Assume that X and Y are two random variables. Suppose Y is exponential with mean 798.
Suppose that, when X is conditional on Y = y, it is exponential with mean y. (X itself is not
exponential, but when X is conditional on Y = y it is exponential.) What is the correlation of X
and Y? Give four decimal places and use random variables.
Listed below are the numbers of deaths resulting from motor vehicle crashes. Let x represent the year, with 1975 coded as x = 1, 1980 coded as x = 6, 1985 coded as
x = 11, and so on. Construct a scatterplot and identify the mathematical model that best fits the given data. Use the best model to find the projected number of deaths for
the year 2028.

The weights used to make these forecasts are w = 0.5, Wt 1 = 0.3, and w2 = 0.2. If you use a 3-month moving average with the same weights, how many birds would you forecast would be slaughtered is January 2022 (i e. one month after the last entry in the table).

This question is about logistic regression. The outcome variable is success (1=success, 0=failure), and we have two groups of observations: group A and group B. a. Assume that on average, the odds of success is x for group A members. What is the average probability of success (p) for group A? Please write down p as a function of x. Given an x, is there a unique p? b. Assume that on average, the odds ratio for success of group A over group B is 2. The average probability of success for group A is pA and that the average probability of success for group B is pg. Is the set of Paand pg unique? c. The logistic regression of success ~ group (link=logit) returns a coefficient estimate of -1.3863 for the dummy variable group (1=group A, 0=group B). Interpret this coefficient estimate.arrow_forwardAn engineer designs a circuit, seen below. In this system, if the first component fails, the functionality moves immediately to the second component and so on. The system only fails when the fifth component fails. Each component has a lifetime that is exponentially distributed with λ = 0.01 and components fail independently of one another. Define A, to be the length of time component i lasts. Let Y = the time at which the new system fails. Given 2 لنا 5 A-Exponential (0.01) Y=A1+A2+A3+A4+A5 1. Find the probability that this new system will last fewer than 50 hours.arrow_forward

- “Normal” BMI is up to 25 kg/m2. A laboratory study is being conducted to determine energy expenditure for those who are overweight and/or obese. The researchers have enrolled only subjects with BMI above 25.0 and have quantified obesity as “units above normal”. For example, a subject with BMI of 32.3 is recorded as 7.3 (i.e. 32.3 – 25.0 = 7.3). Using this scheme, the mean obesity was found to be 8.7 kg/m2and the standard deviation was 6.4 kg/m2. If we convert the obesity measure used in this study back into conventional BMI (i.e., add 25.0 units to each measurement), what will the standard deviation be? Group of answer choices The standard deviation will be larger on the BMI scale because 25.0 units will be added back. The standard deviation will be the same 6.4 kg/m2 There is not enough information to determine this The standard deviation will be smaller on the BMI scale because, as a percentage of the whole scale, the difference between each subject and the mean will be…arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT an assumption made about the random error e in a simple linear regression model?
