a)
To give the list of the question of interest.
a)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
According to the National Institute on Media and the Family, a preschooler’s risk of obesity jumps 6% for every hour of television watched per day. The risk increases by 31% if the TV is in their bedroom.
The study is about the watching a risk of watching a TV and relative risk of watching a TV in their bedroom. Therefore, the question arises are:
1)How much do you watch a television per day?
2)Do you have a TV in your bedroom?
b)
To identify whether the observational study or experimental study.
b)
Answer to Problem 1.32E
This is an observational study.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
According to the National Institute on Media and the Family, a preschooler’s risk of obesity jumps 6% for every hour of television watched per day. The risk increases by 31% if the TV is in their bedroom.
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, the researcher asked to people about the watching a television.
c)
To individuals and variables.

Explanation of Solution
Given:
According to the National Institute on Media and the Family, a preschooler’s risk of obesity jumps 6% for every hour of television watched per day. The risk increases by 31% if the TV is in their bedroom.
First need knows about the individual and 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.
The individuals are preschooler’s which having ages 1 to 4. The variables are Number of hours of watching a TV and TV in bedroom.

- 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
