% confidence interval around this estimate and interpret. 2) Repeat the analysis from 1) above for each parental education group (*b’) separately. Do the confidence intervals overlap? 3) We hypothesize that children of more educated parents will marry later than children of less well educated parents. Perform a two-sample t-test of this hypothesis, using the folowing formula (the standard error for a two sample t-test combines the standard errors of each group) and interpret your result. Group l' will be those whose…

Assume a data set D is observed by three models M₁, M2, and M3 which all follow a normal distribution with the variance 4. The differences between the models are in their means of the distri- bution which are 2, 4, and 8; respectively. Furthermore, assume that from prior knowledge we believe p(M₁) = 0.3, p(M₂) = 0.4 and p(M3) = 0.3. Given a data point x = 3.1 which model has a higher accuracy (or probability to be correct)?
