(Exercises 27–40) For each description of data, identify the W’s, name the variables, specify for each variable whether its use indicates that it should be treated as categorical or quantitative, and, for any quantitative variable, identify the units in which it was measured (or note that they were not provided). 39. Kentucky Derby 2016 The Kentucky Derby is a horse race that has been run every year since 1875 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. The race started as a 1.5-mile race, but in 1896, it was shortened to 1.25 miles because experts felt that 3-year-old horses shouldn’t run such a long race that early in the season. (It has been run in May every year but one—1901—when it took place on April 29.) Above are the data for the first four and seven recent races.

Please could you explain why 0.5 was added to each upper limpit of the intervals.Thanks
28. (a) Under what conditions do we say that two random variables X and Y are
independent?
(b) Demonstrate that if X and Y are independent, then it follows that E(XY) =
E(X)E(Y);
(e) Show by a counter example that the converse of (ii) is not necessarily true.
1. Let X and Y be random variables and suppose that A = F. Prove that
Z XI(A)+YI(A) is a random variable.
