Answer to Problem 1CS

Solution: The required answer will be the sample is who completes the survey among 2879 residents.

Explanation of Solution

In the provided study, the sample was collected after calling 2879 residents. Therefore, the required answer that is given by “The Pew Research Center” will be the resident who completes the survey is considered as the sample.

Answer to Problem 1CS

Solution: The required answer will be that the response rate is 42%.

Explanation of Solution

The response rate for any study can be obtained if the number of respondents who answer the research question is known. In the provided study, the nonresponse rate is 58%. So, the response rate is calculated as

Response Rate=(10058)%=42%

To determine

The answer of the question “How were the subjects contacted?”

Expert Solution

The annual aggregate claim amount of an insurer follows a compound Poisson distribution with parameter 1,000. Individual claim amounts follow a Gamma distribution with shape parameter a = 750 and rate parameter λ = 0.25. 1. Generate 20,000 simulated aggregate claim values for the insurer, using a random number generator seed of 955.Display the first five simulated claim values in your answer script using the R function head(). 2. Plot the empirical density function of the simulated aggregate claim values from Question 1, setting the x-axis range from 2,600,000 to 3,300,000 and the y-axis range from 0 to 0.0000045. 3. Suggest a suitable distribution, including its parameters, that approximates the simulated aggregate claim values from Question 1. 4. Generate 20,000 values from your suggested distribution in Question 3 using a random number generator seed of 955. Use the R function head() to display the first five generated values in your answer script. 5. Plot the empirical density…
Find binomial probability if: x = 8, n = 10, p = 0.7 x= 3, n=5, p = 0.3 x = 4, n=7, p = 0.6 Quality Control: A factory produces light bulbs with a 2% defect rate. If a random sample of 20 bulbs is tested, what is the probability that exactly 2 bulbs are defective? (hint: p=2% or 0.02; x =2, n=20; use the same logic for the following problems) Marketing Campaign: A marketing company sends out 1,000 promotional emails. The probability of any email being opened is 0.15. What is the probability that exactly 150 emails will be opened? (hint: total emails or n=1000, x =150) Customer Satisfaction: A survey shows that 70% of customers are satisfied with a new product. Out of 10 randomly selected customers, what is the probability that at least 8 are satisfied? (hint: One of the keyword in this question is “at least 8”, it is not “exactly 8”, the correct formula for this should be = 1- (binom.dist(7, 10, 0.7, TRUE)). The part in the princess will give you the probability of seven and less than…
