Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.90E
Use the dataset ceodata0t on the companion website for this exercise, which gives the ages (Age) and salaries (Salary) for the 50 highest-paid CEOs on the Fortune 500 list of top companies in the United States (Data source: http://www.forbes. com/lists/2009/12/best-boss 09_CEO-Compensation_CompTotDisp.html).
- In the relationship between age and salary, which is the response variable and which is the explanatory variable?
- Plot Salary versus Age. Are there any obvious outliers in the plot?
- Use your plot from part (b) to discuss whether linear regression is appropriate for predicting CEO salaries from age for the top Fortune 500 companies.

A well-known company predominantly makes flat pack furniture for students. Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected.
a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected.
b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected?
c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion. Calculate the maximum acceptable standard deviation of the new process.
5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote
symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6). Show that
(X + Y) X+ys.
8. Suppose that the moments of the random variable X are constant, that is, suppose
that EX" =c for all n ≥ 1, for some constant c. Find the distribution of X.
