Suppose model (XY, XZ, YZ) holds in a 2 x 2 x 2 table, and the common XY conditional log odds ratio at the two levels of Z is positive If the XY and YZ conditional log odds ratios are both positive or both negative, show that the XY marginal odds ratio is larger than the XY conditional odds ratio.
Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file. Let us say you took a random sample of n = 250 numerical entries from the file and r = 60 of the entries had a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1. Test the claim that p is less than 0.301 by using α = 0.01. What does the area of the sampling distribution corresponding to your P-value look like? a. The area in the right tail of the standard normal curve. b. The area not including the right tail of the standard normal curve.…
Customers arrive to a local bakery with an average time between arrivals of5 minutes. However, there is quite a lot of variability in the customers’ arrivals, asone would expect in an unscheduled system. The single bakery server requires anamount of time having the exponential distribution with mean 4.5 minutes to servecustomers (in the order in which they arrive). No customers leave without service.f. Why are the estimated waits in this system so long? Are the assumptions behindthem reasonable? Why or why not?
