PS Da2

The document outlines various statistical problems involving correlations, probability distributions, and machine adjustments. It includes tasks such as measuring linear relationships, calculating correlation coefficients, and determining probabilities related to survival times and call rates. Additionally, it addresses the distribution of sums of normal variates and the probability of machine adjustments in a workshop setting.

Digital Assignment 2

1. The following table gives the frequency of scores obtained by 65 students in a general
knowledge test according to age groups. Measure the degree of linear relationship
between age and general knowledge:

2. The correlation between a general intelligence test and school achievement in a group
of children from 6 to15 years is 0.8. The correlation between the general intelligence
test and age in the same group is 0.7 and the correlation between school achievement
and age is 0.6. What is the correlation between general intelligence and school
achievement in children of the same age?

3. Twenty-five pairs of values of variates X and Y led to the following results:

A subsequent scrutiny showed that two pairs of values were copied down as:

(i) Obtain the correct value of the correlation coefficient.


(ii) Hence, find the correct equations of the two lines of regression.

4. In a biomedical study with rats a dose response investigation is used to determine the
effect of the dose of a toxicant on their survival time. The toxicant is a poison discharged
into the atmosphere from jet fuel. For a certain dose of the toxicant the study determines
the survival time (in weeks) has a Gamma distribution with λ= 1 10, α=5. What is the
probability that a rat survives not more than 60 weeks?

5. At a 911 call center, calls come in at an average rate of one call every two minutes.
Assume that the time that elapses from one call to the next has the exponential
distribution.
i) On average, how much time occurs between five consecutive calls?.
ii) Find the probability that after a call is received, it takes more than three minutes
for the next call to occur.
iii) Ninety-percent of all calls occur within how many minutes of the previous call?.
iv) Suppose that two minutes have elapsed since the last call. Find the probability
that the next call will occur within the next minute.
v) Find the probability that less than 20 calls occur within an hour

6. If X is a normal variate with mean 1 and variance 4. Y is another normal variate


independent of X with mean 2 and variance 3. What is the distribution of X +2Y?

7. A department in a workshop has 10 machines that may need adjustment form time to
time during the day. Three of these machines are old, each having a probability of 1/11
of needing adjustment during the day, and seven are new, having corresponding
probabilities of 1/21. If the machine needs adjustments on the same day, determine the
probability that on day
i) Just 2 old and no new machines need adjustments.
ii) Just 2 machines need adjustment which are of the same type
