Jaden throws darts at circular target of radius r and is equally likely to hit any point in the target. Let R be the distance of Jaden’s hit from the center. (a) Find the variance of R. (b) Suppose that the target has an inner circle of radius t. If R ≤ t, Jaden gets a score of S = 1/R. Otherwise, his score is S = 0. Find the c.d.f. of S.

The built-in data set, rock, is a data frame recording the measurements of rock sample from a petroleum reservoir. We are interested in the area column of rock. Using R we can convert this column into the vector x by the assignment x<-rock$shape. Assume that the n area measurements x=(x1, x2,...,xn) are a random sample from a population with true unknown mean ? and true unknown variance ?2. Remember, let x be defined by x<-rock$shape.
Executives of a supermarket chain are interested in the amount of time that customers spend in the stores during shopping trips. The mean shipping time, μ, spent by customers at the supermarkets has been reported to be 40 minutes, but executives hire a statistical consultant and ask her to determine whether it can be concluded that μ is less than 40 minutes. To perform her statistical test, the consultant collects a random sample of shopping times at the supermarkets. She computes the mean of these times to be 34 minutes and the standard deviation of the times to be 16 minutes. Based on the information, answer the questions below.
With unit variance; the random variable Y is related to the random variable X by a linear relationship. A. Calculate the minimum error power when X and Y are fully correlated. B. Calculate the minimum error power when X and Y are not related at all.
Travis does research with a marine biology research team. His job is to catch lobsters, weigh them, tag them, and return them to the water. Over the years, the team has determined that the average weight in pounds of the lobsters caught at a particular location was µ = 2.1 lbs. with a σ of 1.8 lbs. As part of an annual survey, Travis catches 27 lobsters with a mean of 3.1 lbs. Is he correct in assuming that the lobsters he caught are significantly heavier that those usually found in that location? Please use α = .05 and a two-tailed test.

A variable of two populations has a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 18 for one of the populations and a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 32 for the other population. Complete parts (a) through (c). a. For independent samples of size 9 and 16, respectively, find the mean and standard deviation of X₁ -X₂. (Assume that the sampling is done with replacement or that the population is large enough.) The mean of X₁ -X₂ is. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) The standard deviation of X₁-X₂ is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. Must the variable under consideration be normally distributed on each of the two populations for you to answer part (a)? Choose the correct answer below. OA. No, the variable does not need to be normally distributed for the formulas for the mean and standard deviation of x₁-x₂ to hold as long as the sample sizes are large enough, as long as the sampling is done with replacement. B. No, the formulas for the mean and standard deviation of…
The built-in data set, rock, is a data frame recording the measurements of rock sample from a petroleum reservoir. We are interested in the area column of rock. Using R we can convert this column into the vector x by the assignment x30 we can create a confidence interval for μ using a normal critical value. If we want the confidence interval to be at the 94% level and we use a normal critical value, then what critical value should we use? i) Calculate a 94% confidence interval(using a normal critical value) for μ.

Suppose that y, is an independent response variable (i = 1.....n) with mean, such that g(i) = n₁ = X₁B, where g(.) is a link function, X, is a vector of covariates and 3 is a px 1 vector of coefficients. Let the variance of y; be Var (Y) = V(i), where V(.) is a known function and is a scale parameter.
