In April 2011, an earthquake of magnitude 9+ struck Fukushima, Japan, causing catastrophic damage. Find a 90% confidence interval for the expected time E until the next earthquake somewhere in the world that is as severe as that one, using only the fact that there have been no such events in the past ten years. To do this, once again we need to make an assumption. The most neutral approach is to presume that such events behave as a Poisson process, occurring at random times independent of each other, with a constant underlying probability of an event at any given moment. Take the units of time, conveniently, to be decades. Let X be the number of such events in the past decade; by our assumption, X~ Poisson(2). Also, the times between the events of a Poisson process are exponentially distributed with parameter 2 (that is, f1) = de¯ª for t> 0.) (a) Find P(X=0) (since there have been no earthquakes that severe in the past decade) in terms of å. (b) Using your answer to (a) in the manner of a pivotal quantity, solve .05 < P(X=0)<.95 to obtain a 90% confidence interval for 2.

Please do not give solution in image format thanku Newborn babies are more likely to be boys than girls. A random sample found 13,173 boys were born among 25,468 newborn children. The sample proportion of boys was 0.5172. Is this sample evidence that the birth of boys is more common than the birth of girls in the entire population?

If there is someone that can please assist me! I have posted this statistics question 3 times and they keep saying it is a writing assignment. THIS QUESTION IS NOT A WRITING ASSIGNMENT. It is a STATISITCS problem. i am stuck and confused and just needing to see how you solve this! if you do not know how to do it then please leave it for someone else but this is NOT a writing assignment! i will also be glad to rate your work!
Hi there, I hope you’re well. We have a research report/proposal due for Statistics next month. We were told to gather data on anything related to schools, learners or teachers. I have chosen to gather data on academic achievement and sports participation. I am interested in the difference between a learners academic achievement and whether he/she takes part in sports or not. I received data from the school which I put into a table. It is the academic term average for those who do sports and those who do not. We are now required to carry out two tests along with graphs etc. I have done the t-test and am happy with the results. I would like to do a chi-square test as my second test, but I am completely lost. I have my raw data (please see attached) but I am struggling to move forward. I need to find out what the observed and expected data is (from my raw data) and carry out the test. Please could you assist me. I would really love to do well in this course, but it is not my strongest…
