Sociology . Two sociologists have grant money to study school busing in a particular city. They wish to conduct an opinion survey using 600 telephone contacts and 400 house contacts. Survey company A has personnel to do 30 telephone and 10 house contacts per hour: survey company B can handle 20 telephone and 20 house contacts per hour. How many hours should be scheduled for each firm to produce exactly the number of contacts needed?

1. (i) Give the definition of a metric on a set X.
[5 Marks]
(ii) Let X = {a, b, c} and let a function d : XxX → [0, ∞) be defined
as d(a, a) = d(b,b) = d(c, c) 0, d(a, c) = d(c, a) 1, d(a, b) = d(b, a) = 4,
d(b, c) = d(c,b) = 2. Decide whether d is a metric on X. Justify your answer.

(iii) Consider a metric space (R, d.), where
=

0
if x = y,
d* (x, y)

if xy.
In the metric space (R, d*), describe:
(a) open ball B2(0) of radius 2 centred at 0;
(b) closed ball B5(0) of radius 5 centred at 0;
(c) sphere S10 (0) of radius 10 centred at 0.

2. Let C([a, b]) be the metric space of continuous functions on the interval
[a, b] with the metric
doo (f,g)
=
max f(x)g(x)|.
xЄ[a,b]
= 1x. Find:
Let f(x) = 1 - x² and g(x):
(i) do(f, g) in C'([0, 1]);
(ii) do(f,g) in C([−1, 1]).

1. (i) Explain the difference in application between the Mann-Whitney U test
and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, i.e. in which scenarios would each test be
used?
(ii) What is the main procedure underlying these nonparametric tests?
