Question
Chapter 2.1, Problem 2.2E
To determine
To Calculate: the counts for the four marital status categories and why these sum in not equal.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Given:
| Marital Status | Count |
| Never married | 25262 |
| Married | 65128 |
| Widowed | 11208 |
| Divorced | 13210 |
| Total | 114807 |
Calculation:
| Marital Status | Count |
| Never married | 25262 |
| Married | 65128 |
| Widowed | 11208 |
| Divorced | 13210 |
| Total | 114808 |
Adding all counts get 114808 while the given total is 114807.These numbers are not the same because as some people got married for a part of the year 2007 and got divorced for the rest of the year (never married/ can also be married).

The researchers in Exercise 1.32 also administered the quiz of past public events to 30 individuals who did not claim to have any unusual memory abilities (controls). Their scores are displayed in Figure 1.17(b), using the same horizontal axis scale as that of the histogram of Figure 1.17(a) for easier comparison. a. Describe the shape, center, and spread of the distribution of quiz scores for the control individuals. b. Compare the histograms in Figure 1.17(a) and (b). How does the distribution of scores among the control individuals support your interpretation of HSAM claims from Exercise 1.32(b)? 1.32.b. This histogram suggests that the HSAM claims may be overstated. While some individuals scored very highly on the quiz, others scored only moderately well, and a significant number scored below 60%. This suggests that having HSAM does not necessarily imply perfect or near-perfect recall of autobiographical information.

- 3. Bayesian Inference – Updating Beliefs A medical test for a rare disease has the following characteristics: Sensitivity (true positive rate): 99% Specificity (true negative rate): 98% The disease occurs in 0.5% of the population. A patient receives a positive test result. Questions: a) Define the relevant events and use Bayes’ Theorem to compute the probability that the patient actually has the disease.b) Explain why the result might seem counterintuitive, despite the high sensitivity and specificity.c) Discuss how prior probabilities influence posterior beliefs in Bayesian inference.d) Suppose a second, independent test with the same accuracy is conducted and is also positive. Update the probability that the patient has the disease.arrow_forward4. Linear Regression - Model Assumptions and Interpretation A real estate analyst is studying how house prices (Y) are related to house size in square feet (X). A simple linear regression model is proposed: The analyst fits the model and obtains: • Ŷ50,000+150X YBoB₁X + € • R² = 0.76 • Residuals show a fan-shaped pattern when plotted against fitted values. Questions: a) Interpret the slope coefficient in context. b) Explain what the R² value tells us about the model's performance. c) Based on the residual pattern, what regression assumption is likely violated? What might be the consequence? d) Suggest at least two remedies to improve the model, based on the residual analysis.arrow_forward5. Probability Distributions – Continuous Random Variables A factory machine produces metal rods whose lengths (in cm) follow a continuous uniform distribution on the interval [98, 102]. Questions: a) Define the probability density function (PDF) of the rod length.b) Calculate the probability that a randomly selected rod is shorter than 99 cm.c) Determine the expected value and variance of rod lengths.d) If a sample of 25 rods is selected, what is the probability that their average length is between 99.5 cm and 100.5 cm?
