Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 91CP
Assumptions fail? Refer to the previous exercise. In view of these assumptions, indicate why such a model would or would not be good in the following situations:
- a. x = year (from 1900 to 2005), y = percentage unemployed workers in the United States. (Hint: Does y continually tend to increase or decrease?)
- b. x = age of subject, y = subject’s annual medical expenses. (Hint: Suppose expenses tend to be relatively high for the newborn and for the elderly.)
- c. x = per capita income, y = life expectancy, for nations. (Hint: The increasing trend eventually levels off.)
12.90 Assumptions What assumptions are needed to use the linear regression model to (a) obtain a meaningful fit that represents the true relationship well and (b) to make inferences about the relationship. For part b, which assumption is least critical?

7. Cantelli's inequality. Let X be a random variable with finite variance, o².
(a) Prove that, for x ≥ 0,
P(X EX2x)≤
02
x² +0²
202
P(|X - EX2x)<≤
(b) Find X assuming two values where there is equality.
(c) When is Cantelli's inequality better than Chebyshev's inequality?
(d) Use Cantelli's inequality to show that med (X) - EX ≤ o√√3; recall,
from Proposition 6.1, that an application of Chebyshev's inequality yields
the bound o√√2.
(e) Generalize Cantelli's inequality to moments of order r 1.
The college hiking club is having a fundraiser to buy new equipment for fall and winter outings. The club is selling Chinese fortune cookies at a price of $2 per cookie. Each cookie contains a piece of paper with a different number written on it. A random drawing will determine which number is the winner of a dinner for two at a local Chinese restaurant. The dinner is valued at $32. Since fortune cookies are donated to the club, we can ignore the cost of the cookies. The club sold 718 cookies before the drawing. Lisa bought 13 cookies. Lisa's expected earnings can be found by multiplying the value of the dinner by the probability that she will win. What are Lisa's expected earnings? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Wing Foot knows that its stores will not show a profit unless they gross over $940,000 per year. Let A be the event that a new Wing Foot store grosses over $940,000 its first year. Let B be the event that a store grosses over $940,000 its second year. Wing Foot has an administrative policy of closing a new store if it does not show a profit in either of the first two years. Assume that the accounting office at Wing Foot provided the following information: 58% of all Wing Foot stores show a profit the first year; 72% of all Wing Foot store show a profit the second year (this includes stores that did not show a profit the first year); however, 86% of Wing Foot stores that showed a profit the first year also showed a profit the second year.
