- What does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?arrow_forwardLet X1, . . . , Xn be iid from Exp(β). Find the distribution of the sample maximum Y = X(n). Is this an exponential distribution? (This question was rejected this morning. I did double check and there is no missing info with this question.)arrow_forwardThe random variables X,Y have variance Var(X)=36 and Var(Y)=1 and their correlation is Cor(X,Y)=−3/4. Calculate Var(X+Y) with a full explanationarrow_forward
- If X is a random variable with pdf f(x) = 2x − 2 where x = (1, 2), find the variance of Y = 2X - 3.arrow_forwardLet X be a random variable with mean E[X] = 20 and variance Var(X) = 3. Define Y = 3 – 6X. Calculate the mean and variance of Y.arrow_forward10) A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and number of situps a person can do (y).The results of the regression were:y=ax+b a=-0.767 b=31.009 r2=0.609961 r=-0.781 Use this to predict the number of situps a person who watches 7.5 hours of TV can do (to one decimal place)arrow_forward
- The slope of a regression line (y on x) is -0.24, we know that SDy=3.2 and SDx=4.0, then the correlation coefficient between the two variables is:A. 0.3B. -0.3C. 0.8D. -0.8arrow_forwardLet X be a continuous random variable with PDF 3 x > 1 x4 fx(x) = otherwise Find the mean and variance of x.arrow_forward
