The human IQ is normally distributed with a mean of 100 points and a standard deviation of 15 points. A test measures the IQ with a standard deviation of 5 points. If someone scores 100 (or 150, 200) points on this test, what is a reasonable Bayesian estimate of his/her real IQ? Specifically, consider X₁N(0, 52) with a prior distribution on 0; being 0%; ~ N(100, 15²). (a) Find the posterior distribution of 0; given X₂. (b) What's the posterior expectation, E(X), for X1 = 100, X2 = 150 and X3 = 200, respectively? Do Bayesians appear to trust seemingly smart people or not? [Think: What's the statistical intuition behind their apparent trust or distrust?

The flight from Greenville to Charlotte can take anywhere from 43 minutes to 68 minutes. Suppose the random flying times, X, are uniform from 43 to 68 minutes. On average, how long does it take to fly from Greenville to Charlotte? μX=μX= Do not round.
The probability for a continuous variable that is normally distributed is equivalent to what?
The maximum patent life for a drug is 17 years. Subtracting the length of time required by the FDA for testing and approval of the drug provides the actual patent life for the drug that is, the length of time that the company has to recover research and development costs and to make a profit. The distribution of the lengths of actual patent lives for new drugs is given below, where Y is a random variable representing actual patent life of a drug (in years): y P(Y=y) F(y) 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 0.06 0.08 0.11 0.15 0.22 0.18 0.12 0.08 a) Complete the table above with the cumulative probability distribution for actual patent life (F(y) = P(Y ≤ y)). b) What is the probability that the actual patent life of a random drug is 6 years or less? c) What is the probability that the actual patent life of a random drug is more than 8 years? Show this in two ways: i. using the probability distribution for Y ii. using the cumulative probability distribution for Y, and applying our probability of comple-…
A catering service got hired to run the bar at a wedding with 100 guests. A wedding guest drinks on average 4 pints with variance of 0.9. i. Calculate how many pints the catering service approximately has to have in stock to be 95% sure that they can serve the demand. ii. To be on the safe side the catering service decides to bring 430 pints. What is the approximate probability that those will suffice?
Students arrive one at a time, completely at random, to an advice clinic at a rate of10 per hour. Students take on average 5 minutes of advice but there is wide variation inthe time they need; this variation may be well modeled by the exponential distribution.b. Again assuming one advisor, what is the probability that there are more than tenstudents in the clinic at a random point in time? What is the probability that the timespent in the clinic exceeds 30 minutes?.
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.…
