[Joint PDFS will be covered in Week 7] Let the random variables X and Y be the portions of the time in a day that two alternative routes between Topkapi and Uskudar have congestion (X for Route 1 and Y for Route 2). The joint PDF is given by fy y(x.y) = 2x +y where 0sx.ys1. (a) Assume g(x) and h(y) are the marginal PDFS of X and Y, respectively. Since fy y (x.y) is not equal to g(x)h(y). it can be concluded that X and Y are not independent. (b) Assume Z =X+Y and W=XY and traffic experts are interested in the expected values of Z and W. E(Z) = and E(W) = (Simplify your answers. Do not convert fractions into decimals.) (c) Find the variances of X and Y as well as the covariance between them. v(X) = V(Y) =D and Cov(X,Y) =D (Simplify your answers. Do not convert fractions into decimals.)

The variance of temperatures (Fahrenheit) in Denver, Colo. is 328.87. What is this variance if temp is re-expressed in Celsius? [Hint: Conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius is a linear transformation: Fahrenheit = Celsius*1.80 + 32, or Celsius = Fahrenheit*(1/1.80) - (32/1.80)]

A company manufactures products in its factory in Turkey for sale in Asia. Products sold in different countries differ in terms of the power outlet as well as the language of the manuals. Currently, the company assembles and packs products for sale in individual countries. The distribution of weekly demand in different countries is normally distributed with means and standard deviations as shown in the table Assume that demand in countries to be independent. Given that the lead time from the Turkey factory is (X/4) weeks, how much safety inventory does the company require in Asia if it targets a CSL level of 95 percent?X= 96 b. The company builds a distribution center in Asia. It will ship base products to this center. When an order is received, the center will assemble power supplies, add manuals, and ship the products to the appropriate country. The base products are still to be manufactured in Turkey with the same lead time. How much saving of safety inventory can the company expect…
A weight-loss program wants to test how well their program is working. The company selects a simple random sample of 51 individual that have been using their program for 15 months. For each individual person, the company records the individual's weight when they started the program 15 months ago as an x-value. The subject's current weight is recorded as a y-value. Therefore, a data point such as (205, 190) would be for a specific person and it would indicate that the individual started the program weighing 205 pounds and currently weighs 190 pounds. In other words, they lost 15 pounds. When the company performed a regression analysis, they found a correlation coefficient of r = 0.707. This clearly shows there is strong correlation, which got the company excited. However, when they showed their data to a statistics professor, the professor pointed out that correlation was not the right tool to show that their program was effective. Correlation will NOT show whether or not there is…

Albumin is a liver protein that helps circulate vitamins throughout the body. Reduced Albumin has been associated with severe illness with Covid-19 patients. Suppose we wanted to conduct a study to compare the mean Albumin concentration (g/L) between a sample of adult patients hospitalized for Covid 19 (Sample Mean= 32.8, s=6.0) to the mean albumin concentration (g/L) of healthy adults (u=34.1, o=7.13). How many patients would need to enroll from the hospital to conduct this study with 99% confidence, and 80% power? A. 267 B. 120 C. 352 D. 225
Consider the following population model for household consumption: cons = a + b1 * inc+ b2 * educ+ b3 * hhsize + u where cons is consumption, inc is income, educ is the education level of household head, hhsize is the size of a household. Suppose a researcher estimates the model and gets the predicted value, cons_hat, and then runs a regression of cons_hat on educ, inc, and hhsize. Which of the following choice is correct and please explain why. A) be certain that R^2 = 1 B) be certain that R^2 = 0 C) be certain that R^2 is less than 1 but greater than 0. D) not be certain
