Concept explainers
a)
To give the list of the question of interest.
a)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The survey taken to check how often people eat meat. Therefore, the question is, “How often do you eat meat?” The options of answer are:
1)Daily
2)3-plus times a week
3)Twice a week
4)Once a week or less
5)Never
b)
To identify whether the observational study or experimental study.
b)
Answer to Problem 1.31E
This is an observational study.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
First need to understand about the experimental study and observational study:
Experimental study: Assigning people or things to groups and applying some treatment to one group, while the other group does not receive the treatment.
Observation study: In an observational study, measure or survey members of a sample without trying to affect them.
This study is an observation study. In this study, researcher asked to people about the how often they eat meat.
c)
To individuals, variables, categorical and quantitative variables.
c)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
First need knows about the individual, variables, categorical and quantitative variables:
The individuals are said to be an object of a data described by the set of data.
The variables are the headers in which survey is investigated.
Categorical variable: It describes the quality or characteristics of the data. It does not have numeric or quantitative meaning.
Quantitative variable: The variable expressed numerically and it has numeric meaning.
Therefore, Individuals are all Americans, variables are frequency of eating. There are options given for the question which are categories. Hence, frequency of the eating meat is a categorical variable.

- solve the question based on hw 1, 1.41arrow_forwardT1.4: Let ẞ(G) be the minimum size of a vertex cover, a(G) be the maximum size of an independent set and m(G) = |E(G)|. (i) Prove that if G is triangle free (no induced K3) then m(G) ≤ a(G)B(G). Hints - The neighborhood of a vertex in a triangle free graph must be independent; all edges have at least one end in a vertex cover. (ii) Show that all graphs of order n ≥ 3 and size m> [n2/4] contain a triangle. Hints - you may need to use either elementary calculus or the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.arrow_forwardWe consider the one-period model studied in class as an example. Namely, we assumethat the current stock price is S0 = 10. At time T, the stock has either moved up toSt = 12 (with probability p = 0.6) or down towards St = 8 (with probability 1−p = 0.4).We consider a call option on this stock with maturity T and strike price K = 10. Theinterest rate on the money market is zero.As in class, we assume that you, as a customer, are willing to buy the call option on100 shares of stock for $120. The investor, who sold you the option, can adopt one of thefollowing strategies: Strategy 1: (seen in class) Buy 50 shares of stock and borrow $380. Strategy 2: Buy 55 shares of stock and borrow $430. Strategy 3: Buy 60 shares of stock and borrow $480. Strategy 4: Buy 40 shares of stock and borrow $280.(a) For each of strategies 2-4, describe the value of the investor’s portfolio at time 0,and at time T for each possible movement of the stock.(b) For each of strategies 2-4, does the investor have…arrow_forward
