(c)
To draw: The
To comment: On association between width and length of data set.
(d)
To compute:
(e)
Whether the variables share a linear relationship.
(f)
The regression line.
(g)
To predict: The length for the width of 500 yards.
(h)

- 7. Consider the function (t)=(1+|t|)e, ER. (a) Prove that is a characteristic function. (b) Prove that the corresponding distribution is absolutely continuous. (c) Prove, departing from itself, that the distribution has finite mean and variance. (d) Prove, without computation, that the mean equals 0. (e) Compute the density.arrow_forward1. Show, by using characteristic, or moment generating functions, that if fx(x) = ½ex, -∞0 < x < ∞, then XY₁ - Y2, where Y₁ and Y2 are independent, exponentially distributed random variables.arrow_forward1.

Suppose they predict that hurricane Stat has a 20 percent chance of hitting the East Coast. a. On what info are the meteorologists basing this prediction? b. Why is this prediction harder to make than your chance of getting a head on your next coin toss? U anoiaarrow_forward6.
